Accounting Packages UK – Flexible Accounting Services Packages for Every Business

If you’re searching for accounting packages in the UK, you’re likely comparing far more than just price alone.

Most business owners evaluating accounting services packages are assessing a combination of factors, including service scope, pricing transparency, compliance coverage, technology integration, and the long-term financial value an accountant can deliver.

In today’s regulatory and economic landscape, accounting is no longer a once-per-year obligation focused solely on statutory filings. Instead, it has evolved into an ongoing financial management function that supports operational decision-making, tax efficiency, and sustainable growth.

Modern businesses require more than year-end accounts. They need structured bookkeeping, proactive tax planning, payroll administration, VAT compliance oversight, and real-time financial reporting — all delivered within predictable monthly pricing models that support accurate budgeting and cash flow forecasting.

At Audit Consulting Group, our accounting packages are designed to scale alongside your business — from simple sole trader support through to fully managed corporate finance functions for growing SMEs and limited companies.

Whether you’re launching a startup, expanding your workforce, registering for VAT, or managing multi-entity reporting structures, our service tiers adapt to your operational complexity.

We provide transparent, fixed-fee accounting services packages tailored to your structure, turnover, transaction volume, and reporting requirements — ensuring you receive the right level of financial support without unnecessary cost exposure.

What Our Accounting Packages Include

Our business accounting packages combine statutory compliance, financial advisory, and digital reporting infrastructure into structured monthly service tiers.

Rather than treating accounting as a retrospective exercise, we deliver continuous financial oversight designed to maintain compliance while providing real-time insight into business performance.

Core Compliance Coverage

Typical inclusions across our accounting services packages cover all essential UK regulatory reporting obligations, including:

• Bookkeeping and reconciliations
• Annual statutory accounts preparation
• Corporation Tax returns (CT600)
• Self Assessment tax returns
• Companies House filing submissions

These services ensure businesses remain compliant with both HMRC and Companies House filing requirements while avoiding late submission penalties.

VAT & Payroll Administration

Where applicable, packages also include operational compliance services such as:

• VAT return preparation and submission
• VAT scheme advisory
• Payroll processing
• PAYE reporting
• Pension auto-enrolment administration

These reporting obligations require ongoing monitoring and accurate digital submissions under Making Tax Digital regulations.

Corporate Governance & HMRC Representation

Our accountants act as authorised agents, managing HMRC liaison and correspondence on behalf of clients.

This includes:

• Responding to HMRC notices
• Managing compliance queries
• Handling filing reminders
• Supporting enquiry resolution

Professional representation reduces administrative burden while ensuring accurate regulatory communication.

Strategic Tax Planning & Advisory

Beyond compliance, our packages incorporate proactive financial guidance designed to improve tax efficiency and profitability.

Services include:

• Tax planning and advisory
• Allowable expense optimisation
• Dividend vs salary structuring
• Corporation Tax forecasting
• Profit extraction strategy

This forward-looking approach transforms accounting from a cost centre into a value-generating function.

Real-Time Financial Reporting

All packages are delivered through cloud accounting platforms, providing live access to financial data.

Clients benefit from:

• Real-time profit and loss reporting
• Cash flow monitoring
• Tax liability estimates
• Performance dashboards

This visibility enables faster, more informed commercial decision-making.

Each accounting package is structured to deliver both regulatory compliance and financial clarity — ensuring businesses meet statutory obligations while maintaining full visibility over financial performance.

Why Businesses Choose Monthly Accounting Packages

Accounting services packages have evolved significantly in recent years, driven by regulatory reform, digital transformation, and changing business expectations.

Traditional year-end accounting models are increasingly being replaced by structured monthly service frameworks.

Key Drivers Behind This Shift

Businesses are moving toward monthly accounting packages due to several industry developments:

• Making Tax Digital compliance requirements
• Accelerated cloud accounting adoption
• Demand for real-time financial reporting
• Increased HMRC enforcement activity
• Growing operational complexity

Digital reporting obligations and automation technology have fundamentally changed how accountants deliver services.

Making Tax Digital Compliance

HMRC’s Making Tax Digital initiative requires businesses to maintain digital accounting records and submit tax data electronically.

This has increased reporting frequency while reducing tolerance for manual record-keeping errors.

Cloud Accounting Adoption

Modern accounting platforms enable automated bookkeeping, bank feed integrations, and digital VAT submissions — streamlining compliance processes while improving reporting accuracy.

Demand for Real-Time Insight

Business owners now require immediate access to financial performance metrics to support decisions around hiring, pricing, expansion, and investment.

Monthly accounting packages provide this continuous visibility.

Increased HMRC Enforcement

Digital systems allow HMRC to identify anomalies faster, increasing the importance of accurate, up-to-date financial reporting.

As a result, fixed monthly accounting packages have become the preferred service model for UK businesses seeking predictable costs combined with proactive financial oversight.

Benefits of Structured Accounting Packages

Choosing a bundled accounting package provides both operational efficiency and financial planning advantages.

Fixed Monthly Pricing

Subscription-based pricing ensures businesses can forecast accounting costs accurately without year-end billing surprises.

No Unexpected Invoices

Clear service scope definitions eliminate hidden charges and ensure full cost transparency.

