Sole Trader, Why you should use an Accountant

28 - 04 - 2021

When it comes to big decisions in life, we usually have a lot of questions. This is definitely the case when it comes to deciding on working for yourself. Whatever reason prompts you; you want to know how to do it right.



Many inquiries we receive all feature the same questions:

 

·         How will I keep records?

·         How do I charge/invoice?

·         How much tax will I pay?

·         What about expenses?

·         How much would professional advice cost when I need it?

 

A good step would be choosing an accountant who understands what you want as a service, they know how your industry works, and provide timely advice to keep you up to date.

 

Accountancy services come in all shapes and sizes.  First of all, check that your accountant is qualified and regulated. You wouldn’t choose an unqualified solicitor or surgeon so why settle for an unqualified accountant?

Next, find an accountant who understands your small business, when you have an initial conversation, ask how their client base is structured.

 

Specialist accountants, like Foremans LLP, who are ICAEW regulated, are able to advise you on keeping your company running successfully throughout the financial year, and keep you compliant
