How much does an accountant cost in Poole and Bournemouth?
It depends on what your business needs. We agree your services and a fixed monthly fee with you before we start, so you know the cost up front. Arrange a meeting and we'll send you a price.
Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes. Once you sign up we contact your previous accountant for the information we need, so you don't have to.
Do I have to come into the office?
No. You can meet us in person, by phone or on a video call. Day to day, you send records, approve your accounts and message us through your client portal.
Do I need to use Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?
Sole traders and landlords with self-employment and property income over £50,000 have needed to send quarterly updates since 6 April 2026. The threshold falls to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028.
When do I have to register for VAT?
You must register if your taxable turnover for the last 12 months goes over £90,000, or you expect it to go over £90,000 in the next 30 days on its own.
When is the Self Assessment deadline?
Online tax returns and any tax you owe are due by 31 January after the end of the tax year. If you pay payments on account, the second one is due by 31 July.
