Three tiers. One number each. A published cap.
Every fee is fixed against a stated volume. You know what you pay before you engage us, and you know what happens if you outgrow it. Nothing is priced on how much we think you will pay.

Every engagement starts with a review of your existing books. If they are current and reconciled, we begin on the standard retainer from month one. If there is a backlog, unreconciled accounts, missing periods, prior-year cleanup, we quote that work separately as a fixed one-time fee, agreed before we start.
Xero, Fathom and Float are included in your monthly fee at the tier where each applies. No separate software bills.
Work that falls outside your monthly scope, IRD enquiries, due diligence, systems projects, is billed at HK$1,800 per hour, half-day minimum, quoted in advance.
You will never see cleanup costs, software fees, or out-of-scope work folded quietly into your monthly rate.
A transaction is a bank or card line reconciled in Xero. Not an invoice, not a receipt. You can count it yourself, and so can we.
Volume is measured quarterly. One busy month does not generate an invoice. A sustained trend does. We tell you when you reach 80% of your cap. Three consecutive months above it triggers a re-scope conversation, not a bigger bill.
Statutory audits in Hong Kong require an HKICPA Practising Certificate. Black Ink coordinates the audit process through our registered HKICPA partner network. Audit fees are passed through at cost, typically HK$8,000 to 20,000 per year for a small company, agreed in advance, with no markup.
