Frequently asked questions
What qualifications should I look for in an accountant?
You should look for accountants who are members of recognised professional bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These qualifications ensure the accountant has undergone rigorous training and adheres to strict ethical and professional standards. Membership in these bodies also means the accountant must complete ongoing professional development to stay current with tax laws and regulations.
How can an accountant help with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can prepare and submit your Self Assessment tax return to HMRC accurately and on time. They will help you identify allowable expenses and reliefs you may have missed, potentially reducing your tax bill. They also handle correspondence with HMRC on your behalf and can advise on payments on account and capital gains tax liabilities.
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 members of ACCA. Both are highly qualified and regulated, but the training pathways differ slightly. ICAEW focuses more on practice and audit, whilst ACCA covers a broader range of business and finance topics. Both are recognised by HMRC and can provide the same core services.
Do I need an accountant if I am a sole trader?
While you can complete your own tax return, an accountant can save you time and money by ensuring you claim all allowable expenses and reliefs. They also help you avoid costly mistakes and HMRC penalties. Many sole traders find that the fee paid to an accountant is offset by the tax savings and peace of mind gained from professional advice.
How much does it cost to hire an accountant in Teignmouth?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of your affairs and the services required. A basic Self Assessment tax return may cost between £150 and £300, whilst ongoing business accounting can range from £50 to £150 per month. Many accountants offer a free initial consultation to discuss your needs and provide a fixed fee quote before you commit.
What records do I need to provide my accountant for a tax return?
You should provide your P60, P45, and any P11D forms if you are employed. For self-employment, you need records of all income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, bank statements, and mileage logs. If you have rental income, provide tenancy agreements and records of repairs and maintenance. Your accountant will advise on any additional documents required.
