    Frequently asked questions

    What services do our accountants and tax advisers offer?

    Our accountants and tax advisers support businesses and individuals with annual accounts, corporation tax, Self Assessment, VAT, payroll, management accounts, tax planning, R&D tax credits and specialist UK and US tax matters. We tailor our advice to your circumstances rather than offering a one-size-fits-all service.

    Do I need an accountant if I’m self-employed?

    You are not normally required to appoint an accountant, but professional support can save time, help you meet HMRC requirements and ensure you claim the expenses and tax reliefs available to you. Our accountants can also help you decide whether remaining a sole trader or forming a limited company is appropriate.

    When should I appoint an accountant for my business?

    It is worth speaking to an accountant when you start trading, employ staff, register for VAT, form a limited company or become unsure about your tax responsibilities. Working with accountants and tax advisers early can help you avoid errors and build better financial processes from the beginning.

    Do I need an accountant for a limited company?

    Using an accountant is not generally a legal requirement, but most limited companies benefit from professional support. We can prepare annual accounts, submit corporation tax returns, support Companies House filings and advise on tax-efficient remuneration for directors.

    How can your tax advisers help my business?

    Our tax advisers review your business structure, profits, investments and future plans to identify legitimate tax-planning opportunities. This may include available reliefs, capital allowances, remuneration planning, R&D tax credits and advice about growing, reorganising or selling your business.

    When must I submit my Self Assessment tax return?

    Online Self Assessment returns must usually be submitted by 31 January following the end of the relevant tax year. Preparing early gives you more time to understand the amount due, correct missing information and plan for payment. View the assessment here

    Should I operate as a sole trader or limited company?

    The best structure depends on your expected income, business risks, administrative responsibilities and long-term plans. Our accountants and tax advisers can explain the tax and practical implications of each option so you can make an informed decision.

    Can Phinch help with both UK and US tax?

    Yes. Phinch provides UK tax advice alongside specialist support for US citizens, Green Card holders and people with US income or assets. Our tax advisers can help you understand your reporting responsibilities and coordinate UK and US tax matters where they overlap.

    Can you help me switch accountants?

    Yes. Changing accountants is usually straightforward. Once appointed, we can contact your previous accountant, request the necessary professional information and help transfer your records with minimal disruption.
