How we price

Pricing should follow the complexity of the work.

CPA firms price by complexity. A sole proprietor and a mid-market manufacturer are not the same engagement. Auciera’s pricing reflects that same reality: per client, per complexity tier, based on your actual practice mix.

 
Accounting. Refined.
The Pricing Principle

The cost scales with the work.

Most pricing models force simple clients to subsidise complex ones. A flat rate treats every client file the same, regardless of how much work it actually requires. That model benefits complex clients at the expense of straightforward ones. It also means you are paying for capability you may not be using.

Auciera’s pricing doesn’t work that way. Practices where most client files are straightforward will find it accessible. Practices with a deeper complexity mix will find the model reflects that mix directly.

The pricing principle

“The cost of Auciera across your practice scales with the complexity of the work it is doing. A firm with 50 simple clients should not pay the same as a firm with 50 complex ones.”

This is not a pitch. It is the actual model. The number you receive at the end of a pricing conversation will reflect your specific client mix. Not a standard tier, not a per-seat rate, not a number that was designed for a different kind of practice.

The pricing model

Complexity-based pricing, built the way your fees are built

Every CPA firm already understands this model. You do not charge a sole proprietor the same rate as a multi-entity client with intercompany transactions. The work is different. The judgement required is different. The time is different. Auciera prices the same way.

Lower complexityHigher complexity
Tier 1
Straightforward
Sole proprietors, single-entity clients with predictable transaction patterns and minimal review requirements.
Negligible compared to complex engagements. At this tier, categorisation is straightforward, exceptions are rare, and the record stays clean without significant intervention.
Tier 2
Standard
Small corporations and owner-managed businesses with moderate volume, some categorisation judgement required.
Accessible. Reflects the straightforward nature of the file without subsidising complexity elsewhere.
Tier 3
Complex
Mid-market clients, multiple streams, non-standard transactions, active exception resolution and approval chains.
Reflects the scope. Auciera is doing materially more: surfacing exceptions, resolving ambiguity, maintaining the audit trail.
Tier 4
High complexity
Multi-entity, intercompany eliminations, consolidated reporting, high transaction volume, governance-intensive engagements.
Full scope pricing. The depth of what Auciera is doing across these files is the work that justifies the cost.

Most practices carry a mix. A handful of files that run themselves. A core that behaves predictably. And a smaller group that consumes a disproportionate share of senior time. That is the normal shape of a CPA practice, and Auciera’s pricing follows that same shape.

Practices with a predominantly straightforward client mix will find the total cost modest. Practices with a heavier complexity tier will see pricing that reflects the actual scope of what is happening across those files.

No flat monthly per-seat rate. The model aligns with the way professional services actually work.

Why this matters

“A practice with twenty straightforward clients should not pay the same as a practice with twenty complex ones. The work is different. The cost should reflect that. We built the pricing the same way you built your fees.”

The pricing conversation

What a pricing conversation with Auciera actually looks like

No hidden discovery agenda. No surprises. Three questions, thirty minutes, a clear answer. A CPA who knows what they are walking into is far more likely to book the call than one who does not. Here is exactly what we cover.

That is it. The conversation exists to give you a number specific to your practice, not to sell you on features you already read about.

1
Your client file count
Total number of active client files under management. A rough number is fine. We are building a picture of scale, not auditing your CRM.
2
Your complexity mix
Roughly how your files distribute across the tiers above. Most practices know this intuitively: the files that run themselves versus the ones that need senior attention every month.
3
Your current software stack
What you are running today. This tells us the integration path and any migration considerations before we give you a number.