Ongoing Compliance Monitoring

Continuous oversight ensures:

• Deadlines are met
• Filings remain accurate
• Penalty exposure is minimised

Real-Time Tax Forecasting

Businesses receive forward-looking tax estimates rather than retrospective liabilities — enabling more effective financial planning.

Year-Round Advisory Access

Clients benefit from continuous access to professional financial guidance rather than ad hoc year-end consultations.

Automated Reporting Systems

Cloud integrations automate bookkeeping, reporting, and submission workflows — improving efficiency while reducing administrative burden.

Structured accounting packages ensure businesses remain compliant while gaining the financial insight required to support strategic growth and long-term profitability.

Simple Accounting Packages for Sole Traders

For self-employed professionals and freelancers, we offer simple accounting packages designed to cover essential compliance requirements without unnecessary complexity.

Sole Trader Accounting Plans

Our sole trader accounting packages are designed to provide self-employed professionals with structured, affordable compliance support while maintaining flexibility as income and reporting obligations grow.

Sole traders operate under simpler statutory frameworks than incorporated entities — however, they remain responsible for accurate income reporting, allowable expense tracking, and timely Self Assessment submissions to HMRC.

Our tiered sole trader accounting packages ensure individuals receive the appropriate level of financial oversight without overpaying for unnecessary corporate services.

PLAN STANDARD – £40 per month

Best suited for non-VAT registered sole traders.

This entry-level package is designed for freelancers and self-employed professionals with straightforward income structures and limited reporting complexity.

It provides essential compliance coverage while ensuring accurate tax calculation and HMRC submission management.

Includes:

• Annual accounts preparation
  • Self Assessment tax return
  • CIS claims and refunds
  • Income and expense reporting
  • HMRC correspondence support

Our accountants ensure all trading income is accurately reported while identifying allowable business expenses to reduce taxable profit exposure.

We also manage direct communication with HMRC, responding to notices and filing queries on your behalf.

Who This Package Is Ideal For

This package is particularly suitable for:

• Freelancers
• Consultants
• Designers and creatives
• IT contractors
• Tradespeople
• First-year sole traders

It provides cost-effective compliance while maintaining professional tax oversight.

For many early-stage self-employed individuals, this package delivers the perfect balance between affordability and regulatory protection.

PLAN PREMIUM – £100 per month

Designed for VAT-registered sole traders requiring expanded compliance services.

As sole traders grow, reporting obligations often increase — particularly once VAT registration thresholds are exceeded or staff hiring begins.

The Premium package is structured to support higher-turnover self-employed professionals operating within more complex compliance environments.

Includes:

• VAT return preparation and submission
  • Annual accounts
  • Self Assessment tax return
  • CIS claims and refunds
  • Payroll for up to 2 employees
  • Pension scheme processing

This package integrates both personal and operational tax reporting — ensuring VAT liabilities, payroll submissions, and pension compliance are managed within a single accounting framework.

Growth-Stage Sole Trader Support

This package is particularly beneficial for sole traders who:

• Exceed the VAT registration threshold
• Employ administrative or operational staff
• Operate within CIS construction schemes
• Require payroll and pension reporting
• Need ongoing tax planning guidance

By consolidating these services into a fixed monthly accounting package, businesses gain predictable costs alongside full compliance oversight.

Or get a quote for a tailored monthly compliance plan aligned with your turnover and reporting obligations.

Business Accounting Packages for Limited Companies

Our limited company accounting packages provide structured corporate compliance combined with integrated tax planning and financial reporting advisory — delivering far more than basic statutory filing support.

Unlike sole traders, incorporated entities operate within a significantly more complex regulatory framework.

Limited companies must meet dual reporting obligations to both HMRC and Companies House, while also maintaining director payroll compliance, dividend reporting accuracy, and Corporation Tax planning efficiency.

This expanded compliance environment requires continuous financial oversight rather than retrospective year-end intervention.

Our business accounting packages are therefore designed to function as an outsourced finance department — ensuring corporate governance, statutory reporting, and tax structuring are managed proactively throughout the financial year.

Broader Compliance Responsibilities for Limited Companies

Incorporated businesses must manage a range of statutory filings and regulatory submissions, including:

• Annual statutory accounts
• Corporation Tax returns (CT600)
• Companies House filings
• Confirmation Statements
• Director payroll reporting
• Dividend declarations

Failure to meet these obligations can result in penalties, late filing fines, or director compliance breaches.

Our accounting services packages ensure these responsibilities are managed accurately and on time.

Tiered Corporate Accounting Support

Our limited company accounting packages are tiered according to:

• Annual turnover
• Payroll headcount
• Transaction volume
• VAT registration status
• Reporting complexity
• Advisory requirements

This tiered structure ensures each business receives proportionate financial support aligned with operational scale — without overpaying for unnecessary service layers.

PLAN STARTUP – £80 per month

Perfect for start-ups & small businesses

This package is specifically structured for newly incorporated companies requiring foundational compliance coverage without advanced reporting layers or complex advisory requirements.

It provides essential statutory filings while establishing strong financial governance from the outset of trading.

Eligibility:

• Turnover under £50,000
  • Single bank account

These criteria reflect early-stage trading businesses with limited transaction volume, straightforward bookkeeping requirements, and minimal workforce obligations.

