1,000-1,500 GBP. As a rule of thumb, take the daily rate the consultancy would charge for you and cut it by 50%.

More like 3-4x for Deloitte unless at SM-ish or above.

There are specialized accountants that can help with this. It’s not super hard as far as I know (even though I have not done it myself)
