Charging Methods: • Fixed Fees We can agree a fixed fee with you from inception, so you know exactly how much our services will cost so there are no surprises, any extra unforeseen work would also be agreed in advance. • Variable Fees Still the most common method of invoicing where we charge on time spent at different staff rates. This method allows us to be flexible and look into tax saving measures if we feel they are appropriate in the circumstances. • Fixed/Variable Combination This is not the norm but would be available if desired. Payment Options: • We use an independent user-friendly finance company, trading as Associated Credits Ltd Associated Credits, for a small upfront documentation fee, will enable you to pay our fees over a period of 10 months in equal instalments, apart from the first month which will contain the documentation fee. Many of our clients like this system because it clearly helps their cash flow.  The interest rate is nominal, and we find that the clients who use this scheme continue to use it. • Payment plan by Standing Order Should you wish, a monthly standing order can be set up for a payment period ranging between 4 to 12 months.  This will start from inception and will cover our service to yourselves over the  required period. • Payment on Invoice We normally charge for work as and when a specific amount of work has been completed, rather than just charging for work in progress.  An example of this would be for Tax Return work when there are Accounts involved, or for a Business Plan or for some specific work which otherwise would be included in the overall charge at a later date.
