1. Can you act as my Accountant, even though I am not based
near?
Yes.
As long as we are able to physically meet with you at least once
initially, to comply with the proof of identification requirements
of the current Money Laundering Regulations, we can act for you
remotely. With the advances in modern communication technology,
most communications can be achieved by use of the telephone, e-mail
and normal mail.
2. How much would it cost me each year for you to look
after my accounts and tax?
We
charge our fees based on the time we spend on your affairs and the
levels of skill and responsibility involved. As the requirements of
no two clients are identical, neither are the fees. We would be
pleased to quote in advance for our services, during a free initial
consultation with you.
3. How do I switch from my current Accountant to Smart
Accounting Ltd?
We
are required by the ethical guidelines of our ACCA to follow a
prescribed procedure before accepting such new work:
- You
should inform your existing Accountant of the proposed
change.
- You
should then supply us with the contact details of this
Accountant.
- We
shall then formally write to him regarding your decision to change
accountant.
- The
existing accountant is under a professional duty to reply to this
request & advise us accordingly.
- Assuming
we are satisfied then we can properly accept
appointment.
4. Why should I choose smart accounting ltd instead of
another firm of Accountants?
Some
of the key features of our service, which we pride ourselves on,
include:
- We
believe that the success of, both, our clients and ourselves is
linked to the quality of the relationship between our staff and our
clients.
- We
are a small sized firm. but can provide the same services as
offered by the larger Accountancy firms, but at a more affordable
levels of fees.
- Although
we act for numerous multi-million pound turnover businesses and
various specialist organisations, our client base has traditionally
been biased towards SME owner managed businesses and the
individuals behind them. We therefore intimately understand how
such businesses work, what their aspirations are and how they
require our help with taking away the worry of compliance matters
and in minimising their tax payments.
- As a
firm which has been trading since 2000, We uphold the traditional
disciplines of first rate client service and professional ethics,
whilst also embracing the new advances that the 21st Century offers
through computerisation and communication. In addition, we are only
too aware that in this modern world, everything changes quickly,
and businesses must continually evolve in order to survive and
prosper.
- As a
firm, we experience high levels of staff continuity. As a client,
this means that you will have faith that your contact person will
possess knowledge of your affairs which dates back years. This
means that you will not have to waste time explaining past events
and that our advice will be tailored to your past
actions.
