The Online Accountants

Select the correct band by ensuring both your Sales and Gross Assets figures fall within the size criteria. We define Gross Assets as the maximum Fixed Assets plus Current Assets at any point in time during the year. No deduction from assets should be made for any liabilities such as mortgages, bank loans, directors loans or other creditors.

Small Company Example- Sales £25k Bank, Fixtures Fittings & Equipment £80k (Both figures below small threshold)

Medium Company Example- Sales £95k Bank, Computer Equipment & Plant & Machinery £50k (Sales Medium, Assets Small - Medium company needed due to sales larger than £30k)

Large Company Example- Property Rental Sales £20k Freehold Rental Property Cost £495k (Sales meets small company threshold but property value means that large company needs to be selected)

A good accountant will normally save you more in tax than you will incur on their fees. Tax law is complicated and knowing what you can and cannot claim for against your income is not always obvious. Consequently, the fees charged by accountants should be good value and will ensure that all allowances and exemptions have been properly claimed for.

Please see our pricing menu for full details, but generally online firms minimise their costs by not having as many fixed expenses such as office rent & rates they are in a better position to pass on the savings to you by way of lower accountancy fees. Expect to pay substantially less than high street based accountancy firms. Please also remember that cheap accountants are not necessarily the best solution for preparing your annual company accounts. You do get what you pay for and if your require a more thorough and timely service you should expect to pay just a little more.

Unfortunately the use of the term 'accountant' is not protected in UK law. You should ensure you use a CCAB qualified accountant. CCAB has five members - ICAEW, ACCA, CIPFA, ICAS and Chartered Accountants Ireland. Using an online firm is fast becoming a popular choice as more small limited company directors decide to complete their own bookkeeping using one of the widely available cloud accountancy packages.
