Accountants who know your line of work
A GP at Watford General and a builder working across Garston have very different tax problems. So do a dentist in Bushey and a sound recordist on a long shoot at Leavesden. We match you with an accountant who already looks after people in your line of work, so you are not paying them to learn it.
How it works
You will not be passed around or sold to. You answer a few questions, and one accountant gets back to you.

How much does an accountant in Watford cost?
There is no single price, because the work varies so much. A one off tax return for someone with a bit of rental income is a small job. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll and year end accounts for a limited company on Clarendon Road is a much bigger one. Answer the questions in our quote form and a qualified accountant will look at your situation and give you a fixed fee before anything starts.
Are the accountants properly qualified?
Yes. Your enquiry goes to an ACCA qualified accountant. ACCA, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, is one of the main professional bodies for accountants in the UK, and its members must keep their training up to date every year.
I already have an accountant. How hard is it to move?
Not hard at all. Your new accountant contacts the old one for the records they need, which is a normal step called professional clearance. You do not need to have that conversation yourself, and nothing should fall through the gap.
Will I need to come into an office?
Usually not. Most clients across Watford and Hertfordshire send their records through cloud software and speak to their accountant by email or video. If you would rather sit down and go through something in person, that can be arranged.
Do you only work with people in Watford?
We are based on St Albans Road in Watford and work mostly with people in and around the town, including Bushey, Oxhey, Croxley Green, Rickmansworth, Abbots Langley, Kings Langley, Radlett, Borehamwood, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Harrow and Stanmore. Because so much of the work happens online, distance is rarely a problem.
I work freelance at the studios in Leavesden. Can you help?
Yes. Film and TV work often mixes payroll jobs with self employed contracts, plus kit, travel and long gaps between projects. An accountant who understands how that work is paid can keep your tax return accurate and make sure you claim what you are entitled to.
How quickly will someone get back to me?
An accountant will be in touch soon after you send your answers. If you are up against a deadline, such as a tax return due on 31/1, say so in the last box of the form so it can be dealt with first.
