Small businesses are the backbone of the Welsh economy: trades, farming, tourism, retail and a growing number of digital and creative firms. Welsh taxpayers pay Welsh rates of income tax, which are set by the Senedd, so it helps to use an accountant who knows how that shows up on your tax return.
Accountants in South Wales can help with bookkeeping, Self Assessment tax returns, VAT registration and returns, payroll, accounts for sole traders and Making Tax Digital, as well as advice on how to structure your business and plan for tax.
Choosing an accountant in South Wales
- Agree how you'll work. Some accountants prefer email, others regular meetings. Pick one whose style suits you.
- Ask about software. Make sure they support the bookkeeping software you use, or will recommend one for Making Tax Digital.
- Find a specialist. An accountant who already works with businesses like yours will spot savings others miss.

Accountants in South Wales: your questions answered
How much does an accountant cost in South Wales?
Fees vary from firm to firm. As a rough guide, a simple Self Assessment tax return costs from about £150 to £400, sole trader accounts and tax return from about £300 to £900 a year, and a small limited company from about £1,000 to £2,500 a year. Ask any accountant in South Wales for a fixed fee in writing before you start.
Do I need an accountant based in South Wales?
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 South Wales.
Are the tax rules any different in South Wales?
Mostly no. Welsh taxpayers pay Welsh rates of income tax, which are set in Wales but have so far matched the rates in England. National Insurance, VAT and corporation tax are the same across the UK.
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.
Is this service free?
Yes. It's free for you, with no obligation. The accountancy firms pay to be listed.
