Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an accountant if I am self employed?
You are not required to use an accountant, but most self employed people choose to. An accountant saves time, helps you stay compliant, ensures you claim all allowable expenses and reduces the risk of mistakes or penalties.
Can you help me switch from my current accountant?
Yes. Switching accountants is simple and we manage the process for you. We contact your previous accountant, request the necessary information and make sure everything transfers smoothly.
How long does it take to complete a tax return?
This depends on how organised your records are. If everything is ready, we can usually complete it quickly. We always aim to file early so you have more time to plan for your tax bill.
Will I deal directly with Martin?
Yes. All clients work directly with Martin, which means personalised support and consistent communication throughout the year.
Do you help new businesses?
Yes. We can help you set up correctly from day one. This includes choosing the right structure, registering with HMRC, setting up cloud software and planning for tax.
