Frequently asked questions

Is requesting quotes really free?
Yes. Requesting and comparing quotes costs nothing and carries no obligation. You only ever pay a provider you choose to hire, on the terms you agree with them directly.
Do these services work for startups and new businesses?
Yes. Many providers offer startup packages covering company formation, registrations and first-year accounts, and getting the books right from day one is far cheaper than fixing them later.
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?
Bookkeepers handle day-to-day records: transactions, reconciliation and VAT-ready books. Accountants work on top of those records: year-end accounts, tax returns, planning and advice. Many businesses use both, and some firms provide the two together.
Do providers need to be based in Chelmsford?
Not usually. Cloud accounting and payroll software means many firms serve clients remotely, and quotes typically include providers covering Chelmsford from nearby towns as well as any local firms. Choose on price, specialism and reviews rather than postcode.
