Frequently Asked Accounting Questions

Do you have questions about our accounting services? Please get in touch so we can provide you with more expert advice!
Accounting costs can vary wildly but beware - not all of those offering their services are properly qualified. At Quay Accounting we always agree fixed fees for our services to ensure everything is crystal-clear and can be budgeted for.
A bookkeeper logs information required to report on your business accurately including sales, purchases and expenses. An accountant's remit is far wider and more analytical. They should identify efficiencies, report on financial status and use insight to help the business run more profitably.
There is no legal reason you must employ an accountant. Generally though, getting an expert on board can save you time and money in the long run, especially as accountancy services are tax-deductible.
While both work in the same field, a Chartered accountant is the more highly-trained and is guaranteed to be a member of a professional body. This is important as it gives you added protection and holds the provider to certain exacting standards of professional conduct.
