FAQs

Questions before choosing an accountant?

I already have an accountant. How difficult is it to switch?

Far easier than most people expect, and you do not need to have an awkward conversation with your current accountant. Once you tell us you would like to move, we write to them directly with a professional clearance letter, request your records and handle the entire handover ourselves.

You can switch at any point in the year, though moving just after a year end is usually the tidiest. Providing that the information we require is readily available, most changeovers are complete within a few weeks and there is nothing for you to chase.

Are you actually chartered accountants?

Yes, the practice itself is an ICAS (Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland) registered chartered accounting practice. Additionally, we employ staff at different levels of experience ranging from trainee accountants to those who are fully ICAS or ACCA qualified.

This matters more than most business owners realise. In the UK, “accountant” is not a protected title. Anyone can call themselves one, with no qualification, no regulator and no professional indemnity insurance behind them. Chartered accountants are examined, regulated, insured and answerable to a professional body. If something goes wrong, you have somewhere to go.

What happens at a first meeting, and does it cost anything?

The first conversation is free and there is no obligation whatsoever.

We are completely flexible in terms of the format of the meeting and are willing to visit you at your place of work, host you at our office, or arrange a video or telephone meeting if this is more convenient.

We listen first and advise second. We will want to understand what the business does, where you want to take it, and what is currently frustrating you, before we say a word about services or fees. You will leave knowing what we would recommend and what it would cost. No pressure, and no jargon.

How much does an accountant cost?

It depends on the size and complexity of your affairs, so we will always quote you based on your individual circumstances.

Depending on the scope and nature of services required we offer both fixed fee and variable rate (time-based) charging mechanisms for clients. Often we apply a variable rate in the first year, and then give clients the option of a fixed rate service in future years when we better understand your business and requirements.
