Full accounting price list 2026: accountancy firm, company, payroll

indekscen.pl editorial team · published 30 September 2026 · prices according to the 5 October 2026 index

Full accounting from an accountancy firm most often costs 765 PLN/month net (excl. VAT) for a basic package (typically 660 ‑ 865 PLN/month), usually covering up to several dozen documents per month. HR and payroll services cost an additional approximately 65 PLN/person/month per employee, while simplified accounting for a sole proprietorship usually costs 205 ‑ 320 PLN/month.

You cannot compare full accounting services using a single figure from an accountancy firm’s advert. A package advertised as starting ‘from’ a given price usually covers only a few or a dozen documents, and a company with employees, imports and leases will quickly exceed that threshold. We collected accountancy firms’ price lists and break down the cost into its components: bookkeeping, payroll, annual financial statements and additional services.

How much does an accountancy firm charge for full accounting?

An accountancy firm most often charges 765 PLN/month net (excl. VAT) per month for full accounting, according to 4 price lists collected by indekscen.pl, while half of the firms charge within the 660 ‑ 865 PLN/month range. The cheapest starter package in our data costs 450 PLN/month, while a package covering up to 50 documents costs 1,060 PLN/month. These prices apply to the lowest document threshold and rise significantly when there are more invoices. Details and quotations from price lists are available at full company accounting.

The basic price usually includes maintaining accounting books (full commercial accounts) and preparing current tax returns, including VAT returns. Year-end financial statements, tax advice and employee administration are usually charged separately.

What is full accounting and who does it apply to?

Full accounting means maintaining accounting books in accordance with the Accounting Act, including a chart of accounts, double-entry bookkeeping, stocktaking and annual financial statements. It is mandatory for companies with share capital (limited liability companies and joint-stock companies), limited partnerships and foundations engaged in business activity, as well as partnerships and sole proprietorships that exceed the statutory revenue threshold.

At what amount does full accounting become mandatory? The revenue threshold is defined in the Accounting Act as the equivalent of an amount in euros and converted into PLN each year. It is best to confirm the current threshold for the relevant year with an accountant or tax adviser, because exceeding it means changing the accounting method from the following year.

Full accounting or KPiR: what is the difference in cost?

Full accounting costs considerably more than simplified accounting for a sole proprietorship. According to accountancy firms’ price lists, accounting for a sole proprietorship using the KPiR or lump-sum tax scheme usually costs 205 ‑ 320 PLN/month per month, with a median of 260 PLN/month, while the median for a company’s full accounting is 765 PLN/month.

Accounting method	Typical monthly price	Cheapest package	Suitable for
KPiR or lump-sum tax scheme (sole proprietorship)	205 ‑ 320 PLN/month	159 PLN/month	sole proprietorships, civil-law partnerships
Full accounting	660 ‑ 865 PLN/month	450 PLN/month	companies with share capital, larger businesses
HR and payroll, per employee	53 ‑ 78 PLN/person/month	30 PLN/person/month	businesses with employees

The difference results from the amount of work involved: under full accounting, every document is posted to the relevant accounts, while the firm also maintains fixed asset records and accounts with counterparties, and prepares financial statements.

How much does an accountant charge for a sole proprietorship?

An accountant or accountancy firm usually charges 205 ‑ 320 PLN/month per month to handle a sole proprietorship. The median from price lists is 260 PLN/month, while the cheapest packages start at 159 PLN/month. This price usually includes maintaining the KPiR or lump-sum revenue records, current tax settlements and representation before the tax office and ZUS.

The price increases with the number of invoices, active VAT taxpayer status and the employment of staff. An annual PIT tax return may be charged separately. If a sole proprietorship exceeds the statutory revenue threshold and must switch to full accounting, its monthly service cost approaches the rates charged to companies, namely 660 ‑ 865 PLN/month. If your revenue is growing quickly, it is therefore worth asking the firm in advance how much its services will cost after the change.

Can you manage the accounts of a sole proprietorship yourself? Under the lump-sum tax scheme or KPiR, yes. Many people do this using invoicing software or online services. Full accounting is not usually managed independently because it requires knowledge of the Accounting Act and the chart of accounts.

How much does an accountancy firm charge per employee?

HR and payroll services for one employee usually cost 53 ‑ 78 PLN/person/month per month at accountancy firms, with a median of 65 PLN/person/month. The price includes calculating pay and ZUS contributions, as well as basic HR documents. HR costs rise in direct proportion to the number of employees.

Example: a company with three employees will pay approximately PLN 200 per month for HR and payroll services, while one with ten employees will pay around PLN 650. These amounts are added to the full accounting package, so with several employees, HR and payroll can account for a large part of the bill.

What determines the price of full accounting?

The price of full accounting depends primarily on the number of documents per month, as firms use this to set their package thresholds. Other factors include:

1. Number of documents. The cheapest starter packages begin at 450 PLN/month, while a package covering up to 50 documents costs around 1,060 PLN/month.
2. Employees. Each person on the payroll usually costs an additional 53 ‑ 78 PLN/person/month.
3. International and foreign-currency transactions. Imports, exports and foreign-currency settlements require conversions and additional tax returns.
4. Fixed assets and leases. Each fixed asset requires a depreciation schedule and monthly entries.
5. Micro-enterprise status. A micro-company prepares simplified financial statements, reducing the cost of closing the financial year.
6. City. Prices can be higher in Warsaw, but an increasing number of firms work remotely throughout Poland.

What is not included in the monthly full accounting price?

The monthly full accounting fee usually does not include annual financial statements and closing the financial year, tax advice or audits. Firms price these services separately, so it is worth asking about the cost of preparing the financial statements before signing a contract.

Additional charges may apply for:

• financial statements and the annual CIT return,
• amended tax returns required because of the client’s actions, for example when invoices are submitted late,
• representation during a tax or ZUS inspection,
• tax consultations: an hour with a tax adviser usually costs 400 ‑ 450 PLN/h, with more information in the tax adviser price list article,
• partners’ annual tax returns: a PIT tax return prepared by an accountancy firm usually costs PLN 95 ‑ 210. You can find a comparison with free tools in the free PIT tax return or an accountancy firm article.

Full accounting online: is it cheaper?

Online full accounting can be cheaper because the firm does not maintain customer service offices, while documents are sent through an app or by e-mail. The cheapest online packages start around the lower end of our range, namely 450 PLN/month. The price difference decreases as the number of documents rises because the accountant’s workload remains the same.

When choosing an online firm, check who your dedicated contact will be, whether the firm has professional indemnity insurance and the deadline for submitting documents for each month.

How can you avoid overpaying for full accounting?

• Count the documents from the past three months and ask for a price based on that number, rather than an advertised ‘from’ package.
• Check the price of the annual financial statements before signing the contract. This is the largest additional charge outside the monthly fee.
• Ask about charges for documents exceeding the package limit and for documents submitted late.
• Compare the total cost including employees: the package plus hR and payroll services for everyone.
• Check the scope of the firm’s liability in the contract and its professional indemnity insurance policy.
