You’ve set up your business, maybe got some customers, a bit of cash flowing in. And at some point you ask yourself: ‘When should I get an accountant?’
You’ve heard of them, you’re vaguely aware of things like accounts and tax returns, and you’ve had some letters through already from Companies House and HMRC. Still, it all seems like a long way off. Probably something you can put off until later, right?
That would be a mistake. Ideally, you should identify, chat with and appoint an accountant as soon as you can in the life of your business. An accountant will help you, right at the beginning, sort out:
- the best and most tax-efficient way to set up your business – a bit of work here can save you £hundreds or £thousands later
- whether you need to be VAT registered, and the best VAT scheme if you are
- PAYE registration, and auto-enrolment pension obligations
But it’s more than that. A good accountant is your sounding-board. They can bring valuable business expertise and experience to situations you may be unfamiliar with.
