Fees
How we price financial auditing engagements
Fees follow scope: number of entities, inventory complexity, locations requiring attendance, bilingual reporting needs, and whether the year is a first-year audit. The figures below are starting points for discussion, not a catalogue of fixed packages.
Agreed-Upon Procedures for Lenders & Investors
Procedure-based fixed fee
What changes the estimate
- Multiple warehouses or cash locations requiring count attendance
- First-year audits with limited predecessor access
- Significant related-party networks or overseas consolidations
- Compressed filing deadlines that require evening or weekend fieldwork
- Japanese and English reporting packs for mixed stakeholder groups
What we do not sell
We do not offer monthly software-style subscriptions, prepaid audit credits, or tiered “Starter / Professional / Enterprise” product cards. An engagement letter states the fee for a defined period and scope. Out-of-scope work is quoted before it begins.
Deposits and billing
Statutory audits typically invoice 40% on engagement acceptance, 40% after interim or first fieldwork week, and 20% on report issuance. Smaller agreed-upon procedures may invoice 50% on acceptance and 50% on delivery of the findings report.
