Online accountants vs the high street

Derry Downs business advisory FAQs
How is this different from just talking to my accountant?
Compliance accounting answers 'what happened and what's owed'. Advisory answers 'what should I do next' — with preparation, analysis of your actual figures, and a written recommendation. It's a different service with a different fee, deliberately fixed so you're not watching a clock.
What if you think my plan is a bad idea?
We'll say so, with the numbers that say why, and usually an alternative. A £149 session that stops a £30,000 mistake is the best return we offer.
Do I need to be an existing client?
No — advisory sessions are open to any UK business. You'll share recent accounts and figures beforehand so the session starts informed.
Do I need to visit an office in Derry Downs?
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 Derry Downs or anywhere else in South East London.
I searched "business advisory near me" — is this service really local to Derry Downs?
Derry Downs 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 Derry Downs town centre or the edge of South East London. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my business advisory?
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.
Things worth knowing before your next filing
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.
If a return is late because HMRC asked for one you don't actually need, it can sometimes be withdrawn entirely — penalties included. And where there's a genuine reasonable excuse, appeals succeed more often than people expect. The wrong move is ignoring the letters.
Dividends can only be paid from accumulated profits, and paperwork matters: board minutes and dividend vouchers, dated correctly. "Illegal dividends" isn't dramatic language — overdrawn payments can be reclassified, with tax consequences, if the profits weren't there.
The businesses that struggle with tax bills rarely have a tax problem; they have a timing problem. Knowing the bill in September instead of January — which filing early gives you for free — is the difference between planning and scrambling.
VAT registration becomes compulsory once your taxable turnover in any rolling 12 months passes £90,000 — and "rolling" is the word that catches people, because it's not your accounting year. Businesses in Derry Downs growing towards that line should be watching it monthly.
Payments on account catch people out because the first year effectively bills you one-and-a-half years of tax at once. Knowing that in advance changes how you save through the year — and if profits fall, we can apply to reduce the July payment rather than lending HMRC money interest-free.
Good records aren't about neatness — they're about money: claims you can evidence, VAT you can reclaim, and an accountant who spends billable time on advice rather than sorting. Bank feeds plus a receipts app gets most small businesses to "tidy" in minutes a week.
Incorporation isn't a milestone, it's a calculation: corporation tax versus income tax and NICs, dividend taxation, what you need to draw versus what can stay in the company, and whether limited liability matters for your work. For some Derry Downs businesses it saves thousands; for others it's pure extra paperwork.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Derry Downs, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
