Frequently Asked Questions

I already have an accountant - can I still benefit?
Yes! If you're happy with your accountant, and simply want some additional services from us then have a look at our bespoke packages. We'll be happy to work with your existing accountant to make sure you're getting the best possible information.

Do you have professional qualifications?
Yes. We hold a Practising Certificate with the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers to cover all of our bookkeeping and accounts activities. This means we've also signed up to their Professional Conduct Regulations.

Are you insured?
Yes. We have full public liability and professional indemnity insurance. You can see our policy here.

Don't I need to have a qualified accountant to produce end of year accounts?
No you don't. There is no requirement for companies to use a professional accountant to prepare their accounts (Companies Act 2006). Most small companies can file unaudited, abbreviated accounts which we can prepare for you. If your business has to submit audited accounts, we'll let you know and put you in touch with a professional auditor who can do this for you.

This looks really useful for large companies – but my business is quite small.
Our aim is to help small businesses. Often, small business owners don't have the time or the detailed knowledge needed to keep on top of their accounts as well as run their business. We can provide the support that they need, at a great price. Book a free 1 hour consultation to find out how we could help.

The support service looks great – is there a charge for out of hours calls?
No! We know that small business owners don't work on a 9-5 schedule - we certainly don't! We're happy to take calls and emails at any time. This is all part of the great service we offer.

I'm sure there are things I could do to improve the way I work, but I don't know where to start or what questions to ask.
We pride ourselves on being pro-active and letting you know about things we think you should be looking at. If we see something that you could be doing differently, we'll let you know. It's all included as part of the service.