Such companies typically prioritise cost control while ensuring regulatory compliance is professionally managed.

Includes:

• Annual statutory accounts
  • Corporation Tax return (CT600)
  • Companies House filing
  • Confirmation Statement submission
  • HMRC registrations
  • Payroll for 1 director
  • Salary & dividend tax advice
  • Email and phone support

This service structure ensures all mandatory filings are completed accurately while supporting directors with efficient remuneration structuring designed to optimise personal and corporate tax positioning.

Startup Compliance Foundation

The Startup package is ideal for:

• Newly incorporated companies
  • Owner-managed businesses
  • Single-director consultancies
  • Early-stage service providers

It provides all mandatory filings alongside essential advisory guidance — ensuring businesses establish compliant accounting processes from day one.

By embedding tax planning early, directors avoid costly restructuring later as turnover grows.

PLAN GROWTH – £160 per month

For scaling businesses

As businesses expand operationally, financial complexity increases — particularly where workforce hiring, pension obligations, or cross-border trading is introduced.

The Growth package builds upon Startup compliance coverage while introducing expanded employer reporting and strategic tax advisory support.

Eligibility:

• Turnover £50,000 – £90,000
  • Multi-currency operations supported

These businesses often engage in:

• International supplier payments
• Overseas client invoicing
• Contractor settlements in foreign currencies

Multi-currency accounting introduces exchange rate considerations, reconciliation adjustments, and reporting complexities requiring specialist oversight.

Includes everything in STARTUP plus:

• Payroll for up to 5 employees
  • Pension submissions
  • Regulator declarations
  • Expanded tax planning support

This package ensures employer compliance obligations — including PAYE reporting and auto-enrolment pension submissions — are managed accurately and in line with The Pensions Regulator requirements.

Employer & Workforce Compliance Coverage

Growth-stage businesses benefit from structured support in areas such as:

• Employee onboarding payroll setup
• Real Time Information (RTI) submissions
• Workplace pension contributions
• Year-end P60 and P11D reporting

This ensures workforce expansion does not introduce compliance risk.

Ideal Growth-Phase Businesses

Typical clients include:

• Expanding service companies
  • E-commerce sellers
  • Marketing and creative agencies
  • Recruitment firms
  • Import/export traders

The Growth package supports operational scaling while maintaining regulatory accuracy and financial visibility.

PLAN PREMIUM – £300 per month

For established businesses

Our Premium accounting package delivers full-service financial oversight for mature SMEs operating with higher turnover, workforce complexity, and expanded reporting obligations.

This tier functions as a fully outsourced finance function — integrating compliance, reporting, and strategic advisory under one structured service model.

Eligibility:

• Turnover £90,000 – £250,000

Businesses within this bracket typically require continuous reporting, VAT oversight, director remuneration modelling, and forward-looking tax planning.

  • Companies House compliance filings
  • Pension submissions
  • Quarterly VAT returns
  • Monthly management accounts
  • Payroll for up to 10 employees

Monthly management accounts provide directors with detailed performance analysis, including:

• Revenue trend tracking

These reports support strategic commercial decision-making.

Strategic Financial Oversight

The Premium package is particularly valuable for businesses requiring:

• Regular profitability analysis
  • Cash flow forecasting
  • Tax liability planning
  • Director remuneration modelling
  • Growth strategy advisory

Quarterly financial review meetings allow accountants to interpret financial data, identify optimisation opportunities, and recommend tax-efficient structuring adjustments.

Beyond compliance, Premium clients benefit from proactive strategic guidance, including:

• Expansion feasibility modelling

• Dividend timing optimisation
• Capital investment planning

This transforms accounting from a reporting function into a commercial growth enabler.

Or get a quote for a fixed monthly corporate accounting plan tailored to your turnover, payroll size, VAT obligations, and advisory requirements.

Individual Accounting Services Pricing

While many clients choose bundled accounting packages for ongoing compliance and advisory support, some businesses and individuals require standalone services delivered on a one-off or ad hoc basis.

This is particularly common where clients:

• Need urgent HMRC assistance
• Require historical tax corrections
• Are setting up or closing a business
• Want expert advice before committing to monthly packages

Audit Consulting Group provides transparent fixed pricing for individual accounting and tax services — ensuring businesses and individuals can access professional support exactly when needed, without long-term contractual commitments.

Our modular pricing model allows clients to resolve specific compliance or tax matters efficiently while maintaining full cost visibility.

Consultation Services

Professional consultation is often the first step in resolving complex tax or compliance questions.

Our advisory sessions are designed to provide practical, actionable guidance tailored to each client’s financial position and reporting obligations.

• Tax planning guidance
  • Business structure advice
  • VAT registration queries

• Registering for VAT
• Hiring their first employees
• Facing HMRC enquiries

This service is ideal for businesses seeking expert clarity before committing to ongoing accounting packages or making structural financial decisions.

Personal Tax & HMRC Support Services

We provide specialist support for individuals requiring tax corrections, refund claims, or HMRC administrative updates.

Many taxpayers overpay liabilities due to incorrect tax codes, missed relief claims, or unclaimed allowances.

Our accountants liaise directly with HMRC to recover funds, correct records, and ensure tax positions are accurately aligned with income reporting.

