Northern Ireland's small businesses include trades, agriculture, retail, hospitality and a strong tech and services sector around Belfast. Many trade across the border too, which can bring extra VAT and customs questions, so a local accountant who knows the NI rules is well worth having.

Ask any accountant in Antrim for a fixed fee in writing before you start.
Do I need an accountant based in Antrim?
Not necessarily, as most work can be done online. But a local accountant can meet you face to face, often knows the local business community, and is easy to drop records in to. We'll match you with a firm that covers Antrim.
Are the tax rules any different in Antrim?
Income tax, National Insurance and corporation tax work the same as in England. Businesses moving goods between Northern Ireland, Great Britain and the EU can have extra VAT and customs rules to deal with.
How do I check an accountant is properly qualified?
Ask which professional body they belong to, such as ICAEW, ACCA, ICAS, CIMA, AAT or CIOT. Members follow professional rules, hold insurance and are supervised for anti-money laundering.
