Accountancy faq

Got any questions we can help with?

How experienced is your practice?

Ellis has worked in the accounting industry for almost 10 years, and been operating a licenced practice for the past 4, so we think you’re in pretty good hands! Ellis achieved AAT to Level 4, as well as a Diploma in Production Accounting with the NFTS.

What's your fee structure?

Our pricing is bespoke to each business dependent on their requirements. If we ever need to bill outside of our agreement for additional work, always pre-authorised by you, we charge £30/hr for accounting work and £25/hr for bookkeeping tasks.

How do you ensure data security and confidentiality of our information?

FieCo is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office and takes its responsibilities to your data very seriously. We’re targeting CyberEssentials certification by 2024 and defend our systems with rigorous cybersecurity tools.

How do you stay up-to-date with changes in tax laws or accounting regulations?

Our accounting team track our annual CPD, as required in our licence conditions. Our last CPD inspection took place in 2022 and we passed with flying colours!

How do you handle inspections, and can you work with authorities on our behalf?

The way we look at it; if you get an inspection, so do we. We’ll be with you every step of the way. We can absolutely work with authorities on our behalf once you grant us agent authorisation.

Can you guarantee tax savings?

As a rule, unlike many we don’t guarantee tax savings. Whilst there are usually savings to be achieved, it might be that you’ve already minimised your tax liability as far as possible. However, we can promise that we’ll be proactive in searching for tax savings for you.

What if we're looking for marketing and accountancy services?

We’d be delighted to help! Instead of running round looking for different professionals, let us handle it all – and we’ll throw in a discount if you choose to work with us in both areas.

What's on your mind?

Let’s get some of those questions answered.
