Common Questions

Everything you want to know

Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often.

Do I need to switch accountants at the end of the tax year?
No — you can switch at any time of year. We handle all the paperwork to notify HMRC and contact your previous accountant on your behalf. Most clients are fully up and running with us within a week.
What if I'm behind on my accounts?
Don't worry — you're not alone and it's nothing we haven't seen before. We'll assess where things stand, help you get up to date as quickly as possible, and put a proper system in place going forward. No judgement, just solutions.
Do you deal with HMRC on my behalf?
Yes, completely. Once you're a client we become your registered agent with HMRC. That means all correspondence, submissions and queries go through us — you won't need to deal with HMRC directly.
What's included in the monthly fee?
Everything you need for your package — no surprise invoices for a quick phone call or email. Your monthly fee covers all filings, submissions, your dedicated account manager and ongoing support. See our pricing above for a full breakdown.
How quickly will you respond to my questions?
We aim to respond to all queries within 24 hours — and usually much faster via WhatsApp. You'll have a named account manager who knows your business, so you're never explaining yourself from scratch.
Do you work with limited companies as well as sole traders?
Yes — we work with sole traders, limited companies, contractors, property investors and SMEs across the UK. Whatever your structure, we have a package to suit and the expertise to match.
Are your fees tax deductible?
Yes. Accountancy fees are an allowable business expense, meaning you can deduct them from your taxable profits. In practice, this means your accounting costs you less than the headline fee once the tax saving is factored in.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
No long-term contracts. We work on a rolling monthly basis — you stay because you value the service, not because you're tied in. That said, most of our clients stay with us for years once they see the difference.
