Is it difficult to switch from my current accountant to Phillips & Co?
Not at all. We make switching completely seamless. Once you decide to partner with us, we contact your previous accountant directly to request professional clearance and securely transfer all your historical financial records. We handle the entire handover process, meaning you do not have to lift a finger or have any awkward conversations.
How do your fixed-fee monthly packages work?
We do not believe in surprise bills or charging by the hour for every phone call. Our fixed-fee packages are agreed upon upfront based on your exact business structure and required services. This single monthly payment covers your software, year-end accounts, tax filings, and proactive year-round advice, giving you total cash flow certainty.
What is the process for a new client consultation?
We always start with a free, no-obligation discovery call or meeting at our Chester Business Park office. This gives us a chance to understand your current financial setup, identify any immediate tax-saving opportunities, and recommend the exact fixed-fee package your business needs to stay compliant and grow.
How quickly can you get my new limited company set up?
If you are launching a new venture, our company formation team moves incredibly fast. Once you provide your basic details and verify your identity for Companies House, we can typically have your new limited company legally incorporated and registered for Corporation Tax within 24 to 48 hours.
