Questions about switching
Can't find your answer? Ask us directly.
Is Pelago cheaper than hiring an accountant?
For most small and medium businesses, yes. A fixed-price bookkeeping plan costs far less than a full-time salary, visa and benefits, and it includes Corporate Tax registration and filing. Ask us for a quote to compare.
Will I always deal with the same person?
Yes. You get a dedicated expert, backed by a team that reviews the work and covers when they're away.
Can you take over from our current accountant?
Yes. We handle the handover, review your history and fix anything that's off.
