FAQs

Questions we're often asked.

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

Can you take over from my current accountant?

Yes. Changing accountants is simple: once you have appointed us, we contact your previous adviser for the professional clearance and information we need. You do not have to have an awkward conversation.

Do you only work with Sheffield businesses?

We are based in Sheffield and many of our clients are local, but we act for businesses and individuals across the UK. Much of our work can be done remotely using cloud software.

How are your fees worked out?

We agree fees up front, based on the work involved, so you know exactly what you will pay. Get in touch for a no-obligation quote.

Do I need to use Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?

It depends on your income from self-employment and property. It applies from April 2026 for qualifying income over £50,000, from April 2027 over £30,000 and from April 2028 over £20,000. We can check your position and set you up.
