Why Sydney Businesses Are Switching to Fixed-Fee Accounting
Predictable Accounting Costs = Peace of Mind
If you’ve ever opened an unexpected invoice from your accountant, you already know why Sydney business owners are moving to fixed-fee accounting.
No more hourly charges. No more “quick call” fees. Just transparent, predictable pricing that builds trust and long-term relationships.
At Integrity Plus Accounting, we switched entirely to fixed-fee packages years ago — and our Sydney clients have never looked back.
What Is Fixed-Fee Accounting?
Fixed-fee accounting means you pay one set monthly amount that covers all your regular accounting work — BAS, tax, payroll, reporting, and advisory.
It’s the opposite of traditional hourly billing.
Hourly Billing | Fixed-Fee Accounting | |
Billing Predictability | ❌ Varies each month | ✅ Flat monthly fee |
Transparency | Often unclear | Clear inclusions upfront |
Client Relationship | Transactional | Partnership-based |
Support Calls | Extra cost | Included |
Budgeting Ease | Hard to forecast | Simple and stable |

What’s Included in a Fixed-Fee Package
Every Sydney business is different, but our fixed-fee plans typically include:
- BAS & GST lodgements
- Payroll and super compliance
- Year-end financial statements & tax returns
- Business structure and tax planning
- Cloud accounting setup (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks)
- Quarterly performance reviews and advisory sessions
The goal? To give you total visibility — not just over your numbers, but over what you’re paying for too.
Why Businesses Love It
Sydney business owners choose fixed-fee accounting because it:
- Simplifies budgeting (set monthly amount)
- Removes billing anxiety (“How much will this cost?”)
- Encourages proactive advice and collaboration
- Builds long-term trust between client and accountant
You’ll never hesitate to ask a question or book a call — it’s all included.

Real-World Example
A construction subcontractor in North Sydney once paid thousands in “catch-up” accounting each year. After switching to a $420/month plan with Integrity Plus Accounting, he’s now always ahead on BAS and payroll — and hasn’t had a surprise bill since.
