Frequently Asked Questions
What services does House of Accounts offer?
We handle Self Assessment, Annual Accounts, VAT Returns, Corporation Tax, CIS, Bookkeeping and Payroll for sole traders, contractors and limited companies across the UK.
How much do your services cost?
Fees are fixed and agreed upfront before any work begins — no hidden charges at year end. Get in touch with a few details about your business and we'll give you a clear quote.
When is the Self Assessment deadline?
Online Self Assessment returns are due by 31 January following the end of the tax year. We recommend sending us your records early so nothing is left to the last minute.
Do you work with clients outside Birmingham?
Yes. Most of our work is done remotely by phone, email and WhatsApp, so we support clients across the UK, not just the West Midlands.
Are you registered for Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
Yes, our VAT and bookkeeping processes are MTD-compliant, so your VAT returns are submitted digitally in line with HMRC's requirements.
What do I need to register for CIS?
Contractors and subcontractors in construction need to register with HMRC for the Construction Industry Scheme. We can handle the registration and your ongoing monthly returns.
How do I switch accountants to House of Accounts?
We'll contact your previous accountant directly for a professional handover and request your records — you don't need to manage the switch yourself.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes, we offer a free initial consultation to understand your business and confirm exactly which services you need before agreeing any fees.
