Frequently asked questions
What qualifications should I look for in an accountant in Greater London?
Look for accountants with ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT accreditation. These qualifications demonstrate rigorous training and adherence to professional standards. Such accountants are equipped to handle HMRC filings, VAT, and Corporation Tax, ensuring your finances are managed correctly and compliantly.
How often should I submit a Self Assessment tax return?
Self Assessment tax returns must be submitted annually to HMRC by the deadline, typically 31 January for online filings. If you are self-employed, a company director, or have untaxed income, you are required to file each year. A qualified accountant can help you prepare and submit accurately.
Can an accountant help with VAT registration and returns?
Yes, accountants specialise in VAT registration, calculating VAT liabilities, and submitting quarterly returns to HMRC. They ensure you comply with thresholds and schemes, such as the Flat Rate Scheme, and can advise on reclaiming input VAT to improve your cash flow.
What is the difference between a chartered accountant and a certified accountant?
Chartered accountants are typically members of ICAEW, whilst certified accountants are members of ACCA. Both are highly qualified and regulated, but their training pathways differ. Both can provide audit, tax, and advisory services, and are recognised by HMRC for handling statutory accounts.
How do I choose the right accounting firm for my small business?
Consider the firm's experience with your industry, their fee structure, and client reviews. Look for ACCA or ICAEW accreditation and check if they offer services like payroll, bookkeeping, and tax planning. Meeting for an initial consultation helps assess their approach and compatibility with your business.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant?
You should retain receipts, invoices, bank statements, and payroll records. For limited companies, keep records of dividends, director loans, and share transactions. Your accountant will use these to prepare accurate accounts and tax returns, ensuring compliance with HMRC requirements.
