Frequently asked questions
What exactly does an accountant for a sole trader do?
An accountant for a sole trader typically prepares and submits your Self Assessment tax return to HMRC, ensures you claim all allowable expenses, and advises on record keeping. They can also help with VAT returns, tax planning, and provide general financial guidance to help your business grow and remain compliant with current regulations.
Do I need an accountant if my business is very small?
Even if your business is small, an accountant can save you time and money. They ensure your tax return is accurate, helping you avoid penalties from HMRC. They can also spot tax-saving opportunities you might miss. As your business grows, their advice becomes even more valuable for strategic planning and cash flow management.
How do I choose between an ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT qualified accountant?
All three qualifications indicate a high level of professional competence. ACCA and ICAEW are chartered bodies, often suited for larger or more complex businesses. AAT is a technical qualification, ideal for day-to-day bookkeeping and straightforward tax returns. Your choice depends on your business complexity and the level of strategic advice you require.
What records should I keep for my accountant?
You should keep records of all income and expenses, including receipts, invoices, bank statements, and any records of personal use of business assets. For HMRC, you need to keep these records for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline. Your accountant can provide a specific checklist tailored to your business type.
Can an accountant help me with VAT registration and returns?
Yes, an accountant can advise on whether you need to register for VAT, help you complete the application, and manage your VAT returns. They will ensure you meet all deadlines and claim the correct input tax. This is particularly useful if your turnover is near the threshold or if you deal with other VAT-registered businesses.
How much does a sole trader accountant typically charge?
Fees vary depending on the complexity of your affairs and the level of service you need. Some accountants charge a fixed monthly fee, while others charge per service, such as a set fee for a tax return. It is best to request quotes from several firms in Banchory and compare what is included in the price.
