Price indicator

Your service package is built with you and for you. It will change as your needs change and we will review it with you every year.

Whether you’re looking for your first accountant or contemplating a change, it’s useful to have a rough idea of fees. We’d always recommend getting a few quotes. Just make sure you’re comparing like-for-like.

With Composure, you work with a human, not a bot. You can pick up the phone or you can come in and see us. Our qualified bookkeepers, accountants and tax advisers work as a team, side by side in the U.K.

Select the organisational structure that best matches your business for an idea of our indicative annual pricing. We work with all sorts of businesses so please get in touch if you’re not sure where you fit into our indicative fees.
