The price of a gestoría doesn’t come from a fixed market rate: it depends on your specific situation. Here’s what actually moves the price, so you know what to ask before hiring one.
What factors push the price up or down
- Tax regime: being taxed under modules is usually cheaper to manage than direct estimation, because there are fewer expenses to review and justify every quarter.
- Invoice volume: the more invoices issued and received each month, the more bookkeeping work. Almost every gestoría scales its price on this basis.
- Employees: if you have staff, payroll and social security management gets added on, which is a separate service from the purely tax-related one.
- Reporting and added advisory work: filing taxes is the baseline; a balance sheet that’s explained and analyzable, not just handed over, is a higher-value service and usually costs extra.
Why to be wary of a “one size fits all” price
If a gestoría gives you a flat price without asking about your tax regime, your invoice volume or whether you have employees, that price probably isn’t adjusted to your real case, or the service behind it is more limited than it looks.
How we do it
We’d rather you know a rough price in a minute, with our simulator, by answering exactly those questions (regime, invoices, employees, whether you want reporting). It doesn’t replace a real conversation, but it gives you an honest figure before you commit to anything.
