Accountant setting up in Leigh Lancashire needs help in setting prices

Hi Catherine,

I work for a National Insurance company and we as a company like to work with Accountants as we can offer a reciprical on business referrals and so would be interested to know if you have a strategy in place for this sort of thing.

My base office is Stockport but I am originally from Platt Bridge Wigan and so a lot of our referrals will be between theses two places.... I did however get contacted by an accountant on Facebook asking If I wanted my books looking at? Here is their prices - they are based in Rochdale me thinks

If you we could interest you a free quote for accountancy and taxation services

Our guide prices are:

Monthly bookkeeping and vat return from £25
Sole trader accounts £100
Ltd Company accounts £200
Self assessment tax return £75
All fees are subject to vat

Unfortunately I think the prices may have altered when we told him that our company turnover over £600 million!! But still the offer was there and I suppose having someone in the know that you can refer to is a valuable part of networking!

Thanks

Steve

Steve,

What a bargain! £25 per month for book-keeping for a £600m t/o company!

Makes a mockery of these online one for all quotes!

I also think it the old saying be prepared is a lot more evident.

They contacted me with the idea of selling their services without researching who we were, that to me is not the best way of offering your services. I work in Insurance and we tailor our policies and our prices around the customer and what they do and so most of our job is researching and fact finding and I think more and more businesses need to do this in order to be successful as I think the company that approached me didnt seem to be as interested when charging so little.. LOL
