Tax services faqs

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.

I’ve heard about tax relief schemes but don’t know where to start - can David Howard help me?

There are a range of tax reliefs and schemes available to help reduce your business tax bill. We can help you identify the HMRC schemes relevant to your business, understand how they work and make sure you claim any reliefs you're entitled to.

If I have a question or need support, how responsive are David Howard to my needs?

When you need support, we’re just a call or email away. We always keep things simple and straight to the point. You’ll have a dedicated contact who knows your business and can help you get the answers or advice you need without unnecessary delays or jargon. Whether you have a quick question or need more detailed support, we’re here to help.
