Questions before the first call

Are you qualified, and who regulates you?

Buzz Accounting is an AAT licensed practice and an ICPA member, registered in England and Wales, company number 15182358. Both are checkable on the AAT and Companies House registers. AAT licensing includes anti-money-laundering supervision, so we ask for photo ID and proof of address before we can act for you. Regulated financial advice comes from Equity & General Financial Services Limited, FCA No. 474163, and reserved legal work goes to RHF Solicitors.

How do I switch from my current accountant, and how long does it take?

Tell us to go ahead and we do the rest. We write to your existing accountant for professional clearance and your records, register as your agent with HMRC, and set up the software while we wait. Most handovers are done within a couple of weeks, and the bookkeeping and your questions start straight away. You can move at any point in the year; just after a year end is tidiest. Check the notice period in your existing engagement letter, and whether work you have already paid for has been done. How switching works.

How quickly will I get an answer when I ask something?

Get in touch before 3pm on a working day and we reply the same day. If something needs figures checked or a rule read properly, we tell you when you will have the answer. Questions are covered by the monthly fee.

Which accounting software do you work in?

FreeAgent is included in every package at no extra cost. We are a Xero Gold Partner, and we work in QuickBooks and Sage. If your current setup works and the records are clean, we work in it. When a move is right, opening balances and open items come across, and prior years stay readable in the old system. See the software comparison.
