What should a small drinks producer with 3 employees expect to pay for accountancy and bookkeeping services?

For a small producer with 3 employees, members suggest a reasonable range of **£700–£1,400 per annum** depending on the full scope of services required.

Members also noted that specialist accountants with tiered pricing structures exist within the community network. One member reported working with accountants who offer **different levels of pricing** and have proven effective even for more complex setups (multiple entities, inter-company loans), describing them as "game changers" with "reasonable and great work/outputs."

If you're facing a significant price increase from your current bookkeeper, this range provides a useful benchmark to assess whether the new quote is justified by expanded scope or an unreasonable jump.
