How does Thyme's pricing work?
Pick your business type (Self-Assessment, Sole Trader, Partnership, Limited Company, or Charity). Each has one to four fixed-fee tiers covering the core compliance work. On top of that, a Customise your plan menu lets you tick the recurring or one-off extras you want. For anything outside the menu — fractional CFO, ongoing bookkeeping, audit, multi-session projects — just get in touch and we'll scope it together. You only pay for what you actually need.
What if I need something that isn't in my tier?
That's what the add-ons in Customise your plan are for — tick what you need and the running total updates as you go. Items can be monthly, yearly, or one-off charges. For anything bigger or bespoke (fractional CFO, audit, multi-session projects), the Need something else? callout points you to a quick chat where we'll scope it together. You don't need to upgrade your whole package to get one extra service.
I run a Limited Company — do I need a separate Self Assessment?
Most directors do. From the Essentials tier upward, up to 2 Self Assessment returns are included for directors. If you have a third director, spouse, or family member who also needs one, you can add as many as you need under Customise your plan.
Are your fees truly fixed with no hidden charges?
Yes. Your monthly tier fee covers everything defined in your engagement letter. Add-ons are clearly priced upfront — never automatic, never hidden. For one-off strategic conversations beyond a standard add-on, you can also book a paid advisory session directly in our calendar with the price shown at the time of booking.
Can I move between tiers later?
Yes. Tiers can be upgraded or downgraded at any time — most clients review their tier at the annual meeting. You can also add or remove individual add-ons month-to-month.
Do your fees include VAT?
Our published prices exclude VAT. VAT at the standard rate is added to all invoices where applicable.
Can I switch from my current accountant to Thyme?
Yes — switching is straightforward. We handle the professional clearance process, contact your previous accountant, gather your records, and get you set up on our systems with minimal disruption to you.
What accounting software do you use?
We're Xero and FreeAgent gold partners and work with both platforms. FreeAgent is free if you bank with NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Ulster Bank, or Mettle; otherwise both are at provider rates. If you're not yet on cloud accounting software, we'll help you get set up as part of onboarding.
