Why the price difference between backlog and Essential and Grow Plans?

Two services, two jobs. Backlog Accounting is a one-time clean-up: we fix your past books and file corporate tax for a year that's already closed. Fixed scope, so it ends when the work is done. The monthly plans are a living service that keeps you compliant every month of the year, so there's more inside them:

  • VAT isn't in the backlog. Retrospective covers corporate-tax clean-up only. VAT Advisory, computation and quarterly filing are part of the monthly plans.
  • One closed period vs. the whole year. The backlog fee settles a single past year. Monthly keeps you compliant across all twelve months, advisory included.
  • You stay covered as the rules move. Monthly includes FTA updates, VAT-applicability checks whenever your business changes, and open query with your accountant.

What each service actually covers
