Accountant fees: how we think about pricing

Running a company involves predictable accounting, tax, payroll and legal work every year. We know this from day one, as part of our accounting support — which is why we've chosen to bring it together, as far as possible, into a single monthly accounting package.

What does our accounting package include?

📊

Accounting

Bookkeeping, annual accounts, summary report

🧾

Taxation

VAT, tax return, business property tax (CFE), DAS2

🧍

RH Management

Filings and support for the company director

⚖️

Legal

AGM minutes, filing of accounts

To compare chartered accountant fees, it helps to look beyond the monthly amount alone and check the actual scope of the engagement, as well as its total cost over the year.

Annual tax return, approval and filing of accounts... rather than a one-off invoice when each deadline falls due, their cost is spread evenly across your monthly instalment.

With a comparable profile — same number of partners, same number of employees — two companies can still have a different fee. Three factors explain this:

📈

Business volume

The number of entries, bank transactions and invoices to process each month, beyond headcount alone.

🌱

Company maturity

A business established for several years often generates more transactions — and more demanding requirements — than at the time of a recent hire.

🔍

Sensitivity of transactions

Some activities involve numerous transactions or high unit values, which require particularly precise bookkeeping.

Frequently asked questions about chartered accountant fees

How much does a chartered accountant cost for a small or mid-sized business?

The price of a chartered accountant depends on the business volume, the legal structure and the nature of the company being supported. Our all-inclusive monthly packages generally range from €220 to €1,000 excl. VAT per month — see our fee examples by activity above.

What does an Ec'R accounting package include?

Each accounting package brings together bookkeeping, tax and payroll filings, as well as the ongoing legal follow-up of your company (AGM minutes, filing of accounts). Full detail on our accounting services, by legal structure, is set out in the fee tables below.

Why do chartered accountant fees vary from one business to another?

With a comparable profile, the fee mainly depends on business volume, company maturity and the sensitivity of the transactions to be processed — see the detail of these factors above.

How do I compare the fees of several chartered accountants?

It helps to look beyond the monthly amount alone and check the scope of the engagement as well as its total cost over the year. A proposal can be entirely valid with a different scope from ours; the key is to compare like-for-like scopes.

Does the monthly package include the annual tax return and filing of accounts?

Yes: depending on your legal structure (BNC, EURL or SASU), the annual tax return, approval and filing of accounts with the Registry are included in the monthly package — see the detail in the fee tables above.

What if I have a one-off need outside the package?

One-off engagements (hiring, contract termination, business sale...) fall outside day-to-day accounting support. Their fee is stated upfront, above, for each legal structure.
