Online accountants vs the high street
Traditional firms around West Midlands still run on hourly billing, office appointments and fees you discover after the work. We built the opposite: written fixed fees agreed up front, unlimited questions inside the price, and a fully online workflow — no premises anywhere, so no premises priced into your fee in Hereford.
There's no office to fund in Hereford 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.
Startup Accountants in Hereford: from first message to filed
Start with a message — no forms, no phone queue. Tell us what needs doing and we take it from there.
One fixed price before any work starts. Complex case? We say so now, not on the invoice.
The legal bits — ID verification, engagement letter — happen online in minutes, then your records come in via the portal or WhatsApp.
We prepare, you check and approve, we submit — and you get the HMRC confirmation the same day it's filed.
The same service in Hereford as anywhere — by design
We built this service so that someone in Hereford never pays a premium — or accepts worse service — because of geography. Same specialists, same published fees, same speed, wherever in West Midlands you are.
A lot of our West Midlands 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.

Hereford startup accountants FAQs
What is SEIS/EIS advance assurance and do I need it?
It's HMRC's provisional confirmation that investment in your company qualifies for SEIS/EIS tax relief — and most angels won't invest without it. We prepare and submit the application, including the business plan framing HMRC expects.
We haven't made any money yet — do we still need an accountant?
Your filing duties start at incorporation, revenue or not — accounts, confirmation statements, corporation tax registration. Getting software and structure right from day one is also dramatically cheaper than untangling a year of DIY records later.
Can you handle share options and multiple share classes?
Yes — growth shares, EMI options and investor share classes are common startup territory. We'll flag when you need a specialist valuation and handle the accounting and filings around it.
Do I need to visit an office in Hereford?
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 Hereford or anywhere else in West Midlands.
I searched "startup accounting near me" — is this service really local to Hereford?
Hereford 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 Hereford town centre or the edge of West Midlands. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my startup 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
A limited company juggles two regulators: Companies House wants accounts within nine months of year end, HMRC wants corporation tax paid at nine months and a day. Same starting point, different documents — and late filing penalties at Companies House escalate automatically and are rarely cancelled.
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.
First-year traders around Hereford tend to make the same three mistakes: registering late, mixing business and personal spending in one account, and saving nothing for the first tax bill. All three are avoidable in an afternoon of setup.
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.
UK residential property sales have their own regime: report and pay within 60 days of completion, separately from Self Assessment. Other gains report annually. Mixing up the two timetables is a common and expensive mistake.
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.
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.
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 Hereford stopped being the differentiator the day filings went electronic.
