Frequently asked questions
What exactly does an accountant for a sole trader do?
An accountant for a sole trader handles your Self Assessment tax return, ensures you claim all allowable expenses, and advises on tax planning. They help you maintain accurate records, calculate your Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance contributions, and can assist with VAT if you are registered. They also offer general financial guidance to help your business grow.
Why should I use a certified accountant instead of doing my own tax return?
A certified accountant, such as one with ACCA or ICAEW qualifications, has in-depth knowledge of HMRC rules and tax legislation. They can identify deductions you might miss, reduce the risk of errors that trigger investigations, and save you valuable time. Their expertise ensures your tax return is accurate and submitted on time, giving you peace of mind.
How do I choose the right accountant for my sole trader business?
Look for an accountant who is registered with a recognised body like ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Consider their experience with sole traders, their fee structure, and whether they offer the services you need, such as VAT or bookkeeping. Reading client reviews and arranging an initial consultation can help you assess if they are a good fit.
What is the difference between a chartered accountant and a certified accountant?
Chartered accountants are typically members of ICAEW or ICAS, whilst certified accountants are usually ACCA members. Both are highly qualified and regulated, with rigorous training and ongoing professional development. The main difference lies in their awarding body and specific areas of specialism. Both can effectively handle your sole trader tax affairs.
Can an accountant help me with VAT registration and returns?
Yes, an accountant can assist with VAT registration, advise on the best scheme for your business, and prepare your VAT returns. They ensure you comply with HMRC regulations, correctly calculate your VAT liability, and claim input tax on eligible purchases. This is particularly valuable if your turnover approaches the VAT threshold.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant?
You should keep records of all income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, bank statements, and any records of personal money used in the business. If you have a vehicle, keep a mileage log. Your accountant will need this information to prepare your tax return accurately and to support any claims you make.
