Asprey’s has taken a very stressful part of the business and made it completely streamlined. The peace of mind we have is totally priceless. We can’t thank them enough!

Having used Duncan Finn from his early days as a sole accountant, I have been using Aspreys for a few years. I have valued his advice and the service that Aspreys offer. I particularly want to give a shout out to Claire Sandhu who is always bright, cheerful and friendly. She is also very professional in her approach and her customer service is exemplary.

When you start a business, accounting is never really a priority. As you are probably focusing and getting the business of the ground. Overlooking your accountant/accounting could be a mistake easily avoidable though. After a few chaotic years…to say the least. I made contact with a few different accounting firms and I am glad I picked Aspreys. Daniel was my first point contact, he was calm and reassuring. Well over 1 year down the line I do not regret. The whole team is there to take the hassle away from me. I only see the important information and they are always ahead of the game. I work closely with Rhiannon and with Claire they are providing an outstanding service. I know I am in safe hands this mean I can focus on the business…

Frequently asked questions

Limited Company or Soletrader?

We often get asked what is the right structure when starting out. There are many questions we will ask in our consultations to assess the suitable structure for you.

Sole Traders will pay tax on their business profits at the personal tax rates, whereas Limited company owners will tend to have a basic salary and take the rest of their income through the form of “dividends”, after the company has paid any corporation tax due.

Dividends do not attract national insurance contributions and are taxed at different rates. So it tends to be the higher level of incomes that are more suitable to Limited company structures as they are more tax efficient.

How detailed does my business plan have to be?

There are some great business plan templates online or our template which we’ve created within our own resources. If this is your first time creating a business plan, we recommend using a template as guidance.

The famous saying, “fail to plan, then plan to fail” is certainly true, and the more detail you include within your plan, the more it will help you throughout. It’s important to continuously review, reflect and update with changing times. Also, if you require a form of investment or borrowing, the more detailed the plan, the more confidence you will be able to give investors and lenders. Our virtual FDs would be happy to discuss all aspects of your business plan and help you to get the right KPIs in place to track your progress.

How easy is it to switch accountants to Aspreys?

We manage the entire handover process and it couldn’t be easier. All you need to do is let your current accountants know you’re moving to Aspreys, giving them permission to release information to us. And then leave it to our client onboarding team to manage.

Don’t worry we’re in a professional industry, your accountants won’t hate you & will still talk to you afterwards. We recommend just thanking them for their efforts to assist with a smooth handover.

What accounts need to be filed for a limited company?

Limited companies must legally file annual accounts and the confirmation statement with Companies House. The annual reports include a balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and notes providing additional details about the business’s financial performance. Additionally, limited companies must file a corporation tax return with HM Revenue and Customs, which includes details of the company’s taxable profits and any tax owed.

Do I need an accountant for my limited company?

Although hiring an accountant is not legally required for Limited Companies, having a qualified accountant can provide you with valuable advice and support for making informed financial decisions and maximising your profitability. An accountant will ensure that you are compliant with HMRC and Companies House and that you are fulfilling all tax requirements whilst remaining tax efficient.

Do I need to consider VAT?

You will need to register for VAT when your business sales exceed 85K in vatable supplies, within the preceding 12 months. There’s various different rates to types of supplies, but don’t worry, we complete a full review and put forward a recommended plan during your consultation.

There are various advantages and disadvantages to voluntary registration, which we will discuss. It may be advantageous not to register straight away based on your end consumer, or disadvantageous in some instances as they will be aware you are a start-up/small business.

Which software should I use?

We’re both Xero and Quickbooks specialists, however there’s various additional software on the market that integrates with your accounting software to make your life easier and enhance reporting. During your consultation, we will review your industry and advise the software we recommend to include with your proposal.

I’m not sure what services I need?

If you are unsure what services you might need for your company, you can view some of our most popular services at the top of the page. Or get touch with us to arrange a free 15 minute consultation. Our qualified accountants would be happy to talk through our services in more detail and discuss your business plans.

Do I need a business bank for a limited company?

As a limited company, having a separate business bank account is recommended. This helps keep your personal and business finances separate and makes tracking your company’s financial transactions easier. It can also make accounting and tax preparation less complicated. While it is not a legal requirement, having a business bank account is a good business practice.

Which accounting software should I use to do my accounts for limited companies?

Some popular accounting software options for limited companies include Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and FreeAgent. Researching and comparing features, pricing, and user reviews is essential before selecting the software best suited for your needs. Consulting with an accountant or financial advisor can also provide valuable insights and guidance in choosing the right accounting software. Speak to one of our tech advisers today!
