As I said that is the opening answer. I always give the first hour or so free, and this includes taking a good look at what is in place/what needs putting in place and the approx length of time it will take to set up, from that I should be able to give a good idea of how many hours per week/month it will take.
For that all in price they are getting my experience, knowledge and abilities to deal with all there bookkeeping needs, I don’t price per item but deal with every thing as it comes up including the admin behind it all.
You also need to include the cost of travel and time out your own office, so yes I think it is.
£25 – £35 per hour is the going rate in Bradford for this type of work. If that’s of any use to you?
Why do Bookkeepers/Accountants always skirt around the bottom line when someone asks for a price?
I have found that when a client asks this question the bottom line amount is all they want to know to start a discussion on whether or not to work with you.

As always the client is free to choose who they wish!

Any idea what to charge to do the book keeping

They prefer you to be upfront and honest!
