No Hidden Costs, No Nasty Surprises; At InHand We Always Agree A Scope And A Cost Up-Front

You may now be asking “what’s it going to cost?”

The truth? It depends. Every business is different. We base our pricing on the value we can deliver. This depends on three factors: your accounting needs, the scale and complexity of your business, and the quality of your existing systems. 

Unlike some providers we don’t advertise fixed price packages, because this often leads to service quality problems down the line. Instead, we take the time to really understand who and what we are working with, before setting a clear scope and agreeing a fixed price.
