A quote based on the work you need
Accounting costs depend on the services, reporting periods and records involved. A useful quote starts with those facts. Tell Goodwill Accounting whether you need a single return, a defined catch-up project or recurring support.
This page explains the quote process. Numerical package prices have not been published here. Request a quote for your actual needs and check the scope before work begins. Our guide to accountant costs in Glasgow helps you compare offers.

What affects the work?
| Factor | What to tell us |
|---|---|
| Business structure | Sole trader, limited company or the personal return you need. |
| Volume | Approximate transactions, bank accounts, employees or income sources. |
| Record condition | What is complete, missing or waiting for reconciliation. |
| Frequency | One period, monthly support, quarterly work or annual preparation. |
| Complexity | Unusual transactions, overseas activity or earlier periods requiring attention. |
| Existing support | Software and tasks already handled by you or another provider. |
A quote based on complete records should not be compared directly with a quote that includes repairing several earlier periods. Give each provider the same brief. If the required work changes, ask how any fee change will be agreed.

Identify each service in the quote
For a company, check whether annual accounts and Corporation Tax work are both included. Ask about the director’s personal return separately if it is needed.
For regular support, identify the bookkeeping frequency and the condition in which records must be supplied. Payroll, VAT returns, software licences and older periods should be named where they are part of the service.
- Which services, periods and submissions are included?
- Which work or advice is charged separately?
- Who pays for software and retains access?
- When are invoices due and what payment arrangements apply?
- How are additional tasks agreed before work begins?
- Does the stated fee include VAT where applicable?

Prepare a quote request
Write a short description of your business and the immediate task. Include the period, records, software and any approaching deadline. Exact tax references and private documents are not needed for an initial price discussion.
If your records are incomplete, explain the gaps. If you are changing accountant, describe which work has been completed and which remains outstanding. That makes it easier to separate the transfer from ongoing support.