Income Tax & HMRC Requests

Service	Description	Price
PAYE Refund (Income Tax)	Refund claim submission to HMRC	£150.00
Change Tax Code	HMRC tax code correction request	£50.00
Overpaid Income Tax Claim	Refund recovery submission	£50.00

PAYE Refund Support

Where employees have overpaid tax through PAYE deductions, we prepare and submit formal refund claims supported by income verification and HMRC reconciliation.

Tax Code Corrections

Incorrect tax codes can lead to ongoing overpayment or underpayment of Income Tax.

We review coding notices, liaise with HMRC, and submit correction requests to ensure payroll deductions reflect accurate liability calculations.

Overpaid Income Tax Recovery

Where historical overpayments are identified, we prepare formal claims to recover funds owed — ensuring taxpayers reclaim allowable refunds efficiently.

These services ensure taxpayers recover overpaid liabilities while maintaining accurate payroll tax coding going forward.

Self-Employed Accounting Services

For freelancers, contractors, and sole traders requiring individual compliance support, we offer flexible incident-based pricing aligned with business lifecycle needs.

Self-employed individuals often require support beyond annual tax returns — particularly during setup, structural changes, or cessation.

Our standalone services ensure each stage of the self-employment journey is managed compliantly.

Self-Employed Service Pricing

Service	Description	Price
Consultation	60 minutes	£50.00

Marriage Allowance Applications

We also support personal tax relief applications such as Marriage Allowance transfers — helping eligible couples reduce household tax liabilities.

Lifecycle Support for Sole Traders

These services support sole traders across their full lifecycle — from registration and growth through to cessation or structural transition into limited company status.

Clients can access standalone services or transition into monthly accounting packages as reporting complexity increases.

Company Formation & Registration Services

For new businesses entering the UK market, establishing the correct legal and tax structure from the outset is critical.

Company formation is more than simply registering a business name — it involves setting up statutory records, appointing directors, registering for taxation, and ensuring operational compliance with both Companies House and HMRC.

Audit Consulting Group provides complete company setup and statutory registration services designed to ensure new businesses launch fully compliant, operationally ready, and structurally optimised for tax efficiency.

Our formation services are suitable for:

• UK startups
• Overseas entrepreneurs entering the UK market

We manage the full registration process end-to-end — removing administrative burden while ensuring accuracy across all statutory filings.

Limited Company Formation Packages

We offer tiered limited company formation packages depending on the level of registration support required at launch.

Full Formation Package – £350

Includes:

• Companies House incorporation

  • HMRC registration

This package is suitable for:

• Newly formed consultancies
• Single-director startups
• Low-turnover service businesses

Additional Company Registrations

As businesses scale, additional registrations may become necessary depending on hiring plans, turnover thresholds, or international trade activities.

We provide standalone registration services to support operational expansion.

Registration Services Pricing

Service	Description	Price
Business Bank Account Application	Form completion support	£150.00
PAYE Registration	Employer setup with HMRC	£150.00

EORI Registration	Import/export registration	£100.00

Business Bank Account Support

Opening a corporate bank account can be complex due to AML verification and director due diligence requirements.

We assist with application preparation, documentation alignment, and compliance checks to streamline approval.

PAYE & Employer Setup

Where companies intend to hire employees or pay directors via salary, PAYE registration is mandatory.

We manage:

• Employer reference applications
• Payroll scheme activation
• HMRC employer enrolment

VAT Registration Advisory

We assess whether voluntary or mandatory VAT registration is most beneficial — advising on scheme selection, threshold planning, and reclaim optimisation.

EORI Registration

Businesses importing or exporting goods must obtain an Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number.

We manage registration to ensure customs compliance and uninterrupted trade operations.

VAT De-Registration

Where turnover falls below thresholds or businesses cease trading, we manage VAT scheme closures and final return submissions.

Payroll Services Pricing

Payroll administration is one of the most compliance-sensitive areas of business accounting.

Payroll complexity directly impacts accountant workload, reporting frequency, and statutory submission requirements.

Even small payroll structures must comply with:

• PAYE reporting
• Real Time Information (RTI) submissions
• National Insurance calculations
• Pension auto-enrolment obligations

We provide scalable payroll accounting services packages tailored to workforce size and reporting complexity.

Director & Employee Payroll

Payroll Service	Scope	Price
Director Payroll	1 director	£50/month
Payroll (up to 5 employees)	Full PAYE processing	£60/month
Additional Employee	Per employee add-on	£10/month

Director Payroll Structuring

Director payroll requires careful tax planning to balance:

• Salary thresholds
• National Insurance efficiency
• Dividend extraction strategies

We structure remuneration to optimise both corporate and personal tax positions.

Employee Payroll Administration

Our payroll service includes:

• Payslip generation
• PAYE calculations
• RTI submissions
• Year-end reporting (P60s)
• Leave and statutory pay tracking

This ensures workforce compliance is maintained without internal administrative burden.

Auto-Enrolment Compliance

UK employers are legally required to enrol eligible employees into workplace pension schemes.

We manage:

• Pension provider submissions
• Contribution calculations
• Regulator reporting
• Employee eligibility monitoring

This ensures full compliance with The Pensions Regulator requirements while reducing administrative complexity.

VAT Return Services

VAT reporting is one of the most administratively intensive areas of UK tax compliance.

