How much does an accountant cost for an LLC?

Updated March 29, 2026 - There is no single legal rate for an accountant or a chartered accountant in an SARL. Fees are free. The real question in 2026 is therefore not only the displayed price, but the mission scope, the level of support and the quality of the mission letter.

Service-Public reminds that an accounting mission must be framed by an mission letter. The Order's directory also makes it possible to verify that the professional is indeed registered on the roll.

To complete, see Chartered accountant rate simulator, Chartered accountant Paris: missions and obligations 2026 and How to change accountants.

The price depends in particular:

• ▸the volume of parts;
• ▸the VAT regime;
• ▸payroll;
• ▸the level of tax advice;
• ▸tools used;
• ▸the need for support from the manager.

In practice, an SARL does not only pay for bookkeeping. She can also pay:

• ▸tax declarations;
• ▸the annual legal;
• ▸payroll;
• ▸dashboards;
• ▸one-off advice on remuneration, dividends or investments.

Choosing only on the low price can lead to:

• ▸an undersized mission;
• ▸tax options that are little followed;
• ▸low reactivity;
• ▸subsequent additional costs on non-package requests.

Hayot Expertise advice: the right price is that of a readable mission letter, which really covers your needs, not that of a poorly defined minimum package.

We offer missions adapted to SARLs according to their size, their pace of development and their need for tax and accounting management.
