Checking qualifications and regulation

Most reputable accountants belong to a professional body such as the ICAEW, ACCA, AAT or CIMA, and members must follow set standards and hold professional indemnity insurance. Any firm that gives tax advice must be supervised for anti-money laundering purposes, either by their professional body or by HMRC. If you need audited accounts, check that the practice is a registered auditor, and ask whether they hold agent authorisation to deal with HMRC on your behalf.

Choosing the right practice for your needs

Consider whether you need one-off help, such as a single tax return, or ongoing support with bookkeeping and payroll throughout the year. Ask how fees are charged, whether fixed monthly or by the hour, and confirm which software they use, as Making Tax Digital requires compatible records for VAT and, in stages, for income tax. A local practice in Milton Keynes or a nearby town can be useful for face to face meetings, though many now work remotely with cloud accounting tools such as Xero, QuickBooks or Sage.

Do I need an accountant to file a tax return?

No, you can file a Self Assessment return yourself through HMRC. Many people use an accountant to save time, reduce errors and check they are claiming the allowances and expenses they are entitled to, particularly if they are self employed or run a limited company.

What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?

A bookkeeper records day to day transactions such as sales, purchases and bank entries. An accountant uses those records to prepare statutory accounts and tax returns, and to give advice on tax and business matters. Some practices offer both services under one roof.
