The most daunting things when freelancing or running your own business can be getting an accountant. At first glance it’s easy, you go down to your local high street accountant who quotes you anything from £250 - £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
- Should you register for the Flat Rate VAT scheme
- Would going limited 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 may 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 6 minute slots, 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 the 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.
