Frequently asked questions
What exactly does an accountant for sole traders do?
An accountant for sole traders handles your Self Assessment tax return, ensures you claim all allowable expenses, and helps you understand your tax bill. They can also manage your bookkeeping, provide cash flow forecasts, and offer advice on VAT registration and payments on account. Their goal is to keep you compliant with HMRC and help you make financially sound decisions for your business.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant benefit my sole trader business?
An ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant brings a high level of technical knowledge and professional standards to your business. They are regulated and must adhere to strict ethical guidelines. This means you receive reliable advice on complex tax matters, accurate preparation of your accounts, and a strategic partner who can help you plan for growth and profitability.
Do I need to register for VAT as a sole trader?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. However, you can also voluntarily register if you wish to reclaim VAT on your business purchases. An accountant can help you determine whether voluntary registration is beneficial for your specific circumstances and assist with the registration process and ongoing submissions.
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?
A bookkeeper typically records your financial transactions, such as sales and purchases, and may manage your ledgers and invoices. An accountant goes further by analysing this financial data, preparing your tax returns, and providing strategic advice. While a bookkeeper is useful for day-to-day record keeping, an accountant ensures your statutory obligations are met and helps you plan for the future.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on the complexity of your business and your personal preferences. Many sole traders meet their accountant quarterly to review cash flow and tax planning, whilst others only meet annually to prepare their tax return. Regular contact is often beneficial to ensure you are taking advantage of any tax changes and to keep your records up to date.
Can an accountant help me if HMRC investigates my tax return?
Yes, an accountant can be invaluable during an HMRC enquiry. They will act as your representative, handle all correspondence with HMRC, and ensure that your records are presented correctly. Their expertise helps to reduce the stress of an investigation and can often resolve issues more quickly and favourably than if you dealt with it alone.
