justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accounting service fees are the charges businesses pay to a professional entity or individual to perform bookkeeping, financial reporting, and tax filing tasks on their behalf, as stipulated by the 2015 Accounting Law and the 2025 Tax Administration Law. This service is used to replace or supplement the internal accounting department and is most commonly applied to newly established businesses, small and medium-sized enterprises, and household businesses converting to enterprises. The need for this service arises as soon as the business receives its tax identification number and should be reviewed when the number of invoices or employees exceeds the capacity of the service package being hired.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gia_dich_vu_ke_toan_la_gi_theo_quy_dinh_phap_luat_hien_hanh\"><\/span><b>What are the legal regulations regarding accounting service fees?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vietnamese law does not set a fixed price for accounting services. The 2015 Accounting Law only stipulates the conditions for practicing, the scope of work, and the responsibilities of the service provider, while the price is determined by agreement between the two parties in the service contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, the price of accounting services reflects the value of professional work such as recording economic transactions, preparing financial statements, settling corporate income tax, and being legally responsible for the accuracy of the data. This is a fundamental difference compared to a business hiring an individual without a professional accounting license.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dich_vu_ke_toan_co_vai_tro_nhu_the_nao_trong_quan_tri_tai_chinh_va_thue\"><\/span><b>What role do accounting services play in financial and tax management?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A reasonable accounting service fee should not be viewed as a purely expense. It is an investment in mitigating the risks of tax arrears, late reporting, or administrative penalties in the field of accounting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Decree 41\/2018\/ND-CP, amended by Decree 132\/2026\/ND-CP effective from May 21, 2026, the maximum fine for an administrative violation in the field of accounting is VND 50 million for individuals and VND 100 million for organizations. For small businesses, a single fine for accounting errors can far exceed the total cost of hiring accounting services for an entire year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, accounting services also act as a bridge for businesses to stay up-to-date with policy changes, for example, the Tax Administration Law 2025, which takes effect from July 1, 2026, with many changes regarding the timing of revenue and expense recognition, and the electronic tax filing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nhung_yeu_to_nao_quyet_dinh_gia_dich_vu_ke_toan_nam_2026\"><\/span><b>What factors will determine the price of accounting services in 2026?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9693\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9693\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9693\" src=\"https:\/\/ketoan.man.net.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nhung-yeu-to-nao-quyet-dinh-gia-dich-vu-ke-toan.jpg\" alt=\"Nh\u1eefng y\u1ebfu t\u1ed1 n\u00e0o quy\u1ebft \u0111\u1ecbnh gi\u00e1 d\u1ecbch v\u1ee5 k\u1ebf to\u00e1n\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ketoan.man.net.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nhung-yeu-to-nao-quyet-dinh-gia-dich-vu-ke-toan.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ketoan.man.net.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nhung-yeu-to-nao-quyet-dinh-gia-dich-vu-ke-toan-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ketoan.man.net.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nhung-yeu-to-nao-quyet-dinh-gia-dich-vu-ke-toan-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ketoan.man.net.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nhung-yeu-to-nao-quyet-dinh-gia-dich-vu-ke-toan-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ketoan.man.net.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nhung-yeu-to-nao-quyet-dinh-gia-dich-vu-ke-toan-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9693\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What factors determine the price of accounting services?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of accounting services in the current market varies widely, from a few hundred thousand to tens of millions of VND per month.

Foreign-invested enterprises (FDI) often have to pay higher prices due to bilingual reporting requirements and additional regulations on related-party transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_luong_hoa_don_va_nghiep_vu_phat_sinh_trong_thang\"><\/span><b>Number of invoices and transactions generated during the month<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the most common pricing model in the market. Service packages are usually tiered, such as under 20 invoices, 20 to 50 invoices, and over 50 invoices per month. Businesses with a large number of banking transactions, multiple employees for payroll, and social insurance also drive up service prices accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pham_vi_cong_viec_Chi_ke_khai_thue_hay_tron_goi_bao_cao_tai_chinh\"><\/span><b>Scope of work: Tax filing only or complete financial reporting package?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some firms only handle monthly VAT and personal income tax returns, while comprehensive packages include detailed bookkeeping, year-end financial statement preparation, corporate income tax finalization, and ongoing consulting.

