How much does an online accountant cost in the UK?
Short answer
Online accountants for sole traders typically charge £30–£80 a month; limited companies usually pay £80–£250 a month including year-end accounts, depending on turnover and services.
Detailed answer
Check what the package includes
A monthly price may cover only basic accounts and a tax return, or it may include bookkeeping, payroll and ongoing advice. The quoted ranges are illustrations rather than confirmed market averages. Transaction limits, VAT registration, multiple directors and backlog work can change the cost materially.
Compare deliverables
Ask whether software, confirmation statements, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax returns and support for queries are included. Check cancellation terms and who owns the accounting file. Provide enough information about turnover, employees and transaction volume for a meaningful quote, and agree how additional work will be authorised.
