Personalised Service: The Advantage of Small Accountancy Firms in London

 

Every year, 82% of small businesses close their doors because they can’t manage their cash flow properly. Shockingly, despite these figures, 70% of small businesses don't have an accountant.

 

Many people still believe accountants are just for handling taxes, but this view is outdated. Here's why you should now start thinking about working with small accountancy firms in London to avoid being one of the majority that struggle:

 

Stay compliant and avoid penalties.

 

According to recent studies, the total amount of HMRC tax penalties has climbed significantly, up by 25% over the past year. This increase has taken the penalties from £681 million in the 2021/22 financial year to £851 million in 2022/23. HMRC is chasing around £37 billion of unpaid tax, and it's safe to say that the tax penalties are seen as a ‘quick win’ for the tax authority.

 

Of course, you want to avoid any unnecessary penalties and fines. Small accountancy firms in London can help your business with this. They have the knowledge and expertise to keep you updated with any changes in financial legislation so that you can avoid any penalties and stay compliant with the latest regulations.
