Accounting services faqs
What services can accountants offer?
Core services include bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, annual accounts, corporation tax and self-assessment.
Beyond compliance, many accountants also offer management accounts, cash flow forecasting, tax planning, business advisory and support with raising finance.
I'm not sure what services I need?
That's completely normal, and it's exactly what an initial consultation is for. Tell us where your business is now and where you want it to go, and we'll recommend the right services.
There's no obligation and no standard package we push everyone towards. We look at your unique situation and needs, then put together a service list that fits, and we can always add to it later.
Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes, and it's simpler than most people expect. We handle the process for you.
Switching can usually happen at any point in the year, though timing it around your year end or a VAT quarter often makes the transition cleanest.
Once we have your records, we'll review your current setup, flag anything that needs attention, and get you settled with minimal disruption to your day-to-day finances.
Do you work with cloud accounting software?
Yes, cloud accounting is how we work with the vast majority of our clients. We're accredited with Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and Sage, so we can support whichever platform you use, or recommend and set one up if you're still on spreadsheets or desktop software.
Cloud accounting means your figures are always up to date and accessible from anywhere, and it lets us see your numbers in real time rather than waiting for you to send files. This makes it easier to spot issues early, answer questions quickly, and keep your Making Tax Digital obligations on track without last-minute scrambles.
Do you offer business advice as well as accounting?
Yes, we offer business advisory. Our business advisory service includes cash flow forecasting, profit improvement, tax planning, business structure advice, and support with raising finance or planning an exit.
We believe accounts should do more than satisfy HMRC. We help you understand what's actually driving performance in your business and where the opportunities and risks are.
