Frequently Asked Questions

  • An accountant offers a wide range of essential services for small businesses that go beyond just filing tax returns. They help with bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, self-assessment, and year-end accounts.

    More strategically, accountants provide financial planning advice, cash flow forecasting, and assistance with budgeting and cost control. For limited companies, an accountant ensures that all statutory obligations, including Companies House filing and Corporation Tax submissions, are met accurately and on time.

    Working with an accountant can also help identify areas where you can save money, remain tax efficient, and make informed decisions that support business growth.
  • While accounting software like Xero and QuickBooks has made it easier to manage finances, an accountant brings added value through expertise and strategic insight.

    Software can track income and expenses, but it doesn’t replace professional judgement, especially when it comes to tax planning, interpreting financial reports, or navigating HMRC compliance. Accountants also ensure you're claiming all available deductions, staying within regulatory frameworks, and submitting returns correctly and on time.

    At Pulse Accountants, we can even manage your accounting software for you, provide training, or offer advice on how best to use it in conjunction with our services.
  • Bookkeeping and accounting are closely linked but serve different functions. Bookkeeping is the process of recording daily financial transactions—sales, purchases, receipts, and payments.

    It's the foundation of accurate financial reporting. Accounting, on the other hand, uses that recorded information to produce financial statements, offer insights into business performance, and ensure compliance with tax and regulatory requirements.

    Both are essential. Without bookkeeping, your accounts will be inaccurate; without accounting, your financial data lacks context and strategic value. At Pulse Accountants, we offer both services to give our clients complete financial clarity and control.
  • A good accountant doesn’t just prepare your tax returns—they help you plan ahead to legally minimise your tax liabilities.

    This can include advising on allowable expenses, capital allowances, pension contributions, tax-efficient investments, and structuring your income through dividends and salary.

    For businesses, we can also advise on VAT schemes, R&D tax credits, and tax planning around major purchases or investments. Pulse Accountants tailors tax strategies based on your unique circumstances, ensuring you're not overpaying tax and staying fully compliant with HMRC regulations. The savings we help you achieve often far outweigh the cost of our services.
  • You must register for VAT if your business turnover exceeds the current VAT threshold set by HMRC, which is £90,000 as of 2024.

    However, you can also register voluntarily below this threshold, which may be beneficial in certain circumstances—especially if you deal with other VAT-registered businesses. Once registered, you’ll need to charge VAT on eligible sales, submit regular VAT returns, and pay any VAT owed to HMRC.

    There are various schemes available, such as the Flat Rate Scheme or Cash Accounting Scheme, which might suit your business better. Pulse Accountants can guide you on registration and manage your VAT returns on your behalf.
  • Forming a limited company offers several benefits, including limited liability protection, potential tax efficiencies, and enhanced professional credibility.

    As a sole trader, you're personally liable for your business’s debts, whereas a limited company is a separate legal entity. This means your personal assets are usually protected. Additionally, a limited company can be more tax-efficient, especially when profits exceed a certain threshold, as you can pay yourself via a combination of salary and dividends.

    However, it also comes with more regulatory responsibilities. At Pulse Accountants, we can help you weigh the pros and cons and even assist with company formation if it’s the right move.
  • The frequency of meetings with your accountant depends on the complexity and scale of your business, but it’s wise to touch base at least quarterly.

    These meetings are not just for reviewing your books—they’re strategic check-ins to assess financial performance, manage cash flow, ensure tax efficiency, and plan for future growth. Pulse Accountants offers tailored service packages, so whether you need ongoing monthly support or just an annual review, we can match your needs.

    Regular communication ensures that any issues are spotted early and that you’re always making informed decisions based on up-to-date financial data.
  • Missing a tax deadline can lead to fines, interest charges, and additional scrutiny from HMRC. For example, late submission of a Self Assessment tax return results in an automatic £100 penalty, with further fines accruing over time.
    BR>Late VAT returns or Corporation Tax payments can also trigger penalties and damage your compliance record. An accountant ensures all your deadlines are met and helps manage your obligations efficiently.

    At Pulse Accountants, we set up reminders, track deadlines, and prepare your returns well in advance—giving you peace of mind and avoiding unnecessary costs or complications with HMRC.
  • Making Tax Digital (MTD) is a government initiative aimed at making the UK tax system more efficient and easier to manage.

    It requires businesses and individuals to keep digital records and use compatible software to submit tax returns. MTD currently applies to VAT-registered businesses and will soon be extended to income tax for self-employed individuals and landlords earning over £50,000.

    Pulse Accountants helps clients stay compliant by setting them up with MTD-compatible software, offering training, and managing digital submissions. We ensure you're ready for each stage of MTD, keeping your business ahead of regulatory changes and avoiding penalties.
  • The cost of accountancy services varies depending on the size of your business and the level of support you require. For example, basic services like tax return preparation may start from a few hundred pounds, while full-service packages for growing companies may be higher.

    At Pulse Accountants, we offer transparent, fixed-fee pricing tailored to your needs—no surprise bills or hidden costs. Many clients find that the time and money saved through proper tax planning, accurate record keeping, and strategic advice more than justifies the investment.

    Ultimately, working with an accountant provides peace of mind, compliance, and confidence in your financial future.
