Frequently asked questions
What does an accountant for sole traders do?
An accountant for sole traders manages your financial records, prepares your Self Assessment tax return, and ensures you meet HMRC deadlines. They also offer advice on allowable expenses, VAT, and tax planning. By handling your accounts, they help you avoid errors and penalties, allowing you to focus on running your business efficiently.
How do I choose a qualified accountant in Cobham?
Look for an accountant who is a member of a recognised professional body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. This ensures they have the necessary expertise and follow strict ethical guidelines. You can also check their experience with sole traders and read reviews from other clients. A good accountant will offer clear communication and proactive support.
What is the difference between an accountant and a bookkeeper?
A bookkeeper typically records daily financial transactions, such as sales and purchases, and may manage payroll. An accountant takes a broader role, analysing your financial data, preparing tax returns, and providing strategic advice. They can also help with VAT, Corporation Tax, and business planning. Many sole traders use both services, but an accountant is essential for complex tax matters.
How much does an accountant for a sole trader cost?
The cost varies depending on the complexity of your business and the services you require. Some accountants charge a fixed monthly fee, whilst others bill hourly or annually. On average, you might pay between £30 and £150 per month for basic services. It is important to request a quote and compare what is included in the price.
Can an accountant help me with HMRC investigations?
Yes, an experienced accountant can represent you during an HMRC investigation. They will help you gather the necessary documents, respond to queries, and negotiate on your behalf. Their knowledge of tax law and procedures can reduce stress and ensure you receive a fair outcome. Having professional support is invaluable if HMRC contacts you.
What records do I need to keep as a sole trader?
You must keep records of all income and expenses, including receipts, invoices, and bank statements. You should also record any money taken from the business for personal use. These records are needed to complete your Self Assessment tax return accurately. An accountant can advise on the best way to organise your records and ensure you are compliant with HMRC requirements.