Unlike annual tax filings, VAT returns require quarterly submissions, digital record-keeping, and ongoing transaction categorisation — making accuracy and consistency critical.

VAT reporting complexity varies significantly based on factors such as:

• Transaction volume
• Invoice count
• Sales channels
• International trade exposure
• VAT scheme selection

Businesses operating under the Flat Rate Scheme, Standard VAT Accounting, or Cash Accounting Scheme may face different reconciliation and reporting obligations.

Our VAT return services ensure all submissions are prepared accurately, reviewed professionally, and filed in line with Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements.

VAT Return Pricing

Service	Scope	Price
VAT Return (up to 100 invoices/quarter)	Preparation & submission	£250/quarter
VAT Return (100+ invoices/quarter)	High-volume reconciliation	£400/quarter

Higher invoice volumes require advanced reconciliation processes, including:

• Multi-source transaction matching
• Digital receipt validation
• Input/output VAT verification
• Error correction reviews

Where businesses operate across multiple platforms — such as e-commerce gateways or international supplier networks — additional reconciliation layers may apply.

Our structured VAT workflows ensure compliance accuracy while minimising HMRC enquiry risk.

Statutory Accounts & Compliance Filings

Limited companies must meet annual statutory reporting obligations with both HMRC and Companies House.

These filings provide formal disclosure of company financial performance, tax liabilities, and corporate governance data.

Failure to submit statutory accounts accurately or on time can result in:

• Late filing penalties
• Director compliance breaches
• Strike-off proceedings
• Credit rating implications

Our statutory accounting services ensure companies remain fully compliant while presenting financial data in accordance with UK accounting standards.

Annual Accounts Pricing

Service	Description	Price
Annual Accounts – Nil Activity	Dormant / inactive company	£300
Annual Accounts – Trading Company	Full statutory accounts	£850
Dormant Accounts Filing	Companies House submission	£400

Dormant Company Reporting

Dormant companies — while not actively trading — must still submit annual accounts and confirmation filings.

We prepare and file dormant financial statements ensuring Companies House compliance is maintained without unnecessary administrative burden.

Trading Company Accounts Preparation

For active businesses, we prepare full statutory accounts including:

• Profit & Loss statements
• Balance sheets
• Notes to the accounts
• Director reports

These accounts form the basis for Corporation Tax calculations and Companies House disclosures.

Company Secretarial Services

Corporate governance obligations extend beyond financial reporting.

Companies must maintain accurate statutory registers and notify Companies House of structural or administrative changes.

Secretarial Services Pricing

Service	Description	Price
Confirmation Statement Filing	Annual Companies House update	£150
Company Administration Changes	Address, SIC code, directors, shareholders	£150

Confirmation Statement Filings

The Confirmation Statement verifies company ownership, registered office details, and SIC activity classifications annually.

Timely submission ensures Companies House records remain current and legally compliant.

Corporate Administration Updates

We manage structural changes including:

• Director appointments or resignations
• Shareholder changes
• Registered address updates
• SIC code amendments

Maintaining accurate corporate records is essential for banking, lending, and regulatory verification purposes.

Transparent Pricing. Modular Support.

Our individual accounting service pricing structure is designed to provide flexible access to specialist financial support without requiring full-service monthly commitments.

This modular approach allows businesses to engage professional accountants precisely where support is required.

Businesses Use Standalone Services To:

• Access specialist support when required
  • Supplement internal finance teams
  • Resolve HMRC issues quickly
  • Maintain compliance without full packages

This flexibility is particularly valuable for startups, micro-entities, or companies with in-house bookkeeping functions requiring external review.

Transitioning to Monthly Accounting Packages

As businesses grow, many transition from standalone services into bundled accounting packages.

This shift is typically driven by:

• Increasing transaction volume
• VAT registration
• Payroll expansion
• Advisory requirements

Bundled packages often provide greater cost efficiency while ensuring continuous compliance monitoring.

Accounting Packages for CIS Contractors

Construction businesses and subcontractor-heavy companies face unique accounting and compliance obligations under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).

CIS reporting introduces additional administrative layers beyond standard payroll and tax reporting frameworks.

Key CIS Compliance Requirements

Contractors operating under CIS must manage:

• Monthly subcontractor payment reporting
• Deduction calculations
• HMRC verification checks
• CIS tax withholding submissions

Errors in CIS reporting can result in financial penalties, subcontractor disputes, or gross payment status complications.

Increased Accounting Complexity

CIS reporting requires detailed tracking of:

• Labour vs material cost allocations
• Subcontractor verification status
• Deduction rates (20% / 30%)
• Monthly submission deadlines

This increases both compliance workload and accountant involvement compared to standard payroll processing.

Audit Consulting Group provides specialist CIS accounting packages designed to ensure full HMRC compliance while maintaining accurate contractor payment reporting, deduction tracking, and submission accuracy.

Our structured contractor accounting support reduces administrative burden while protecting businesses from CIS penalty exposure.

CIS Contractor Accounting Plans

Construction businesses operating under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) face some of the most complex payroll and tax reporting requirements within the UK accounting landscape.

Unlike standard limited companies, CIS contractors must manage monthly subcontractor reporting, tax deductions at source, and verification obligations — all within strict HMRC submission deadlines.

