In the current market, weâve seen rates as low as Â£50 +VAT, and as high as Â£180 +VAT for dedicated contractor accountants. Interestingly, the average cost of contractor accounting has not risen in line with inflation over the past decade.
1 Accountants charge $150-$400 or more an hour, depending on the type of work, the size of the firm and its location. 2  You'll pay lower rates for routine work done by a less-experienced associate or lesser-trained employee, such as $30-$50 for bookkeeping services. 3  An accountant's total fee depends on the project. For example, if you're considering buying a San Francisco Bay Area business that's for sale for less than $1 million, an accountant's fees for a due diligence evaluation of all financial aspects of the company and the transaction could run $5,000-$25,000, according to SFGate.com.
