    Frequently asked questions

    Do you offer bookkeeping across Bedfordshire?+

    Yes. As well as Leighton Buzzard, we look after businesses in Bedford, Dunstable, Milton Keynes and throughout Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Most bookkeeping runs in the cloud, so we keep your records up to date wherever you are, and we're happy to meet in person when it helps.

    Do I need to be VAT registered?+

    You must register for VAT once your taxable turnover passes the HMRC threshold (£90,000 in a rolling 12-month period), but you can also register voluntarily if it benefits you. We'll review your position and advise whether and when registration makes sense.

    Which bookkeeping software do you use?+

    We work with the leading cloud accounting platforms — Xero and QuickBooks — and can set you up from scratch so you can see your numbers any time. Cloud records also keep you compliant with Making Tax Digital.

    How often will you do my bookkeeping?+

    Whatever fits your business — weekly, monthly or quarterly. We'll recommend a rhythm based on your transaction volumes and VAT obligations.

    Do you prepare and file my VAT returns?+

    Yes. We prepare and submit your VAT returns to HMRC under Making Tax Digital, advise on the best VAT scheme (standard, flat rate or cash accounting), and make sure everything is filed on time.
