OUR FEE & SETTING UP A DIRECTDEBIT. 7.1The subject of accounting fees is obviously of interest both to us and to you.You as a client want to feel you are getting your money’s worth for the fee youpay, and we must have fees that are adequate to enable us to give a goodservice.  Thefee we have quoted here is purely based on the information supplied from yourend. If you have provided incorrect information, you are most likely to get anincorrect quote.  Inmuch of the work we do, we are reasonably able to predict how much time itshould take, and are willing to make a firm estimate of this fee in advance.Often it is impossible to predict all the problems we are likely to encounteron the job. Hence, we will let you know at the end how much time we have spent.In some cases, where the fee estimate was completely/materially incorrect, thenwe will update you. e.g if we said it will take 20 hours to complete the joband when we started work , we realised it will take 150 hours, we will informyou of material change. Thefee we have agreed is based on the assumption that the payment will be made bysetting up the direct debit on the link above. Where a direct debit is notsetup by a customer/client, we will charge 10% fee on top of the agreed fee. Therefore,to avoid any confusion in relation to the fee, it is necessary to setup thedirect debit. If you do not have our details, please request us.  Ourfee must be paid in advance for all the work that we are doing. In some cases,we may show leniency but in majority of the cases it must be paid in advance. 7.2Our fees are based on the time necessarily spent on your affairs by thepartners and staff involved. Some clients are billed at agreed intervals, andour settlement terms are as follows: a)Our fee/invoice must be settled within 7-10 days of the invoice date or asmentioned on the invoice, or before the accounts due date (where applicable).If the accounts due date is before the invoice due date, the accounts due datewill be considered as invoice due date. If the 10 day period is exceeded theyare deemed overdue. If you are paying on a monthly basis, you will be invoicedon the 1st of each month and you will be paying one month in advance. b) Iffees are not settled within the due date from the fee note date, on the 7th or11th day ( or soon after the due date) the service charges will be charged at aminimum of 3% per month from the date they became overdue, or as it is writtenon the invoice whichever is higher. Whilst any amounts are outstanding, ourfirm reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend the provision ofall services, including services provided that are covered by separate terms ofengagement. Where services are suspended all obligations attached to our firmunder all terms of engagement are also suspended and no liability is acceptedfor consequential losses, late filing penalties, interest or other charges. c)All fee notes/invoice shall be deemed conclusive of the sums due and payable toyou under them and may not be challenged other than in writing within 10 daysof your receiving the disputed fee note concerned. d)Where you are unable to pay the invoice on the due date, we haveauthority/right to refer your case to debt collectors or legal team; you willbe responsible to pay service charges, administration fee, debt collector’s fee( a minimum of 20% to 50% of the outstanding amount, could increase, depends onthe age & value of the debt/invoice) and any other legal fee that mayincur. In the event of non-payment of our fees for services rendered, we mayexercise a particular right of lien over the books and records in ourpossession and withhold the documents until such time as payment of our fees isreceived in full. e)Our fee is calculated as per the as per the accounting year of the company (forlimited companies). Say your company is setup in January and your year end isin December, and we have agreed a fee of £500 plus VAT. The fee will cover theperiod from January to December. Ifyou join us during the year, the fee for the previous months will be charged.E.g, if you are a contractor/business and your accounting year runs fromJanuary to December, Say, you joined us in the beginning of July and we haveagreed a fee of £100 per month, it means your yearly fee will be £1200 a year (from January to December)..Where either you will pay us six months in advancefrom January to June, or we will charge you £200 from July to December to coverthe previous 6 months fee. And from the next January you will start paying 100every month. Whenyou join during the year, or after the year, we have to do all the previousaccounts & tax returns hence the above is applicable. If you are acontractor and lose your contract during the year, our fee will still becharged as we have to do the accounts for the whole year. Where you decide notto pay because of lack of funds, we may freeze the services and invoice you onpay as you go basis as per our fee schedule; therefore it is yourresponsibility to confirm with us about pay as you go fee as it may be morethan the contractor’s fee agreed in advance. f)For one-off tasks, you will be requested to pay 100% in advance. But in somecased where the amount/fee is higher than £5,000, we will request 50% inadvance to start the work and 50% before filing/submission. We do have theright to hold the submission where the fee is not paid in full and will take noresponsibility for the late filing penalties. Where the one-off task involvesundertaking work for the company or business accounting period gone, we reservethe right to charge for the full amount upfront. So, for example, if you joinus in June 2018 and the company accounts are made up to end of May 2018, wewould charge for the whole year up front.’ if you are in your first year with us and leavepart way through, our firm reserves the right to charge for the remainder ofthe full year’s fees’. This applies to both one-off tasks and our monthly fixedfee packages.g)Regarding our fee, the direct debit has to be set up on the following linkwithin 7 days of signing this agreement. Where direct debit is not set up bythe client in 7days, I authorise Our firm to arrange a direct debit in placeusing my bank detail anytime and has right to collect the outstanding paymentfrom my business/personal bank account ,credit or debit card information ourfirm hold without notifying to me/client.  7.3We enter into a trusting relationship. The director/business owner instructs usknowing their ability to meet our fees. If the Company/business is unable topay our fees incurred from time to time for whatever reason, thedirectors/business owner personally accepts the liability for our charges. Itis the responsibility of the director/business owner who is signing thisagreement, to inform a new director (where the company is sold, transferred tosome family members, etc.) about this clause that the new director/businessowner will be personally liable for our fee. Moreover, Directors/business owner(existing, new) will be personally liable for any debt they owe to our firm inany case, even where the company/business is liquidated or has been struck off.We have full right to take legal action against the director/businesspersonally, for the outstanding fee. 7.4Should you leave during the year; you will be charged £150.00 plus VAT per hourfor all the services carried out during our engagement including the initialmeetings. This is usually applicable to those who do not pay on a monthlybasis. 7.5This Letter of engagement will be renewed automatically every year unless it isrequested by the client. Should you want to leave Our firm for some reason,kindly inform us 28 days before leaving in writing; The entire outstandinginvoice must be clear before you leave. 7.6)Our fee is usually based on the turnover & work involved. We /our systemwill provide you a quotation based on your requirement and the information thatyou have supplied to us. If your turnover goes up during the year, or you donot provide us information in the same format as agreed at the beginning, itmeans you will fall into a different band. Therefore, we will send you aninvoice for the additional turnover & work involved. e.g, If you say yourturnover is £10K a year, and you will provide us information on a software, itis implied we will quote you as per the information supplied. If the year end,your turnover is more than £50K or information is not supplied on a software,we do have right to charge you according to our fee schedule. Therefore, it isyour responsibility to supply us the correct information at the beginning toget an exact quote, and to inform us during the year where your circumstancesare changed. Ifyou need any additional services (besides what you are agreeing/signing) duringthe year, the same terms will automatically be applied to you and we may notask you to sign a new agreement to save time. 8.