Failure to comply can result in:

• Financial penalties
• Loss of gross payment status
• HMRC compliance investigations
• Subcontractor payment disputes

Our CIS contractor accounting plans are designed to simplify this complexity by providing structured, fully managed compliance support tailored to the construction sector.

PLAN STANDARD – £100 per month

Best suited for smaller contractors and subcontractor teams

This package provides essential CIS and corporate compliance coverage for construction businesses operating with limited subcontractor networks and lower turnover levels.

It ensures all mandatory filings are completed accurately while maintaining cost-efficient support for smaller operations.

Eligibility:

• Turnover under £90,000
  • Single bank account operations

These criteria typically apply to:

• Small construction firms
• Specialist trade contractors
• Sole director construction companies
• Early-stage subcontractor teams

Lower transaction volume allows for streamlined reconciliation and reporting workflows.

Includes:

• Monthly PAYE processing
  • CIS returns for up to 3 subcontractors
  • Annual statutory accounts
  • Corporation Tax return (CT600)
  • Companies House filings
  • Confirmation Statement submission

CIS Compliance Coverage

This package ensures accurate management of:

• Subcontractor payment reporting
• Deduction calculations
• Monthly CIS submissions
• Year-end contractor summaries

We also verify subcontractor tax status with HMRC to ensure correct deduction rates are applied.

Small Contractor Compliance Support

The Standard package is ideal for construction businesses seeking structured compliance oversight without the cost burden of enterprise-level accounting support.

It provides essential filing coverage while protecting contractors from late submission penalties and reporting errors.

PLAN PREMIUM – £200 per month

Designed for scaling construction firms managing larger subcontractor networks

As construction businesses expand, CIS reporting complexity increases significantly — particularly where multiple subcontractors, VAT registration, and gross payment status applications are involved.

The Premium package provides enhanced reporting capacity alongside VAT integration and compliance advisory.

Eligibility:

• Turnover £90,000 – £250,000

Businesses within this bracket typically manage larger project pipelines, increased subcontractor payments, and higher regulatory exposure.

Includes:

• Monthly PAYE processing
  • CIS returns for up to 10 subcontractors
  • Quarterly VAT returns
  • Gross status registration support
  • Annual statutory accounts
  • Corporation Tax return (CT600)
  • Companies House compliance filings
  • Confirmation Statement submission

Gross Payment Status Support

Gross payment status allows contractors to receive payments without CIS deductions — significantly improving cash flow.

We manage:

• Application preparation
• Compliance eligibility checks
• HMRC submission
• Ongoing status maintenance

Maintaining gross status requires strict filing compliance, which our accounting oversight supports.

VAT & CIS Integration

Construction firms often operate above VAT thresholds, requiring dual reporting under both VAT and CIS frameworks.

Our integrated reporting structure ensures:

• CIS deductions align with VAT reporting
• Input VAT is reclaimed accurately
• Reverse charge VAT rules are applied correctly

This reduces reconciliation discrepancies and HMRC enquiry risk.

Scalable Contractor Accounting Infrastructure

The Premium package is particularly valuable for businesses managing:

• Multiple subcontractor teams
• Large-scale construction projects
• Multi-site operations
• Complex labour/material cost splits

Enhanced reporting coverage ensures financial records remain audit-ready and regulatorily compliant.

Book a consultation to discuss your CIS accounting requirements and subcontractor reporting obligations in detail.

Accounting Packages Comparison – What’s Included?

Choosing the right accounting package depends on far more than price alone.

Businesses must evaluate a combination of operational, regulatory, and strategic factors before selecting the most appropriate level of financial support.

Key decision drivers typically include:

• Business size and turnover
• VAT registration status
• Payroll headcount
• Transaction volume
• Industry-specific compliance requirements
• Advisory and forecasting needs

Selecting a package aligned with these variables ensures businesses receive proportionate support without overpaying for unnecessary service layers.

Below is a high-level comparison across our core business accounting packages.

How to Interpret the Package Tiers

This tiered structure allows businesses to scale accounting support as operational complexity increases.

For example:

• Startup packages focus on statutory compliance and director remuneration.
• Growth packages introduce workforce reporting and pension administration.
• Premium packages deliver full financial oversight, including management reporting and strategic advisory.

As turnover and staffing levels increase, so too does the need for deeper financial visibility and proactive tax planning.

Simple vs Full Accounting Packages

Businesses often ask whether they require simple accounting packages or fully managed services.

The answer depends largely on compliance scope, reporting frequency, and future growth trajectory.

Choosing too basic a package can create compliance risk, while over-specifying services may result in unnecessary cost.

Simple Accounting Packages

Simple accounting packages are designed to provide foundational compliance coverage without advanced advisory or reporting layers.

Best Suited For:

• Sole traders
  • Freelancers
  • Low-transaction businesses
  • Non-VAT registered entities

These businesses typically operate with straightforward income streams and limited administrative complexity.

Focus Areas Include:

• Annual tax returns
  • Expense reporting
  • Basic bookkeeping

This level of support ensures tax filings remain compliant while maintaining affordability for smaller operations.

However, advisory depth and forecasting capabilities remain limited.

Full-Service Accounting Packages

Full-service accounting packages provide integrated financial management across compliance, reporting, and strategic advisory functions.

