Accounting services in Pakistan: what they cost and what to ask

Updated 4 November 2026

A basic monthly bookkeeping package for a small business in Pakistan starts at about Rs 35,000, and a skilled package is listed at Rs 65,000, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. Company registration starts from Rs 12,000, and sole proprietorship registration is listed at Rs 10,000. The quickest way to current prices for your business is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Registration and local rules

Company registration depends on the business type, such as a private limited company, a public limited company or a sole proprietorship, and on the authorised share capital. Expect the SECP company incorporation and an NTN from the FBR, which your accountant can handle for you. One firm lists a professional fee of Rs 90,000 on top of registration expenses of Rs 16,200 to Rs 26,200, so ask for both figures. Full-service firms quote Rs 35,000 to Rs 80,000 and more for the whole job.

Season and timing

The desert climate brings very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. The weather does not change accounting work, so timing depends on your own calendar. In the mild months an in-person meeting with an accountant in Lahore, Karachi or Islamabad is easier, while the summer heat is very high.

Monthly package or one-off job

Accounting is bought in two ways here: a monthly package that covers ongoing bookkeeping, daily, weekly or quarterly, or a one-off job such as a registration or a yearly audit. Online bookkeeping is offered across Pakistan, and some firms work from Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, so the accountant does not need to be in your city. Ask whether the price includes payroll and tax returns.

What to write in your request

Say the business structure, what you need (monthly bookkeeping, tax returns, registration or an audit), the number of transactions per month, the type and size of the business, your city and your monthly budget. Sellers ask these questions first, so the quotes you get back will be closer to what you actually need.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the work in your own words in a chat, and the system asks for any missing details. It then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Pakistan and shows the prices and firms it found. Registered accounting sellers reply in the chat with their own price and terms. Your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. See the request form and financial services and investment.
