Who we help: FAQs
Should I be a sole trader or a limited company?
It depends on your profit, plans and how you want to pay yourself. We compare both for your figures before you decide.
Do you work with businesses outside Manchester?
Yes. We work with clients across the UK online and by phone. Face-to-face meetings are at our Rochdale office by appointment.
Can you take over from my current accountant mid-year?
Yes. We contact your previous accountant for professional clearance and pick up your next deadlines.
Which accounting software do you support?
Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and Capium.
How much will it cost?
It depends on your business type and transaction volume. We give a fixed quote after a short call.
I'm an individual, not a business. Can you help?
