Will publishing prices attract cheapskates?

It does the opposite. Hidden prices attract the fee-hagglers, because everything is a negotiation. Published packages anchor the conversation, filter clients who were never going to pay properly, and win the growing group who shortlist by comparing websites at 10pm. You keep bespoke quoting for genuinely complex work.

We already use Xero and a practice manager. What is missing?

Usually the joins. The proposal tool does not talk to the engagement letter, the AML check is a separate manual step, and the direct debit mandate goes out days later by hand. We wire the chain end to end so accepting a proposal triggers everything else, and the partner only sees exceptions.

Does moving existing clients to fixed fees cause fallout?

Handled bluntly, yes. Handled properly, very little: new clients go straight onto packages, existing clients migrate at their next natural renewal with a clear letter showing what they get, and the handful of unprofitable legacy arrangements either reprice or politely leave. Both outcomes improve the practice.

Is this worth it for a bookkeeping practice rather than a full firm?

Yes, arguably more. Bookkeeping is inherently recurring, so monthly direct debit packages fit naturally, and the onboarding automation matters because bookkeepers win smaller clients in higher volumes. The same chain, engagement letter to mandate, just runs more often.

Accountants and bookkeepers

Sell packages, not hours. Onboard in minutes, not weeks.

Small practices still bill in arrears and onboard by email ping-pong, which caps growth and makes January a cliff. We help you design fixed-fee packages with prices on the website, and automate the chain that follows: engagement letter, AML checks, clearance letter, direct debit mandate, welcome email. Signed to onboarded without a single chased attachment.

Sound familiar?

The problems we keep seeing.

Practices come to us efficient at the work and inefficient at everything around winning and starting it.

Hourly billing punishes your own efficiency
Fees are a surprise, and clients hate surprises more than high bills
Onboarding a new client takes weeks of chased emails
No prices on the website, so comparison shoppers move on
Revenue arrives in lumps around deadlines instead of monthly
You serve everyone, so you are the obvious choice for no one

What we build

Fixed-scope fixes, priced up front.

Each of these is a defined piece of work with a clear price and a clear finish line, not an open-ended retainer. Start with the one that hurts most.
