Fees and what is included

Every file is different, so we do not charge everyone the same. This page explains what each service includes, what changes the fee, and when the fee is confirmed.

How our fees work

  • We tell you the fee before we start. If the work turns out to be different from what we discussed, we talk to you before going further.
  • Fees depend on the work involved: how many slips, schedules, years or transactions, and how organised the records are.
  • Government and third-party charges, such as Indian PAN application fees, are separate from our fee.

Call us with a short description of what you need, and we will tell you the fee before any work starts.
