We serve clients across Kent, London, and across rest of the UK using electronic communication and Zoom for meetings. The growth of Cloud accounting products including Quickbooks, Freeagent, Xero and Easybooks means distance is no longer as important. So you don't understand accounts, and tax goes right over your head. One client said he learned (and understood) more in 1/2 hour than he had in years with his former accountant.
Services
The Business
Report
AW Accounting is a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants based near Shrewsbury, Shropshire serving clients across the country.
We believe the best way to advise clients is to meet up, which we aim do every year, and telephone queries are included within out fee too.
Even if we cannot meet as we have discovered in lockdown there is still the option of online meetings such as Zoom.
We would never advise you write a blank cheque to any of your suppliers to "just get the job done".
So, of course, you should apply the same common sense purchasing approach to your accountancy services.

Company formation
Report
It pays to think carefully about how to structure the business before going ahead with forming a company.
Before setting up a limited company consider who is going to own the company, manage the company and take the risk by putting their money or livelihood on the line.
AW Accounting can advise you on the most beneficial structure of ownership of the company (the shareholding) and the management of the company (the directors).
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) offers more flexibility in sharing profits between the members of the partnership as these are laid out in a formal contract the "Partnership Agreement".

Taxation advice
Report
Gravesend accountant AW Accounting thinks that taxation advice should be an ongoing process not a one off event.
The fixed fee basis that AW Accounting operates under means that free phone calls are included within the annual fee, so queries can be dealt with throughout the year.
For most clients there is also contact around the year end when the best advice can be given on reducing tax liability for the year.
The face to face meeting included within the fixed fee will allow both client and adviser the chance to raise future issues.
