Accountancy Service FAQs
What are the benefits of changing accountants, and what are the challenges?
Stay with your current accountant if he or she is providing excellent, proactive service at a fair price. There are, however, different levels of tax savings and business advice provided by different accountants. You can easily switch over to us if your current accountant does not offer the type of service you are looking for. All we need from you is a letter, and we will handle the rest. You cannot normally be charged for handover information provided by your existing accountant.
I see a lot of value in what you offer. Do you charge a lot for your services?
We offer fixed fees based on the value of our services. Our prices aren’t always the lowest, and as with many things in life, the cheapest isn’t always the best. The price of our services is not high, however, and the quality of our service is excellent. Most importantly, we never agree to fee arrangements upfront, so you’ll always know where you stand. Our goal is to build long-term working partnerships and relationships with our clients.
Since I just finished my accounts and won’t need an accountant until next year, do I need to contact you now?
A tax planning strategy at an early stage is more important than crisis-driven advice. Tax planning should be done before the year starts, but the earlier, the better. This applies to all areas of advice, and we are interested in helping you change the future, not just reporting on the past. Seeking advice is never too early.
For an initial consultation, will you be able to come to our office?
Yes, of course. Seeing your business, books, records, etc. firsthand is extremely helpful, and we will always spend time talking to you and showing you what we can do without charging you. If you prefer to visit us, that’s fine as well. As your accountant, we strive to make the process as simple as possible.
Would you be able to visit us as soon as possible?
When is convenient for you? Please let us know, and we will do our utmost to help. It’s not a problem if you need to see someone urgently, we can arrange this and give you peace of mind about what you need to do and how we can help you.
How long is the guarantee on your fixed quote?
In order to get your business, we don’t provide low quotes only to raise the fee after a year. It is important to us that you are a long-term client who trusts us to deliver on our promises. If the work remains the same, we would only anticipate normal inflationary increases In some cases, the amount of work involved may exceed what was expected, but we will always review this with you on an ongoing basis. In some cases, the fee can be guaranteed for more than one year when it is clear exactly what work is involved.
There’s so much you offer that I’m not used to from my current accountant. What is your guarantee that you will deliver?
Our only statement is that, as accountants, you should expect us to be analytical, and that is true. We don’t offer anything we can’t deliver, and our 100% risk-free guarantee backs that up. This level of service is expected by our clients. You are welcome to speak with some of our existing clients about their experiences with our service.
Do you offer accountancy services outside of Cardiff?
Despite being based in Cardiff, and providing accounting services to many local businesses, our head office is conveniently located near the M4, and we are able to work with clients in Newport, Swansea, and throughout South Wales and the South West. If you are happy for your accountant to provide services through calls and video conferencing, then we can provide you with services wherever you are in the UK.
Since you have been in business for 30 years, are you up-to-date with modern practises like ‘Making Tax Digital’?
Our company was established in 1990 and has served the local business community ever since. Together, our partners have over 135 years of experience. Is this a sign that we are ‘stuck in our ways’? The answer is emphatically “NO!”. Since the new rules for Making Tax Digital were announced in 2015, the entire team at Hayvenhursts has been learning how to comply. In terms of making tax digital, we consider ourselves experts. In addition, we own bridging software that allows us to submit VAT returns to HMRC in a variety of ways. Software such as Xero and Sage, as well as spreadsheets, can be directly imported using this bridging software.
Isn’t every accountant the same?
Even though many accountancy practices have a similar approach and could be considered “all the same”, we definitely aren’t. Accountants will always be concerned with numbers, but our relationships with our clients, working together to achieve the business’s goals, and delivering fantastic customer service are equally important.
