How we bill
May 5, 2025
At Adviterra, we use a relatively unique but highly appreciated billing method. It involves flexible accounting service packages.
Flexible packages
Clients do not have a fixed flat rate agreement with us, but only pay for the documents they deliver to us in a given month, i.e. only for what we invoice. This billing method is fair and, moreover, very transparent. More than 99% of clients use flexible packages.
How are accounting items calculated?
The price for monthly accounting depends on the total number of accounting items recorded in a given month. We will assign the client to the appropriate package based on this. If the number of items exceeds 100, each additional item will be charged separately.
Example:
- January: 38 items → package up to 40
- February: 55 items → package up to 70
- March: 31 items → package up to 40
If we invoice a package higher than the minimum, the client automatically receives a statement from the accounting journal from us so that they can check the number of items.
What is an accounting item?
An accounting item is each separate movement in the accounting journal, according to the Accounting Act and accounting procedures for entrepreneurs using double-entry bookkeeping.
Examples:
- Received/issued invoice – 2 accounting items (if it does not include VAT, 1 item)
- Foreign invoice received with reverse charge – 4 accounting items
- Bank account movement – 1 accounting item
- Cash payment of a cash receipt – 2 accounting items (if it does not include VAT, 1 item)
- Recording revenues from eKasa - 2 accounting entries per month
Discounts for automation
Efficiency and automation are not just empty words for us. We offer attractive discounts to clients who help us save time. This gives them the opportunity to save a considerable amount of money depending on which agendas they use in Numiron:
- Invoices issued via Numiron – 80% discount
- Linked bank account to Numiron – 50% discount
- Recorded received invoices/receipts in Numiron – 40% discount
Early bird discount: We also offer clients a 10% discount on accounting services for documents delivered by the 7th day. This minimizes the rush of processing in the last days before the VAT filing deadline. We will automatically apply the discount; all you need to do is ensure that you have no unpaid invoices past due at the time of invoicing.
Consulting
Consulting and administrative services are billed at the hourly rate of the employee providing the service. There is no minimum amount billed, so you only pay for the time we spent handling your specific request. We record all employee working hours in a time tracking tool.
Financial statements and tax returns
The price for processing financial statements and tax returns is determined as a multiple of the hourly rate of the employees who processed them and the time spent on processing them. This usually involves an accountant and tax advisor, or possibly a tax advisor's assistant. In most cases, the final price ranges from 1 to 1.5 times your average monthly billing. The minimum rate for processing financial statements and tax returns is €150.
Ex post invoicing
We always invoice active clients with a signed accounting contract in arrears. This means that we provide the services first and then issue the invoice. You do not pay anything in advance, but only after we have provided the service. The exception is the minimum package, which is invoiced regardless of whether you have delivered the documents for the given month to us or not.
Old billing method
Until the end of 2024, we only invoiced clients each month for items that were posted directly in that month. If we retroactively posted documents to previous months during accounting, these items were not invoiced at that time – to avoid the complicated rewriting of old invoices.
We added them to the annual financial statements if this meant an increase in the package.
Example:
In January, you received an invoice from us for a package of up to 40 items. However, during our annual audit, we discover that we retroactively added additional items to January, bringing the total number to 58. We will then invoice you for the difference along with the financial statements – i.e., a package of up to 70 items minus the already invoiced package of up to 40 items.
