Do I Still Need an Accountant if I Use Xero?
Yes, if you want the accounts, the VAT, and the tax handled by someone who will also explain them. Cloud software keeps the records in one place. Someone still has to prepare the year-end, file the returns, and sit with you when the numbers don’t make sense.
RNE typically sets clients up on cloud software such as Xero, so invoices, bank feeds, and reports stay organised. If you are already on a system, RNE will work with what you have where it can, or help you move.
RNE still prepares the accounts, files what needs filing, and talks you through the cash. That work is on the services page.
If you are deciding whether software on its own is enough, message Rhys and say what you are using now.
Related Questions
Do you use Xero?
Yes. Xero is the usual setup. If you are already on something else, RNE will work with it where it can, or help you switch.
Can I keep doing my own bookkeeping in the software?
Yes, if that is what you want. Some clients keep the day-to-day entry and use RNE for VAT, payroll, and the year-end. Say which parts you want taken off you, and the package is quoted to that.
Will the software file my tax return for me?
The software stores the transactions. Someone still has to prepare the accounts and file what HMRC expects. That’s the work RNE takes on.
What if I am not on any software yet?
RNE can set you up. The first chat covers where the records are now, and what needs to be in place.
