Choosing an accountant in Scarborough
- Agree how you'll work. Some accountants prefer email, others regular meetings. Pick one whose style suits you.
- Check their qualifications. Look for membership of a professional body such as ICAEW, ACCA, ICAS, CIMA, AAT or CIOT.

Ask any accountant in Scarborough for a fixed fee in writing before you start.
Do I need an accountant based in Scarborough?

Are the tax rules any different in Scarborough?
No. Income tax, National Insurance, VAT and corporation tax are the same across England. Your accountant just needs to know your personal situation and how your business is set up.
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.
