Our Fees
 

We feel it is important to let you understand how we determine our fees.

The accountancy profession is deregulated and hence, there are no set scales of fees for work undertaken by Certified Practice Accountants. The market place determines rates, ensuring that fees remain competitive, which is an advantage for potential users of accounting services. You will find that our fees are based on a reasonable fee-for-time basis. In other words, you only pay for the time actually spent completing your work.

At ATP Group we have a great team of people trained to complete any accounting or taxation work you require. We always choose a team member that has the appropriate knowledge and skill level to accurately complete the job at a cost that is most efficient for you.

It is normal for us to have a graduate or intermediate accountant to do the bulk of the work and then have a manager review their work. We find this is very effective in keeping the costs to a minimum. We have very good quality control systems in place so you are assured that your work is as accurate as possible before it reaches you. Higher level work will be done by myself or another senior accountant and will be charged accordingly.

RATES

  • Each team member has a charge out rate based on their knowledge and experience.
  • The hourly charge out rates of the team vary from graduates at $80 to managers/partners $320. Our average rate per hour is around $150

QUOTES

  • It is difficult for us to accurately quote on jobs as we cannot be certain about the time it may take, however we will inform you when we feel the job is going to exceed our original quote.

BILLING FREQUENCY

  • It is our policy to bill regularly if we are doing regular work for you. This eases cash flow for both of us.
  • If we are unable to complete the work required due to a hold up on your behalf, we will bill you for work done to date.
  • If we are working on a large assignment that will span several months, we will bill you monthly.

CREDIT POLICY

  • We extend a 14 day period from the date of invoice within which our clients must settle their fees.
  • As with any business, collecting our debts is vital to our survival so we do appreciate payment within that time.
  • We offer Bankcard, Mastercard or Visa facilities.
