What would your accounting cost each month?
Choose how much you want to hand over, answer a few quick questions, and see an indicative fee with the workings behind every line. It covers self-employed people and limited companies in Malta. Looking for management accounts and advisory support? That is priced individually, see below.
Need advice on the numbers, not just the filing?
Management accounts and advisory support isn't in the calculator, because no two engagements are alike. The fee depends on how involved you need me to be, the number of companies, the state of the books and what you want to achieve. Tell me where the business stands and I'll propose a fixed monthly retainer, with KPIs set for your business and industry.

Entries are the lines that have to be recorded: your invoices and bills, plus the matching bank lines if there is a bank account to reconcile. The rate per entry falls as volume grows, because the work becomes repetitive.
- Compliance only: the minimum is one quarterly VAT return (€200). The income tax return is prepared from the records you keep; if you'd like me to prepare the annual accounts as well, that is part of bookkeeping + compliance.
- Bookkeeping + compliance: minimum monthly fee €150 for the self-employed, €250 for a limited company.
- Management accounts packages start from €500 a month, all bookkeeping included.
- The statutory audit is excluded and invoiced by the auditor.
- Catch-up work on books that are behind is €50 an hour, estimated first.
