We register as agents online with HMRC and you receive an authorisation code in the post. Once you provide us with this code we complete the setup and become your registered agents with HMRC. This allows us to speak to HMRC on your behalf. We need to setup as agents for each service i.e. VAT, PAYE, Corporation Tax, Personal Tax.

No. We take care of everything for you. As agents we will get a copy of most HMRC correspondence, but Companies House correspondence will go to the registered office address so just make sure you forward any correspondence to us as soon as you receive it and we will deal with it.

The proposal sets out the agreed level of service and we include answers to quick frequently asked questions within your fee. However as your business grows and the level of support and advice increases we would revise the proposal inline with the support you need. For example if the number of transactions increase extensively, headcount increase for payroll etc.

There may be occasions where you need one-off pieces of work completed in addition to the initial proposal, such as stock transfers, adding new directors, support with mortgage applications. A cost for this support will be agreed in advance.

Yes. We can provide face to face or if you are more tech savvy we can arrange a webinar. We design each session into focus areas that are no longer than 1 hour to make sure you are not overloaded with new skills and you get the most from each session.

Easy – you just need to take a photo of the receipt or invoice using the AutoEntry app on your phone and it will be uploaded and processed to Xero.

If you take out our fee protection service this covers the cost of us defending you against HMRC enquiries. We are backed by an insurance provider which pays us for the fees you ordinarily would have to pay for. The best bit of all is there is no excess to pay and if you take out a company scheme it also covers you personally as a director. This is tax deductible and you can reclaim the VAT on our fee.

We will provide you with due dates when we send the accounts to you for approval. You can also see your due dates within your Client Portal so you do not forget.

No but we can arrange for a virtual office address at another location.

We can get you setup on our system very quickly. What takes the time is getting the HMRC authorisation codes by post (around 7 days) and receiving professional clearance from your previous accountant.
