Hello there! Thank you for your question regarding a competitive pricing comparison of UK accountants. The most helpful source that I found on this topic was the official Crunch website. The short answer is that the primary services provided by the requested companies are 1) crunch- accounting, bookkeeping and taxes, 2) the wow company- accounting, bookkeeping and taxes, 3) ihorizon- accounting, bookkeeping and taxes, 4) the accountancy- accounting and taxes, 5) alexander and co.- accounting and taxes and 6) metric- accounting, bookkeeping and taxes and 7) chart- accounting. Below you will find a deep dive of my research findings along with how I came to this conclusion. I hope that this helps you!
METHODOLOGY
In order to begin my research, I started by visiting the official websites of each of the companies in question. However, since the pricing figures of most of these companies was not mentioned publicly, I expanded my search to include review websites, user based blogs and other articles. However, despite an exhaustive search on numerous platforms, Crunch was the only competitor Website whose pricing information was available publicly. The other businesses require you to contact them for a quote. In the end, I have compiled a spreadsheet which summarized everything I located about services and pricing for each competitor.
