Online accountants vs the high street
Most local firms near Highbury West quote low, bill by the hour and reserve the right to charge for every phone call. Our model inverts that: the fee is fixed and written down before work begins, questions are part of the service rather than billable events, and everything happens online — the reason Highbury West pays the same as everywhere else.
There's no office to fund in Highbury West and no office to visit: records travel through our secure portal or WhatsApp, approvals happen on your phone, and filings go to HMRC and Companies House electronically. You get the same qualified work — minus the overheads, the travel and the surprises on the invoice.

Highbury West accounting software support FAQs
Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent — which should I pick?
It genuinely depends: FreeAgent suits contractors and is free with some business bank accounts; Xero scales best for growing businesses with staff and stock; QuickBooks sits between on price and features. We recommend against whatever doesn't fit — we don't earn from your subscription either way.
Can you migrate my history, or do I start from scratch?
History comes too: opening balances, customer and supplier records, unpaid invoices, and usually one to two years of transactions. The test of a good migration is that your first VAT return after the switch reconciles without drama — that's the standard we work to.
My software file is a mess — is it fixable or do we start over?
Almost always fixable, and usually cheaper than starting over. The typical repair: re-reconcile the bank from the last point it was right, fix miscoded VAT, archive the duplicate contacts, rebuild the chart of accounts. You get a file you can trust plus a note on what caused the drift.
Do I need to visit an office in Highbury West?
No — there's nothing to visit and nothing to print. We're an online firm: records go through our secure portal or WhatsApp, and everything is filed electronically. It works the same whether you're in Highbury West or anywhere else in North London.
I searched "accounting software support near me" — is this service really local to Highbury West?
Highbury West is fully covered, yes. The work is done online, which in practice means more local than an office: same-day replies instead of appointment slots, and the same published fixed fee whether you're in Highbury West town centre or the edge of North London. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my accounting software support?
Bohzo Accountants — a trading name of Bohzo Ltd, a registered UK company (No. 15031604). You get a named contact, a fixed fee in writing, and nothing is filed until you've reviewed and approved it.
How do your fixed fees work?
You tell us your situation, we quote one fixed price in writing before any work starts, and that price never changes mid-job. If your case is unusually complex we'll say so up front and agree a different fixed price — but the fee is always agreed before we begin, never after.
The short version of the rules that matter
Changing accountant mid-year is routine: you authorise the new firm, we write a professional clearance letter to the old one, records transfer, and HMRC authorisation moves online. Clients are usually surprised the whole thing needs almost nothing from them.
Selling online, freelancing on the side, renting out equipment — each can be a "trade" in HMRC's eyes once it's done with a profit motive. The good news: registering is straightforward, expenses become claimable, and done early it's a non-event.
Every tax bill is predictable months in advance — which makes tax the most plannable cost a business has. A separate tax savings account, fed a fixed percentage of every sale, converts January from a crisis into a transfer.
Register with HMRC by the 5 October after your first tax year of trading, open a separate business account, and put a fixed slice of every payment aside for tax. Do those three things and your first January will be boring — the good kind.
Ask any prospective accountant two questions: "what's included in the fee?" and "what costs extra?" The quality of those two answers predicts the whole relationship.
Miss 31 January and the £100 fine is automatic; three months later daily penalties start. If you're behind on a return, the maths almost always favours filing quickly over waiting — penalties grow on a timetable, and HMRC charges interest either way.
Most HMRC letters are routine — a statement, a code change, a reminder. The rule is simple: never ignore one, and never panic over one. Forwarded to your accountant the day it arrives, almost every letter is a five-minute job.
New companies often have a long first accounting period, which can mean two corporation tax returns for one set of accounts. It's normal, but it's exactly the kind of thing that's cheaper to get right first time than to unpick.
