FAQs
Questions we hear often
Not here? Just reach out.
How does your pricing work?
We work on fixed fees agreed before any work begins, so you'll always know what you're paying. For ongoing services like bookkeeping or payroll, we set a clear monthly fee based on volume — no creeping hourly bills.
What size of business do you work with?
From freelancers and first-year startups to established SMEs and corporations. If your business needs accounts done properly and numbers explained in plain English, we're the right fit.
Will I actually be able to reach my accountant?
Yes. You'll work directly with your accountant — no call centres, no junior hand-offs. We respond within 48 hours, with time-sensitive matters (deadlines, HMRC enquiries) treated as priority. New clients can typically onboard within a week.
I'm not from a finance background — will I understand?
That's exactly who we're built for. We explain accounts, tax, and management reports in plain English — no jargon, no assumed knowledge. If a number matters for a decision, we'll make sure you understand it.
How does switching from another accountant work?
Smooth, and handled by us. We contact your previous accountant, request the handover, and take over your accounts — usually within two to four weeks. No awkward middle period, no chasing on your end.
What does an accountant do beyond filing accounts?
Filing is the floor, not the ceiling. We help you understand your numbers, spot tax savings and cash-flow risks early, and make better business decisions. For clients who want it, we also act as a complete outsourced finance function — bookkeeping, payroll, management reporting, and strategic advice.