They operate as outsourced finance departments rather than compliance-only providers.

Best Suited For:

• Limited companies
  • VAT-registered firms
  • Employers
  • Scaling SMEs

These businesses require continuous financial oversight due to workforce, tax, and reporting complexity.

Includes:

• Ongoing bookkeeping
  • VAT compliance
  • Payroll
  • Tax planning
  • Financial reporting

Higher cost — but significantly greater financial oversight, tax efficiency, and decision-making insight.

For scaling businesses, full-service packages often generate financial value exceeding their cost through proactive planning and liability optimisation.

Technology Integration Within Our Accounting Packages

All Audit Consulting Group accounting packages are delivered through cloud-based, Making Tax Digital–compliant accounting systems.

Digital infrastructure now sits at the core of modern accounting service delivery.

We utilise leading platforms including:

• Xero
  • QuickBooks Online
  • FreeAgent
  • Sage

Each platform is fully compliant with HMRC digital submission requirements and supports automated financial reporting workflows.

Why Cloud Accounting Matters

Cloud accounting software enables both accountants and business owners to access live financial data securely from any location.

This creates a collaborative reporting environment where financial decisions can be made using real-time information rather than retrospective reports.

Technology Benefits Included

Our digital accounting infrastructure enables:

• Automated bank feeds
  • Real-time profit reporting
  • Digital receipt capture
  • VAT submission automation
  • MTD Income Tax compliance
  • Secure document sharing

Automation & Efficiency Gains

Automation reduces manual bookkeeping requirements while improving reporting accuracy.

Key benefits include:

• Faster reconciliations
• Reduced human error
• Improved audit trails
• Enhanced data security

This technological integration improves service efficiency while maintaining predictable package pricing.

Making Tax Digital & Package Structuring

With Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment mandatory from April 2026, digital reporting is now central to accounting service delivery.

HMRC requires taxpayers within scope to maintain digital records and submit quarterly income updates via MTD-compatible platforms.

Our MTD-Ready Accounting Packages Include:

• MTD-compatible software setup
  • Quarterly reporting support
  • Digital record maintenance
  • Compliance monitoring

We ensure all financial data is structured, stored, and submitted in accordance with HMRC’s evolving digital reporting framework.

Future-Proof Compliance Infrastructure

By embedding MTD readiness within all accounting packages, clients remain protected against:

• Non-compliance penalties
• Late submission fines
• Digital record-keeping breaches

This ensures businesses remain aligned with current and future HMRC reporting mandates without requiring system overhauls later.

How Much Do Accounting Packages Cost in the UK?

One of the most common questions businesses ask when comparing accounting packages UK is refreshingly straightforward:

How much should accounting services actually cost?

While pricing varies depending on business structure, reporting obligations, and transaction complexity, understanding typical market ranges helps organisations budget effectively and avoid overpaying for compliance support.

Accounting packages are generally priced using fixed monthly fee models, allowing businesses to spread costs predictably across the financial year while receiving continuous compliance oversight.

Average Accounting Package Costs (UK – 2026)

Typical UK accounting package costs in 2026 fall within the following ranges:

Business Type	Monthly Cost	Annual Equivalent
Sole traders	£40 – £100	£480 – £1,200
Small limited companies	£80 – £160	£960 – £1,920
VAT-registered SMEs	£160 – £300	£1,920 – £3,600
CIS contractors	£100 – £200	£1,200 – £2,400

These figures reflect fixed-fee accounting packages that typically include core compliance services such as statutory filings, tax return preparation, and reporting support.

Actual costs may vary depending on industry sector, reporting frequency, and operational scale.

What Influences Accounting Package Pricing?

Accounting fees increase where businesses require expanded service coverage or higher reporting frequency.

Key cost drivers include:

• Payroll processing
  • VAT returns
  • Multi-currency accounting
  • Advisory and forecasting
  • Management reporting

For example, a VAT-registered company employing staff and trading internationally will require significantly more accountant involvement than a non-VAT sole trader.

Fixed Fee vs Hourly Accounting Costs

Most UK businesses now prefer fixed monthly accounting packages rather than hourly billing structures.

Fixed pricing offers:

• Budget certainty
• Transparent service scope
• Continuous compliance monitoring
• Advisory access throughout the year

This pricing model aligns accountant support with business operations rather than retrospective year-end interventions.

How to Choose the Right Accounting Package

Selecting the right accounting services package depends on operational complexity rather than turnover alone.

While revenue provides a general indicator, compliance scope and reporting requirements are more accurate determinants of package suitability.

Choosing the correct tier ensures businesses receive sufficient financial oversight without incurring unnecessary service costs.

Key Decision Factors

When assessing which accounting package is most appropriate, businesses should evaluate the following:

1. Business Structure

Legal structure directly determines statutory reporting obligations.

• Sole traders → Simple compliance packages
  • Limited companies → Corporate reporting packages
  • Contractors → CIS-specific packages

Incorporated entities require dual reporting to HMRC and Companies House, increasing compliance workload.

2. VAT Registration

VAT registration significantly expands reporting frequency and complexity.

VAT-registered businesses require:

• Quarterly VAT returns
  • VAT scheme advisory
  • Digital submission compliance

Cross-border trading or reverse charge VAT obligations may introduce further reporting layers.

