Accounting services cost in Ukraine: what the monthly fee depends on
Looking for audit fees? They are on a separate page: how much an audit costs.
What drives the price of bookkeeping in Ukraine
There is no single price that fits every company: two businesses with the same turnover can differ several times over in workload. Below is an honest list of what the fee depends on, so you can size up your own case before you talk to us.
Six factors that set the fee
- Number of source documents per month. The main driver. Ten invoices and three hundred are different jobs even at the same turnover.
- Tax regime. The simplified single tax without VAT is lighter than the general system with VAT: fewer ledgers, fewer filings, less room for error.
- Headcount. Payroll, unified social contribution, military levy, sick leave, holidays and HR paperwork are priced separately from transaction accounting.
- Foreign trade. Currency operations, customs declarations, exchange differences and repatriation add a block of work of their own.
- State of the books at the start. If the previous accountant left gaps, restoring the records comes first and is a separate engagement with its own timeline.
- Reporting format. A report for a local owner is one thing; a pack for a parent company in English or under IFRS is another.
What the monthly fee covers
Keeping the ledgers, processing source documents, calculating taxes, preparing and filing tax and financial statements on time, payroll and core HR records, replies to tax authority requests, and advice within the scope of current work. Priced separately: restoring prior-period books, support during an inspection, IFRS reporting and transfer pricing.
How we differ from a freelance accountant
A dedicated accountant keeps your books, and once a quarter an auditor of the firm reviews the work. That means an error is found by us while it can still be corrected, not by the tax authority during an inspection. Since 2000, auditors register No. 4624, member of DFK International.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost for a small business in Ukraine?
The lowest fee is for a group 3 sole trader without VAT or staff: a few transactions a month and one return per quarter. Each extra factor, VAT, employees, foreign-currency receipts, cross-border trade, adds volume and cost. We quote after a short call about your volume.
How much does accounting for an LLC in Ukraine cost per month?
For an LLC the fee is built from the number of documents and transactions, the tax regime (general with VAT or simplified), the number of employees on payroll, cross-border trade, and whether management reports or English reporting for the owner are needed. These components are explained above; we prepare a proposal after reviewing the task.
Do you charge per hour or a fixed fee? Is there a price list?
Ongoing service is a fixed monthly fee for an agreed scope; one-off tasks outside the scope are billed hourly. There is no price table because two companies with the same turnover can have three times the difference in documents; instead you receive a proposal with the list of work and the amount.
