Who it is for
Businesses that are growing, getting more complex or simply want more than a once a year conversation with their accountant. If you want to stay on top of things rather than react to them, Insights is the right fit.
What you get out of it
We do not just report on what has happened. We help you understand it, plan around it and use it to make better decisions.
How it is priced
Quoted after a conversation about your business and what you need. Billed monthly by Direct Debit.
Whatever the figure lands at, you agree it before any work starts, and it does not move without a conversation. If the scope changes because your business changes, we tell you what that means for the fee before we do the work, not after.
Questions about this
How does eba bill?
Monthly by Direct Debit. Ongoing packages are spread across twelve payments rather than arriving as one bill after the year end, which makes the cost predictable and keeps it in your cash flow rather than out of it. Specialist eba Plus work is quoted as a fixed fee per engagement and agreed before the work begins. eba does not bill in surprise time units for phone calls.
Will I get charged every time I ring with a question?
No. Day to day queries are part of your package. eba takes the view that an accountant you are afraid to ring is not much use, and that the questions clients hesitate over are usually the ones worth catching early. If a question turns into a genuine piece of specialist work, for example a restructuring exercise or a detailed tax planning report, that is scoped and quoted separately, and you agree the fee before it starts.
How do I switch accountants to eba?
Switching takes one form from you and around two to four weeks of work at our end. You tell your current accountant you are leaving, eba writes to them for professional clearance and requests your records, and we handle the HMRC agent authorisations and Companies House changes. You do not need to have an awkward conversation about why, and you do not need to wait for a year end. Most clients underestimate how straightforward it is.
