Frequently Asked Questions
These answers explain common accountancy questions and how to make an initial enquiry. Your responsibilities and the work required depend on your circumstances.
How do I choose an accountant in Birmingham?
Identify the work you need and ask what is included, what records you must provide, how communication will work and how fees are agreed. Check that the proposed service fits your business structure and responsibilities, and make sure you understand what remains your responsibility.
Can RSA Accountants help with company accounts?
Accounts preparation is a core RSA service. The records and work needed depend on the company and accounting period. Contact the practice with those details to discuss the scope.
Do you work with sole traders?
Yes. RSA Accountants works with sole traders as well as limited companies, businesses, directors and individuals. Contact the practice to discuss the accounting support you need.
Can you manage bookkeeping for my business?
Bookkeeping is a core service. The appropriate arrangement depends on the records, transaction volume and information exchange required. RSA can discuss your current process and the work involved.
Do you provide payroll services?
Payroll services are among the practice's core services. Discuss your payroll frequency, employee numbers and current arrangements with RSA to clarify the information and service required.
Can you help form a limited company?
Company formation is a core service. RSA can discuss the information required to form a company. Formation does not by itself mean a limited company is the right structure for your circumstances.
What information does my accountant need from me?
It depends on the work. Your accountant may need business details, financial records, invoices, statements, payroll information or prior accounts. Ask for a list specific to the agreed service, and use a secure method for sensitive documents.
How often should I speak to my accountant?
The right frequency depends on the services you use and how often you need financial information. Agree a communication routine that suits deadlines, reporting needs and the availability of your records.
