A clear agreement from the start
A package is a starting point, not unlimited work. We agree the volumes, responsibilities and service limits before you commit.
Your proposal sets the transaction volume, bank accounts, entities and record-keeping requirements covered. Catch-up work and incomplete historic records are assessed separately.
We confirm the employee count, payroll frequency, VAT periods and submissions included. Payroll and EMP201 in this table do not automatically mean every standalone Payroll Complete service is included.
Your proposal identifies the software subscription covered and any additional licences or apps. Annual statements and company tax work are allocated to the agreed financial year; historic years and take-on work are separately scoped.
We agree meeting duration, reporting requirements and advisory support. Additional work, changes in volume and any revised fee are confirmed before proceeding. Existing clients’ fees remain governed by their signed agreements.
Billing and terms: Monthly services are billed in advance. Once-off work follows the accepted proposal. Setup, catch-up work and additional services are quoted separately where required. Your agreement confirms review arrangements and notice terms. See our Refund Policy, Cancellation Policy and delivery timelines.
