Frequently asked questions
Are online accountants as good as local ones?▼
Reputable online accountants hold the same ICAEW and ACCA qualifications as local firms. They suit businesses comfortable with digital communication. Local firms may be better if you need regular face-to-face meetings.
How much do online accountants charge?▼
Online accountant packages start from £39 per month for sole traders and £83 per month for limited companies — often 10–20% less than equivalent local firm fees due to lower overheads.
What software do online accountants use?▼
Most use Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, or Sage Cloud — all MTD-compatible. Your accountant typically recommends software included in your package or available at a discount.
Can an online accountant handle VAT and payroll?▼
Yes. Online firms routinely handle MTD VAT returns, RTI payroll, and pension auto-enrolment as part of monthly packages or add-ons.
