“I wanted an accountant who was approachable and could explain things properly without loads of jargon. KP Accountants Ltd have been exactly that. Being in such a niche line of work, there have been countless times I've asked Keiran questions about things most accountants probably never deal with, and he's always taken the time to research it properly and come back with the answer. Everything is dealt with professionally and I've got complete confidence in the service they provide.”
When to come in
Best time is before you file, not after. If you're already self-employed, January is the deadline panic. If you're just starting out, get a structure in place from day one and you'll spend less fixing things later.
