Frequently asked questions

Do I really need an accountant as a sole trader?

Not legally — but you almost always pay less tax with one than without one. The expense review alone usually pays our fee several times over, and you get the deadline-management peace of mind for free.

How much does it cost?

New sole trader clients pay £49.50 per month for the first three months, then £99 per month. That covers your Self Assessment, expense review and unlimited same-day support — no hourly billing.

When should I switch to a limited company?

There's no fixed answer — it depends on profit, how you draw money, and your plans. Most sole traders consider it once net profit is around £40,000+ a year. We'll run the numbers for you honestly.

What records do I need to keep?

Income (invoices), business expenses (receipts), mileage if you use a vehicle, and bank statements. We'll show you a simple way to keep these — paper folder, spreadsheet or app — whatever suits you.

Can you take over from my current accountant?

Yes. We handle the entire switch — contacting them, requesting your records and notifying HMRC. It takes very little of your time.
