At A4, managed bookkeeping starts from €24 a month for a self-employed person and €49 a month for a company at up to €10,000 of monthly expenses, including one bank account, covering transaction recording, reconciliations, and basic financial maintenance. The fee rises with monthly spend to €339 (self-employed) or €549 (company) above €500,000 a month; transaction volume adds €0 to €140 a month, each additional bank account is priced at €40 plus 15% of the monthly bookkeeping fee (the first is included), and payroll (€12 per person) and VAT returns (from €19 a month) are priced as separate lines. All fees exclude VAT.
Key factors include the number of monthly transactions, the volume of sales and purchase invoices, payroll requirements, VAT obligations, industry complexity, frequency of reporting, use of cloud accounting systems, and the level of advisory or operational support included.
No. While bookkeeping supports compliance, it forms the financial foundation of the business. Accurate records affect VAT submissions, management accounts, tax filings, cash flow visibility, audits, and overall decision-making, so it should not be viewed simply as data entry.
Not really. The right setup depends less on company size alone and more on the actual operational activity of the business. A self-employed consultant with minimal transactions will usually require far less ongoing work than a trading company managing inventory, suppliers, employees, and multiple reporting obligations.
