Frequently asked questions
What should I look for in a startup accountant?
You should look for an accountant who is qualified with a recognised body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. They should have experience working with new businesses and offer services like tax return preparation, VAT registration, and Corporation Tax advice. A good startup accountant will also provide proactive guidance on cash flow and business structure.
How can an accountant help with HMRC matters?
An accountant can handle all correspondence with HMRC on your behalf, from registering your business for tax to filing your annual returns. They ensure your Self Assessment and Corporation Tax submissions are accurate and submitted on time, reducing the risk of penalties. They can also represent you during any HMRC enquiries or inspections.
Do I need a chartered accountant for my startup?
While not strictly necessary, a chartered accountant (ACCA or ICAEW) brings a high level of expertise and credibility. They are held to strict ethical and professional standards. For most startups, a qualified accountant with relevant experience is sufficient, but a chartered professional can offer deeper strategic advice and reassurance to investors.
What is the difference between a tax return and Self Assessment?
A tax return is the formal document you submit to HMRC detailing your income and expenses. Self Assessment is the system used by HMRC for individuals to report their tax liabilities. For most sole traders and company directors, completing a Self Assessment tax return each year is a legal requirement to calculate how much tax you owe.
Can an accountant help me register for VAT?
Yes, an accountant can advise you on whether you need to register for VAT based on your turnover. They will handle the registration process with HMRC and help you decide on the best VAT scheme for your business, such as the Flat Rate Scheme or Annual Accounting Scheme. They can also prepare and submit your VAT returns.
How often should I meet with my startup accountant?
It is advisable to meet with your accountant at least quarterly, especially during your first year of trading. Regular meetings help you review your financial performance, plan for tax payments, and address any issues early. Many accountants also offer monthly check-ins or ongoing support via phone and email to keep your finances on track.
