When you hire a qualified and certified accountant, you reduce risk by relying on their expertise in the complexities of regulations, compliance, and taxation. In addition, accountants can provide wider support such as budgeting and forecasting, as well as traditional services including statutory accounts, company tax returns, and payroll.

GET YOUR BUSINESS OFF THE GROUND

Hiring an accountant for your small business is a business decision, not a lifestyle choice. Do not let bookkeeping distract you from your core work. Engaging an accountant early helps you focus on growing your business.

Whether you have been wanting to start your own business for years, or had a sudden bright idea, read our start-up checklist of the most important things to think about when setting up a business. 


There is no legal requirement to use an accountant or tax adviser for any kind of business, but it can make life much easier – particularly when it comes to the hefty additional admin requirements for a limited company.

If you run a small business or you are self-employed, having an accountant can bring some advantages. Having an accountant frees up your time so you can focus on your business. An accountant can handle key functions such as bookkeeping, and filing your company and HMRC returns on time.

Owner-managed businesses often do their own accounting and bookkeeping to try and save money. When it backfires, they come to small-business specialist. He explains why you need to get an accountant or bookkeeper, and how to get the best value out of using one.

You can get help if you do not understand something about your tax, for example, tax returns, allowances and tax codes. 


Get help from HMRC

For simple queries, you can contact HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).


If you are on a low income

If HMRC cannot help and you are on a low income (up to about £380 a week), you may be able to get free professional advice. This includes help with filling in forms and what to do if you owe money to HMRC.


Get help from family or friends

You can give permission to a friend or family member (a ‘trusted helper’) to deal with HMRC on your behalf for things like viewing your Income Tax estimate, talking to HMRC or helping you to fill in forms.


Hiring a professional

An accountant or tax adviser may be able to help you with your tax. You will need to authorise an accountant or tax adviser to deal with HMRC for you.
