FAQs

A controlled VAT process from records to submission

How is this different from a typical shared accounting resource?

works exclusively for your practice, learns your systems and processes, and reports to you directly, rather than being shared across multiple firms through an account manager.

Whose systems and software will the team use?

software (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent and most MTD tools) and your file structure, so nothing changes for your clients.

How is pricing structured?

We use a transparent, fixed-fee model agreed upfront, with no hidden add-ons.

How long does onboarding take before a team member is productive?

Most practices see their new team member handling real client work within the first few weeks, following our structured Discovery, Matching and Onboarding process

What happens if a team member isn't the right fit?

We re-match you with another professional at no extra cost - the relationship is built to work for your practice long-term, not to lock you into a single person.

How do you keep client and practice data secure?

Every team member follows confidentiality agreements and ACCA-approved data-handling standards, using your systems only.

Can we scale the team up or down as our practice grows?

Yes. Practices typically start with one dedicated professional and add more as workload grows, with no long-term lock-in.
