FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers — the kind we would want before choosing a firm.
Do you work with sole traders and limited companies?
Yes. We support both — and partnerships too. A short note on your structure and what you need helps us reply with next steps, not a script.

What is Making Tax Digital (MTD) — and do I need to think about it?
MTD is HMRC’s digital record-keeping and filing journey for VAT and (over time) other taxes. If it applies to you, we keep the process straightforward and aligned with your software and routines.

How do fees work?
Scope drives fees — we agree what “done” looks like up front. If you share what you need in your first message, we can be clearer faster when we respond.

Fit
Who we work best with
We grow slowly on purpose. The best relationships are ones where expectations match reality.
- Owners who want calm compliance, current numbers, and straight answers.
- Businesses that value continuity — the same people, the same standard.
- Teams stepping up from “year-end only” into reporting, MTD, or Fractional FD-style support.
We may not be the right fit if…
- You need a call centre, a 24-hour SLA, or the cheapest fee at any cost.
- You want aggressive schemes or “grey area” shortcuts — we will not play that game.
- You are looking for a volume factory — we stay selective so work stays hands-on.
If that sounds like you, you will still find accountants who suit — we would rather say no than disappoint you later.
