Pricing

Affordable accounting. Transparent pricing.

No hidden fees, no surprise invoices. Below are our real starting prices — so you know exactly what to expect before you get in touch.

We believe professional accounting support should be accessible to businesses of all sizes. Our plans are designed around your actual requirements rather than forcing you into services you don't need.

Prices shown are indicative starting prices and may vary depending on the nature, complexity, transaction volume and scope of services required. Any applicable third-party, government or registration fees are additional where relevant. Contact us for a customised quote.

Common questions

How much does an accountant cost in Melbourne?

A quick guide to accounting and bookkeeping fees, so you can compare with confidence.

How much does an accountant cost?

Individual tax returns typically start from $120, while ongoing bookkeeping starts from $55/week. Company tax returns start from $550. Final pricing depends on complexity, transaction volume and the records you provide — we always confirm a fixed quote before starting work.

What makes an accountant "affordable" without cutting corners?

Cloud-based workflows (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks), clear scoped packages and no unnecessary services. You pay for what your business actually needs.

Is a cheaper accountant a lower-quality accountant?

Not necessarily. Lower overheads and efficient cloud-based processes let us offer competitive pricing without cutting corners on accuracy or compliance.

Do you offer fixed-price packages?

Yes — our Starter, Growth and Business Plus packages bundle bookkeeping, payroll and BAS support into a predictable monthly cost, with custom packages available for more complex needs.

Long-term partnership

More than an accountant. Your long-term business partner.

We believe great accounting relationships are built over time. As your business changes, your accounting requirements change too — that's why we aim to become a reliable long-term partner rather than simply another service provider. You get consistent support, practical communication and professionals who understand your business.
