Traditionally, many accountants and bookkeepers work with an hourly rate. At first glance that sounds logical: you pay for the time someone spends on your administration.

Still, we don’t think that’s the most pleasant way to work together. Because how much will your bookkeeping cost this month? Does that phone call cost extra? And what happens when you actually need a bit more advice?

That’s why at IBEO we work with fixed packages and fixed prices. You know where you stand in advance, and we can focus on what really matters: getting your administration right and giving you insight into your numbers.

1. No surprises from hourly billing

With an hourly rate, you don’t always know in advance how much work a particular question or task will take. As a result, one month’s invoice can come in considerably higher than another’s.

That doesn’t just make budgeting harder, it can also make you think twice before calling your accountant.

We believe financial questions should be asked exactly when they come up. That’s why we work with clear packages that match the support your business needs.

2. More grip on your cash flow

As an entrepreneur you want to know which costs to expect each month. Certainly in hospitality, where turnover, staff costs and purchasing can fluctuate considerably over the year.

With a fixed monthly amount, you can build your accounting costs into your budget and cash flow planning up front.

IBEO currently offers three packages: Monthly from € 549 per month, Weekly from € 599 per month and Full-service from € 1,249 per month.

Which package suits you depends on how much support you need and how often your administration has to be processed.

3. Asking for help without watching the clock

An accountant isn’t only there to file returns. Precisely when you have an important decision to make, or your numbers raise questions, you want to be able to talk it through easily.

IBEO’s packages include personal guidance and contact. So you don’t have to think about how many minutes will end up on the invoice every time you get in touch.

That matters to us. Good accounting isn’t only about what happened last month. Your numbers should also help you make better decisions for the months ahead.

4. A package that suits your business

Not every entrepreneur needs the same support.

That’s why IBEO has several packages. With the Monthly package, your administration is processed each month and you get your VAT return, reports, administration tools and personal contact, among other things.

Want your administration updated more often? Then the Weekly package offers weekly processing, SEPA payment batches, weekly updates and reports, combined with a monthly close and personal contact.

For entrepreneurs who want to outsource their financial administration much further, there’s Full-service. You get a personal finance assistant, and IBEO can handle the complete bookkeeping, maintain contact with suppliers and manage your finance inbox, among other things.

And if your business changes? Then your package can be adjusted. After all, your administration should be able to grow with your company.

5. Automation should benefit you

Automation in accountancy is moving fast. POS systems, accounting software, digital invoice processing and smart integrations can take over more and more manual work.

Under a traditional hourly rate, working more efficiently simply means fewer billable hours.

A fixed-package model creates a different incentive. If we can organise your administration more smartly and efficiently, that creates more room for control, insight and personal contact.

For restaurants, hotels and cafés in particular, that matters. A good connection between your POS system, administration and reporting can give you faster insight into turnover, costs and margins.

What do you get at IBEO?

Whichever package you choose, IBEO combines the administration with personal contact and insight into your numbers. Every package comes with your own dashboard and personal guidance, and we make sure your VAT return is filed on time.

We also offer additional services for entrepreneurs who need more support. Think of hospitality payroll administration, back office services, financing applications, help with buying or selling a hospitality business, and hospitality IT integration.

So you don’t pay for loose hours, you choose the support that fits your business.