VAT registration typically moves businesses from simple accounting packages into growth-tier service structures.

3. Payroll Requirements

Hiring employees introduces real-time reporting obligations under PAYE frameworks.

Payroll compliance includes:

• PAYE reporting
  • RTI submissions
  • National Insurance calculations
  • Pension auto-enrolment compliance

Payroll complexity directly affects package level, particularly where multiple employees or directors are involved.

4. Growth Plans

Forward-looking businesses often require advisory support beyond compliance reporting.

Scaling organisations benefit from:

• Management accounts
  • Tax forecasting
  • Financial review calls

These services provide strategic financial insight, enabling directors to make informed decisions around hiring, pricing, and expansion.

Matching Packages to Growth Stages

In practical terms:

• Early-stage businesses benefit from compliance-focused packages.
• Scaling SMEs require integrated reporting and payroll support.
• Mature companies require full financial oversight and advisory.

Selecting the right tier ensures accounting infrastructure evolves alongside operational growth.

Includes VAT returns, payroll, statutory accounts, and tax planning.

Scenario 2 – Freelance Consultant

Tax Savings Insights

Businesses switching from ad-hoc accounting support to structured monthly accounting packages often achieve measurable financial and operational improvements.

While compliance-only accounting focuses on historical reporting, structured accounting packages introduce proactive tax planning, forward-looking forecasting, and continuous expense monitoring — all of which contribute to improved financial efficiency.

By reviewing financial data regularly rather than retrospectively, accountants can identify optimisation opportunities throughout the tax year rather than after liabilities have crystallised.

Typical Financial Outcomes

Clients transitioning to fixed-fee accounting packages frequently experience tangible financial gains, including:

• 12–18% reduction in tax liabilities
  Through proactive planning, allowable expense identification, and profit extraction structuring.
• Improved expense capture
  Digital bookkeeping systems ensure all deductible costs are recorded, categorised, and claimed correctly.
• Dividend optimisation
  Directors benefit from structured remuneration strategies balancing salary and dividend withdrawals tax-efficiently.
• VAT scheme efficiency
  Selecting the most appropriate VAT scheme — such as Flat Rate or Standard Accounting — can reduce payable VAT exposure.

Beyond Tax Reduction

In addition to direct tax savings, structured accounting support often delivers wider financial benefits, including:

• Improved cash flow forecasting
• Reduced penalty exposure
• Accurate liability planning
• Better investment timing decisions

These cumulative efficiencies frequently generate financial value exceeding the cost of monthly accounting packages.

Cost vs Value Perspective

When evaluated purely on price, accounting packages may appear as operational overhead.

However, when assessed through a value lens — including tax savings, risk reduction, and financial optimisation — proactive accounting support becomes a revenue-protecting investment rather than an expense.

Proactive planning delivered through fixed-fee accountants frequently offsets service costs entirely.

Individual financial outcomes vary based on business model, turnover, and reporting complexity.

Client Testimonials

Laura M., E-Commerce Founde

Internal Service Integration

Our accounting packages are not delivered in isolation.

Instead, they operate as part of a fully integrated financial support ecosystem — allowing businesses to access specialist expertise without engaging multiple providers.

This joined-up service structure ensures financial reporting, tax planning, compliance, and advisory functions operate cohesively rather than as disconnected services.

Specialist Services Integrated Within Our Accounting Packages

Our accounting packages integrate seamlessly with complementary financial and tax services, including:

• VAT advisory
  • Payroll services
  • Company formation
  • Tax planning
  • R&D tax relief

This integrated structure ensures businesses receive consistent financial oversight across all compliance and strategic planning areas.

Why Integration Matters

When accounting services operate independently from tax advisory or payroll processing, businesses often encounter:

• Reporting inconsistencies
• Delayed tax optimisation opportunities
• Compliance gaps
• Duplicated administrative work

By integrating these services under a single provider, financial data flows seamlessly across reporting functions — improving both accuracy and efficiency.

Example of Integrated Support

For instance:

A newly incorporated company may require:

• Company formation
• VAT registration
• Payroll setup
• Corporation Tax structuring

Delivering these services within one integrated accounting package ensures regulatory alignment from day one.

Why Fixed Fee Accounting Packages Deliver Better Value

Fixed fee accounting has become the dominant pricing structure across the UK accounting industry — particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises seeking cost certainty.

Unlike hourly billing models, fixed fee accountants align pricing with service scope rather than time spent — creating predictable, scalable cost structures.

Financial & Operational Benefits

Fixed fee accounting packages deliver multiple advantages, including:

• Budget certainty
  • No hourly billing surprises
  • Continuous compliance monitoring
  • Advisory included within packages

Businesses can therefore plan operational expenditure confidently without exposure to fluctuating accounting costs.

Strategic Value Beyond Compliance

Because fixed fee structures incentivise proactive engagement rather than reactive billing, accountants can focus on:

• Tax optimisation
• Financial forecasting
• Growth advisory
• Cash flow planning

This proactive involvement often produces financial efficiencies exceeding package costs.

Preferred Model for UK SMEs

This pricing framework has become the preferred structure for:

• Small business accountant UK support
• Outsourced accounting UK partnerships
• Scaling SME finance functions

Businesses increasingly value predictable monthly support over retrospective annual interventions.
