Frequently asked questions
What does a fixed fee accountant cover?
A fixed fee accountant typically covers services such as annual accounts preparation, tax return filing, VAT returns, and payroll processing for a single agreed price. The exact scope depends on your business size and needs, but the fee remains constant throughout the year, providing predictable costs.
How do I know if an accountant is qualified?
Qualified accountants hold recognised accreditations from professional bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. You can verify their status by checking the register on the relevant body's website. AccountingFirms lists only regulated professionals, so you can browse with confidence knowing each firm meets strict standards.
Can a fixed fee accountant help with HMRC investigations?
Yes, many fixed fee accountants offer support during HMRC investigations as part of their service package. This may include reviewing your records, preparing responses to HMRC queries, and representing you at meetings. It is important to confirm this coverage in your engagement letter before signing.
What is the difference between ACCA and ICAEW accountants?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are prestigious accountancy bodies. ACCA has a global focus and is popular in commerce and industry, whilst ICAEW is highly regarded in practice and audit. Both require rigorous training and exams, and either qualification ensures your accountant is professionally regulated and competent.
Do I need an accountant for Self Assessment?
You are not legally required to use an accountant for Self Assessment, but many people find it beneficial. An accountant ensures your tax return is accurate, identifies allowable expenses, and helps you meet HMRC deadlines. This reduces the risk of penalties and can save you money through proper tax planning.
How often should I meet with my fixed fee accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your business complexity and needs. Many fixed fee arrangements include quarterly or bi-annual reviews, plus ad-hoc support via phone or email. Regular contact helps your accountant stay informed about your financial situation and provide timely advice throughout the year.
