Online accountants vs the high street

You get the same qualified work — minus the overheads, the travel and the surprises on the invoice.

Shirley e-commerce accountants FAQs
Amazon already collects VAT on some of my sales — what's left to do?
Marketplaces collect VAT in specific cases (like overseas sellers' UK sales), but UK-established sellers still account for VAT on most sales, reclaim input VAT, and must report everything correctly. Mixing up 'marketplace-collected' and 'seller-collected' revenue is the most common e-commerce VAT error we fix.
Why don't my bank deposits match my sales?
Because marketplaces deposit net settlements — sales minus fees, refunds, reserves and adjustments, across date boundaries. Proper e-commerce bookkeeping reconciles the settlement reports, not the bank line. That's exactly what we do monthly.
When should an online seller register for VAT?
At £90,000 of rolling 12-month taxable turnover — which growing sellers hit faster than they expect. Register late and the VAT comes out of your margin retrospectively. We monitor turnover monthly so registration happens on time, on purpose.
Do I need to visit an office in Shirley?
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 Shirley or anywhere else in South London.
I searched "e-commerce accounting near me" — is this service really local to Shirley?
Shirley 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 Shirley town centre or the edge of South London. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my e-commerce accounting?
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
The tax-free dividend allowance is down to £500, so almost any director taking dividends now pays some dividend tax — and needs a Self Assessment return to report it. The classic small-salary-plus-dividends strategy still works; it just needs actual planning rather than folklore.
The best time to switch is after a filing, but it works at any point in the year. What matters is not letting a looming deadline stop you: a new firm can usually pick up an in-flight year faster than you'd think.
HMRC requires records to be kept for at least five years after the filing deadline for the self-employed. Digital copies count. A cloud folder or app now beats a carrier bag of paper every time — for you and for any future enquiry.
Some businesses register for VAT before they must — reclaiming input VAT can be worth it if your customers are VAT-registered themselves. Others should stay below deliberately. It's a real decision with real numbers, not a formality.
Company deadlines run off your accounting year end, not the tax year: corporation tax is payable nine months and one day after year end, and the CT600 return is due twelve months after. Confusingly, the payment is due before the return — a sequencing quirk that catches new directors.
Compare accountants on the things that bite later: is the fee fixed and written down, what exactly is included, who does the work, how fast do they answer in January. Proximity to Shirley stopped being the differentiator the day filings went electronic.
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.
The honest answer changes with your profits. At lower profits, sole trader simplicity usually wins; as profits grow, a limited company's mix of salary and dividends, corporation tax rates and liability protection starts earning its extra admin. We run the actual numbers before recommending either.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Shirley, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
