Frequently asked questions

Do I need an accountant?
If you run a business, are a landlord or contractor, or your tax affairs are anything more than the very simplest, a qualified accountant saves you time, reduces your tax bill legitimately and keeps you compliant with HMRC and Companies House deadlines.
How easy is it to change accountants?
Very easy. You only need to tell your current accountant you are leaving — we handle the rest. We write to them, collect your records and bring everything up to date. Most clients switch with no disruption at all.
How much does an accountant cost — and are you expensive?
We only offer fixed-price, all-inclusive monthly packages tailored to you, so there are no hidden fees or bill surprises. Costs depend on your business type and the services you need. Get a quote in minutes — just ask.
My accounts have just been done. Is there any point switching now?
Yes. Right after your year-end is the ideal time to move. We can review your latest figures, check you are on the most tax-efficient structure, and have everything ready well before your next deadline.
As a Bristol accountant, can you help my business elsewhere in the UK?
Absolutely. We are based in central Bristol but we support clients across the UK. With cloud accounting software, location is no barrier to a great service.
Should I set up as a sole trader or a limited company?
It depends on your income, growth plans and appetite for admin. We will advise on the most efficient structure for your situation and handle all of the formation paperwork if a limited company is right for you.
