How do I choose the right accountant?
Taxes can seem complicated. Choosing the right tax accountant can be tough. There are different accountants, and everyone has their own specialty. You might want to look at one that is good for you. And before choosing, we recommend that you consider some key factors.
Certifications
These are important because they will demonstrate that the tax accountant is credible. Certified tax accountants include Chartered Accountants. For example, ACA or ACCA. Tax-specific qualifications include the Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA) and Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT). These individuals have proven competence and experience in the tax field. At Taxd, your personal digital accountant has been built by experienced, certified tax accountants.
Specialists
Specialists are tax accountants who deal with one specific section of tax law, such as capital gains tax or inheritance tax. This means that they can address any specific needs that you may have. By harnessing the power of technology, the Taxd personal digital accountant is an expert in all areas of the self assessment.
Location
Location can be important, but COVID-19 has certainly accelerated the move to digital and remote interactions. More accountants are collaborating online. Location really depends on what suits you best — whether you want to see your accountant in person or whether you are happy with meeting and collaborating online.
Price
Price is essential, as you want a service that delivers real value to you. Accountants can be expensive and a Self Assessment can be completed for free through HMRC online. The right accountant will not only ensure that your taxes are accurate and compliant, but they will help you to alleviate the stress of filing. Taxd brings together all of the above for UK Self Assessment personal tax returns. It is a personal, digital accountant service. Providing you with an interactive experience to help you complete a Self Assessment while maximising your tax efficiency.
