We keep your books, priced on what you spend each month.
From €24/mo if you are self-employed, from €49/mo for a company, up to €549/mo at the top band — each including one bank account. Nine bands, every one priced instantly — and there is no software-only plan, a qualified accountant is on the file either way. VAT, audit, tax and company formation are priced separately below, on your transaction volume. Months we have to go back and do cost the same as a month going forward — no catch-up premium, and no cap.
All fees exclude VAT. Government and registry fees are passed through at cost.

Advisory
Corporatetax
Quoted after a quick review of your structure and filings.
Each proposal lists your services, volumes, reporting periods, fee and responsibilities before work begins. Bookkeeping entry prices cover the stated bookkeeping scope. VAT, payroll, tax, statutory accounts, corporate services and audit are included only when listed in your proposal.
01
Monthly bookkeeping
Document capture, coding and posting, one bank account reconciled, and accountant review. Your quote reflects monthly spend, additional bank accounts and the start month. Onboarding, opening balances and catch-up work are confirmed before acceptance.
Agree a monthly close with reconciliations and accountant review, monthly or quarterly management reports, and any year-end GAPSME or IFRS statements required. Your proposal sets the reporting frequency and deliverables.
A written gap report, prioritised remediation plan, reconciliations and supporting schedules, policy and disclosure review, and a referenced pack for your auditor. Agree the period and balances covered. The independent audit is a separate engagement.
The accepted engagement sets the financial period, reporting framework, appointed audit firm and fee. Agree planning, fieldwork, disclosure review, the auditor’s report, management letter and filing support. Where A4 keeps the books, a separate partner audit firm performs the audit.
Provide complete records and respond to queries within the agreed timetable. Taxes, registry fees, third-party fees and additional work are identified separately in the proposal. Changes to scope are agreed before additional work begins. Monthly retainers are billed monthly with a 12-month minimum; all fees exclude VAT.
The price you see is the price we invoice — itemised, and never gated behind an email.
All fees exclude VAT.

Are these a company's books, or your own?
Malta limited companies. Everything above, kept to the standard a Malta company's statutory filings need: coded and reconciled monthly, ready for the VAT return, the annual accounts and the tax return without a year-end scramble.

About how much do you spend a month?
The money that leaves the business in a typical month. It sets your bookkeeping price — a rough figure is fine.What counts as spend?
Supplier bills, wages, rent, software — everything you spend. Excludes VAT, loan repayments, and transfers between your own accounts. New or seasonal? Use your last three months' average. It is not the transaction count the VAT and audit tabs ask for.
Pick a band and we price this instantly — we do not assume one for you.
03
About how many transactions a month?
The count, not the amount. Busy bands add to the bookkeeping fee — the two lowest add nothing.
04
Bank accounts
Every account is reconciled separately. The first is included in the bookkeeping fee; each extra account is €40 a month plus 15% of the bookkeeping fee.

From €24/mo if you are self-employed, from €49/mo for a company, set by what you spend each month. We keep the books — there is no software-only plan. All fees exclude VAT.
