Joining part-way through the year

Year-end work covers the whole year, so the months already gone are charged once. Sole traders and CIS: monthly fee times whole months since 6 April, capped at £295. Companies: monthly fee times whole months since the day after the last year end, capped at six months. No catch-up charge if your previous accountant hands over up-to-date books.

Questions about fees

Is there a minimum term?

No. One month's notice, either way. Fees are collected by Direct Debit on the 1st.

What happens if my turnover goes up?

We look at your turnover once a year when the accounts are done. If you move into a higher band we tell you before the new fee starts and we agree it in writing.

Does the fee include VAT?

No. Every price on this site is plus VAT at 20%, and we show both. If you are not VAT-registered you pay the VAT-inclusive figure, because we cannot reclaim it for you.

Do you charge for phone calls or emails?

Never. Calls, emails, messages, office meetings, tax estimates, reminders and routine HMRC letters are all in the fee.

I am joining part-way through the year. What do I pay?

The year-end work covers the whole year, so the months already gone are charged once. For sole traders and CIS that is your monthly fee times the whole months since 6 April, capped at £295. For companies it is your monthly fee times the whole months since the day after the last year end, capped at six months. There is no catch-up charge if your previous accountant hands over up-to-date books.

Do you ever turn work down?

Yes. We do not do audits, investment advice or payroll for very large teams. If a different kind of firm would suit you better, we say so on the first call.

Will you ask for my HMRC password?

Never. We get authorised as your agent through HMRC's own process, and we check who you are through a secure link, not by email.

Want it in writing before you commit?

Ring for a 15-minute call. We give you a fixed price and an engagement letter. No pressure and no hourly clock.
