Commonly Asked Questions
I have been thinking about changing accountants. Is there not a lot of work involved to change over?
No, once you have decided to move to Goddard Solutions, you just need to let your current accountant know, and then pass their contact details on to us. Our team will then handle everything from there on, liaising directly with your current accountant for all the information required, and requesting to be your tax agent with HMRC. If you need to update to a Cloud based accounting system, we handle all the transfer of data, and training for you.
My business is very simple, so why do I need to use a Cloud Based Accountancy package?
Goddard Solutions know that a good quality Cloud Based Accounting system will save our clients significant time and effort. It also allows us to keep right up to date with our clients’ businesses, and to give the right advice at the right time. Each client is offered an online meeting where we show you how to use your book-keeping system and agree what we will do and what you are encouraged to do yourself. Our approach is to teach and to be here to help. Our aim is ensure that our clients fully understand their financials and are in control of the tax that they pay, and the live, up to date accounting records allows us to do this. Finally, and very importantly, with a new HMRC initiative, Making Tax Digital, just being implemented, soon all businesses will be required to hold their records digitally and report electronically to HMRC.
I run a London based business but I see Goddard Solutions are based in Scotland. Do you consider clients from across the UK?
Yes. We are a digital accountancy practice and encourage all our clients to keep secure Cloud Based Accounting records, which our team can access from anywhere. We also make full use of online communication channels – Skype, Go To Meeting, Email, electronic signing software, so our client location does not affect our ability to give our best service to all clients. As a regulated Chartered Accountancy practice, anti-money laundering controls are essential. For clients where we have not met face to face, a little more due-diligence is required but our standard processes make this straightforward.
