What changes once advice arrives before the bill

01

See corporation tax before year end

See the likely corporation tax position while there is still time to plan the next withdrawal or purchase.

02

Pay yourself with the year in mind

Salary, dividends and employment allowance are checked before money leaves the company.

03

Use the VAT scheme that fits

Your VAT scheme is checked against how and where the company now sells.

The decisions that expose a filing-only accountant

A missed planning point usually becomes visible when the company has already committed the money.

  • VAT

    “I stayed on the VAT scheme set at registration, though nobody checked whether it still matched how we trade.”

    The company may pay more VAT than its sales pattern requires. The longer it stays unchecked, the harder the correction becomes.

  • Dividends

    “I took the same salary and dividends as last year, then found out the tax cost after the withdrawal.”

    The withdrawal was already made, so the useful planning window had closed.

  • Hire

    “I hired someone because the work was there, without knowing what payroll and cash commitments would follow.”

    The decision hit cash and payroll together. Advice afterwards could not reshape the timing.

  • Day 90

    What changes once the advice is in the room

    Fasih checks the decision before the company commits. The tax and cash effects are explained in plain English. You can then act with the likely cost in front of you.

How the first three months of switching work

The review comes first, so you can see what needs attention before moving anything.

Before day one

The gaps are found before you move

Fasih checks your VAT scheme, reliefs, corporation tax position and how you pay yourself.

Day 30

The scope and fixed fee are agreed

You receive a written scope showing the work, responsibilities and fixed fee before anything starts.

Day 60

Your handover is under control

Fiscal Umbrella contacts your current accountant and requests the accounts files, bookkeeping data and payroll history.

Day 90

Advice is built into the year

Deadlines are mapped and the next tax, VAT and director pay decisions are scheduled.

Who the review is built to help

The review is for limited companies turning over £100k or more.

Sole traders, partnerships and LLPs are outside the scope of this page.

Startups looking for investor introductions are not a fit.

Corner shops, takeaways, transport and haulage businesses are not taken on.

If your company fits, the review identifies what should be checked before you decide whether to switch.

Questions Luton directors ask before they switch

What does the monthly fee for a small business accountant in Luton include?

Your written scope can cover year-end accounts, corporation tax, VAT, bookkeeping, payroll and the director’s Self Assessment. Advice on the VAT scheme, salary, dividends and relevant reliefs can be included where needed. The exact work depends on your company. The fixed fee is agreed in writing before anything starts.

Can I speak to Fiscal Umbrella if I already have an accountant?

Yes. Start with the intake quiz and, if there is a fit, the free review. Fasih checks what your current service covers and where advice is missing. A switch is discussed only after you have a personalised recommendation and written scope. There is no obligation to move.

Do we have to change our accounting software?

Fasih first checks whether your current bookkeeping and payroll software can support the work. If a change is needed, he explains why before anything moves. Xero, QuickBooks, A2X, Hubdoc and Dext setup, mapping and training can be included in the written scope.

What happens with our current accountant when we switch?

Fiscal Umbrella contacts your current accountant, requests professional clearance and collects the accounts files, bookkeeping data and payroll history. The handover is managed around filing dates to avoid interrupting your returns. You deal with Fasih rather than carrying messages between both firms. Nothing moves until the scope and fixed fee are agreed.

How can a small business accountant in Luton reduce tax surprises?

A useful tax review happens before the dividend, hire or year end. Fasih checks the VAT scheme, corporation tax position, salary, dividends and relevant reliefs. That gives you time to choose the next step before cash leaves the company or a deadline closes.

What businesses does a small business accountant in Luton work with?

Fiscal Umbrella works with limited companies turning over £100k or more. Typical clients include online sellers, technology companies, professional services firms and larger local construction businesses. They are comfortable working online, provide information when needed and want advice during the year. Sole traders and partnerships are outside this page.