The service provider does not have permanent practicing accountants; they handle paperwork on a part-time freelance basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In its first year, the company was late in submitting its financial reports twice because the service provider failed to meet the deadline. In 2026, during a tax audit, it was discovered that the company had incorrectly accounted for several expenses lacking valid invoices, contrary to Decree 70\/2025\/ND-CP on electronic invoices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Result:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The company was ordered to pay back corporate income tax and was fined for administrative violations under Decree 41\/2018\/ND-CP, amended by Decree 132\/2026\/ND-CP, with the total fine and back taxes exceeding 40 million VND, many times higher than the savings gained from choosing lower service prices for two consecutive years. This demonstrates that cheaper accounting service prices do not necessarily mean lower overall costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nhan_dinh_chuyen_gia_Rui_ro_thuong_gap_khi_chon_dich_vu_ke_toan_theo_tieu_chi_gia_re_nhat\"><\/span><b>Expert opinion: Common risks when choosing accounting services based on the cheapest price.<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts at MAN, with 30 years of experience, note that the majority of disputes between businesses and accounting service providers stem from clients only comparing figures on price quotes while ignoring the actual scope of work involved. A low-priced package often limits the number of invoices processed, does not include consultation when there are official letters from the tax authorities, and does not take responsibility for compensation if errors occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a tax risk management perspective in Vietnam, constantly changing accounting service providers whenever a cheaper price is found also poses risks to the continuity of accounting data between periods, especially when businesses have carry-forward balances from regulations such as interest expense limits or carried-forward losses. The solution from MAN \u2013 Master Accountant Network is to establish clear service contracts outlining scope, liability, and confidentiality commitments from the outset, rather than relying solely on the listed price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another common mistake is that FDI businesses apply accounting service fees based on domestic company rates, while the actual workload is much larger due to the requirement for parallel reporting according to both Vietnamese accounting standards and the standards of the parent company abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ket_luan\"><\/span><b>Conclude<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accounting service prices in 2026 will no longer be tied to a rigid legal framework as in the past, as this profession officially leaves the list of conditional business activities. This opens up more options for businesses but also places a greater burden of assessment on the service buyers themselves. A reasonable price needs to be determined in relation to the scope of work, the team&#039;s capabilities, and the level of compliance with new regulations such as the 2025 Tax Administration Law or Circular 99\/2025\/TT-BTC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your business needs a long-term partner for tax settlement services, <\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/ketoan.man.net.vn\/en\/dich-vu-ke-toan-thue\/\">tax accounting services<\/a><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MAN \u2013 Master Accountant Network, a tax reporting and consulting service provider with over 30 years of experience, is ready to review your current records and provide solutions tailored to the size and actual tax risk level of each business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ketoan.man.net.vn\/en\/lien-he\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Contact MAN \u2013 Master Accountant Network<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For free support and advice!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thong_tin_lien_he_MAN_%E2%80%93_Master_Accountant_Network\"><\/span><b>Contact information MAN \u2013 Master Accountant Network<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Address:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No. 19A, Street 43, Tan Thuan Ward, Ho Chi Minh City<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mobile\/Zalo:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 0903 963 163 \u2013 0903 428 622<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>E-mail:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> man@man.net.vn<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Google Business Profile:<\/b><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/EmihzHg354pCASC9k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View MAN \u2013 Master Accountant Network&#039;s Google Business Profile\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>LinkedIn Founder:<\/b> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tuy%C3%AAn-l%C3%AA-ho%C3%A0ng-65292aa0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View expert Le Hoang Tuyen&#039;s LinkedIn profile.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Responsible for production and professional content review by: Mr. <\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/man.net.vn\/le-hoang-tuyen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Hoang Tuyen \u2013 Founder &amp; CEO of MAN \u2013 Master Accountant Network<\/a><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is a CPA Vietnam auditor with over 30 years of in-depth experience in accounting, auditing, taxation, and corporate legal consulting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cau_hoi_thuong_gap_ve_gia_dich_vu_ke_toan\"><\/span><b>Frequently Asked Questions about Accounting Service Pricing<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vi_sao_tu_0172026_gia_dich_vu_ke_toan_tren_thi_truong_lai_bien_dong_manh\"><\/span><b>Why will accounting service prices fluctuate significantly in the market starting July 1, 2026?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because this industry is no longer included in the list of conditional business activities under Resolution 66.17\/2026\/NQ-CP, the number of suppliers has increased rapidly, leading to more intense price competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gia_dich_vu_ke_toan_thap_co_anh_huong_den_chat_luong_bao_cao_tai_chinh_khong\"><\/span><b>Do low accounting service fees affect the quality of financial reports?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is highly likely.

Full-service packages, which include detailed bookkeeping, year-end financial statement preparation, and corporate income tax final settlement, are more expensive but reduce the risk of missing documentation during settlement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Doanh_nghiep_chua_phat_sinh_doanh_thu_hoa_don_co_phai_tra_phi_dich_vu_ke_toan_khong\"><\/span><b>If a business has not yet generated revenue or issued invoices, are they required to pay accounting service fees?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, according to the 2015 Accounting Law, the obligation to declare taxes and report financial statements arises from the moment a business receives its tax identification number, even before generating revenue. The price for this case is usually at the lowest rate, around 500,000 VND per month, due to the relatively small workload.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phi_quyet_toan_thue_cuoi_nam_co_tinh_rieng_ngoai_gia_dich_vu_ke_toan_hang_thang_khong\"><\/span><b>Is the year-end tax settlement fee charged separately from the monthly accounting service fee?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on the contract. Many firms include the fees for corporate income tax settlement and year-end financial statement preparation in their monthly package price, while some separate the fees into installments, usually equivalent to one to three months of regular service fees.
