Some of our most frequently asked questions!

Depending on the service we provide, we look at several factors, especially the number of transactions and the quality of your systems and processes.

  Key items are VAT receipts and invoices. We will show you the best way to get information into the system and to us.   

Yes, we can run your payroll if you have an accounts package with us. However, we don’t provide standalone payroll services.

Yes, we can file returns to your pension provider. If you don’t have a provider, we can help you set up an account.

For our accountancy services, we focus on Xero. All our team members are Xero certified.

Probably! Xero integrates with over 1000 apps - everything from point of sale to job management. Check out the Xero App Store. We can recommend a suitable integration or explain how to transfer data if a direct integration isn’t available.

Yes, if we agree that Xero is a suitable option, we will set it up for you.

The best time is at your year-end. If that’s not suitable, we can switch at the end of a VAT quarter or month.

We will provide training to you, and any members of staff that work for you in an accounting function, on how to use Xero and any other systems required. 

A bank feed is a direct link between your business bank account and Xero. It pulls all your transactions into Xero so they can be matched/reconciled against relevant VAT receipts or sales invoices. Bank feeds are available for all the major high street banks and challenger banks.

Yes, we can prepare your self-assessment tax return and provide personal tax advice if you have a business accounts package with us. However, we don’t provide standalone self-assessment services. This is because our focus is helping business owners get the most out of their business.

We will respond within two working days, often quicker. You won’t receive any surprise bills! That’s because we want to hear your news and questions. So, whether you’re looking into a company vehicle, have received a letter from HMRC, or are unsure about something on Xero, we’d love to hear from you.

Any additional scope or work will be discussed in advance, and if there is a need for an additional fee, this will be agreed before any work is done.
