FAQs for Entrepreneur Accounting & Tax Services

What accounting services do entrepreneurs need in the UK?

Entrepreneurs in the UK typically need services such as bookkeeping, self-assessment tax returns, VAT registration, payroll management, and corporation tax filing. At Odiri Tax Consultants, we also provide business structure advice, financial planning, and capital allowance support tailored to start-ups and small businesses.

Do I need an accountant if I'm a sole trader or freelancer?

Yes. Even as a sole trader or freelancer, using an accountant ensures your tax returns are accurate, you claim all allowable expenses, and you stay HMRC-compliant. We help sole traders optimise income and reduce tax liability with expert advice and efficient record-keeping.

When should I register my business for VAT?

You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 (as of 2024). However, voluntary VAT registration can be beneficial below that threshold, depending on your business type. We advise entrepreneurs on the best time to register and handle all HMRC paperwork.

Can Odiri Tax Consultants help with my self-assessment tax return?

Absolutely. We prepare and submit self-assessment tax returns for entrepreneurs, sole traders, company directors, and landlords. We ensure that all allowable deductions are claimed and that submissions are made accurately and on time.

How much do your accounting services for entrepreneurs cost?

Our pricing is transparent and tailored to your business needs. We offer fixed monthly packages for start-ups and small businesses, as well as one-off services like company formation or self-assessment filing. Book a free consultation for a personalised quote.
