Why Heywood businesses pick Bohzo

Upload, approve, filed. The whole engagement runs from your phone or laptop, on your schedule rather than office hours.
Bohzo Accountants is a trading name of Bohzo Ltd, Company No. 15031604.
Every filing date that applies to you goes in our diary the day you join — and we chase the records, not the other way round.
Compare our fixed locum accountants fees
| Your situation | Fixed fee |
|---|---|

| Limited company locum: full compliance | £95/mo |

“From” pricing reflects the simplest case; anything more complex is quoted as a fixed fee in writing before work begins — and never changes after.
Online accountants vs the high street
Most local firms near Heywood quote low, bill by the hour and reserve the right to charge for every phone call. We work the other way round: one fixed fee agreed in writing before anything starts, every question included, and the whole engagement handled online — which is exactly why we can serve Heywood at fees a walk-in office can't match.
There's no office to fund in Heywood 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.
Locum Accountants in Heywood: from first message to filed
WhatsApp or the enquiry form — describe what you need and roughly what your records look like. Two minutes.
You get one written fixed price before anything begins — and if your case is unusual, we price that honestly up front.
Onboarding is a phone job: verify identity, sign the engagement letter, upload records. Nothing needs you to leave Heywood.
You review everything first. Then it goes to HMRC electronically and you get confirmation immediately.
The same service in Heywood as anywhere — by design
We built this service so that someone in Heywood never pays a premium — or accepts worse service — because of geography. Same specialists, same published fees, same speed, wherever in North West you are.
A lot of our North West clients switched from local firms after one too many surprise invoices. The fix wasn't a cheaper local firm; it was removing the billing model that produces surprises. Fixed fees, in writing, before the work — that's the whole trick.

Heywood locum accountants FAQs
Sole trader or limited company for locum work?
It depends on your day rate, session volume and pension priorities — NHS pension access often argues for sole-trader GP work, while non-pensionable and private work can favour a company. We'll model your actual mix rather than give a generic answer.
What expenses can locums claim?
Professional indemnity, GMC/GDC/GPhC registration, royal college fees, courses and CPD, travel between temporary workplaces, and equipment. The travel rules around 'temporary workplace' are nuanced — claiming them correctly is worth real money.
Can you help with NHS pension annual allowance issues?
We calculate your position, flag likely annual allowance charges and prepare the Self Assessment entries (including scheme pays elections). For complex cases we'll say when an IFA should be involved — honestly, and before you spend money.
Do I need to visit an office in Heywood?
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 Heywood or anywhere else in North West.
I searched "locum accounting near me" — is this service really local to Heywood?
Heywood 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 Heywood town centre or the edge of North West. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my locum 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.
From our inbox: what Heywood businesses ask us
From April 2026, self-employed people and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 move onto Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: digital records and quarterly updates to HMRC, not one annual return. The year before is the right time to get bookkeeping into shape.
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 Heywood businesses it saves thousands; for others it's pure extra paperwork.
HMRC receives data directly from online platforms about sellers' income. If a side hustle has grown past the £1,000 trading allowance, coming forward first is always cheaper than being written to — penalties scale with how the disclosure starts.
Scam "HMRC" messages outnumber real ones — HMRC doesn't demand payment by gift card or threaten arrest by text. Real letters have reference numbers that we can verify directly with HMRC before anyone responds.
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.
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.
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 Heywood growing towards that line should be watching it monthly.
If you contract through your own limited company, IR35 asks whether you'd be an employee without it. For medium and large clients, the status decision is theirs; for small clients, it's still yours — and getting it wrong in either direction costs money.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Heywood, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
