Why choose Easy Accountancy?

Rather than an annual fee and unknown extra charges throughout the year, we offer all our clients a low cost all-inclusive fixed monthly fee, so you never have to worry about calling your accountant and being charged additional fees.

If you’re a freelancer or sole trader, for £30 plus VAT per month we cover all your business and personal tax needs including:

  • Proactive, ongoing tax advice throughout the year
  • Year-end accounts
  • Help dealing with Inland Revenue
  • Personal taxation
  • Free bookkeeping software
  • Unlimited telephone and email access to your accountant for advice 

If you run a small business, for £105 plus VAT we’ll tailor our service to meet your needs. Every small company is different and, as accountants, we know that you’ll need peace of mind about your finances. We’ll look after all your accountancy needs, leaving you free to run your business. For more information about the services we offer for SMEs, visit our Small to Medium sized Businesses page.

The most daunting thing when freelancing or running your own business can be finding an accountant. At first glance it’s easy, you go down to your local high street accountant who quotes you anything from £250 to £600 plus VAT to do your end of year accounts for you.

This sounds great, however what happens if you want to speak to your accountant for advice throughout the year on things like:

  • Expenses
  • Tax allowances
  • Take home pay
  • How much you should put aside for your tax bill
  • Whether you should register for the Flat Rate VAT scheme
  • If going limited would be beneficial
  • If you have a life plan and wish to go travelling, what’s the most tax efficient way to run your business?

Each time you pick up the phone it is likely you will get charged. In fact, every time your accountant sends you a letter you might be charged - and you may even get charged if you call to query your invoice! So by the end of the year you could easily be looking at a bill of over £1,800. Accountants, just like you, have to account for their time and typically charge in six minute slots - and once the time gets to an hour they'll usually send an invoice.

It’s no surprise that most freelancers and small business owners soon stop calling their accountant and instead seek advice from friends, family and colleagues, which is not an ideal situation considering the complicated rules surrounding tax.

This is where Easy Accountancy fits in. We don’t want our clients to be scared to contact us and potentially lose out on valuable tax saving advice. It’s even more important when you first start out, as you really need to set your business up in the best way possible. As a start up you’ll probably have loads of questions and will really appreciate the fact you can call your accountant as many times as you like, without the fear of racking up large bills.
