Ilford accountancy questions
Do I need to visit your Ilford office?
No — we work with most clients entirely remotely using cloud accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage). For Ilford and surrounding-area clients who prefer in-person meetings, we welcome you to our office on Trelawney Road by appointment.
Do you work with sole traders and small limited companies in Ilford?
Yes. A large share of our Ilford client base are sole traders, contractors, and owner-managed limited companies — typically turning over between £20,000 and £500,000. We offer fixed-fee packages designed specifically for businesses at this stage.
Can you handle CIS returns for Ilford-based contractors?
Yes. Construction is a significant industry in IG postcodes — we handle monthly CIS returns, subcontractor verification, and tax reclaims for both contractors and subcontractors. See our dedicated CIS Scheme service for details.
How quickly can you onboard a new Ilford client?
Typical onboarding takes 5–7 working days from initial consultation to your file being fully set up and active. We handle 64-8 authorisation with HMRC, software setup, and historical data import as part of the package.
