Choosing a tax firm in Brighton

How to choose: (1) match the firm to your size and stage — a landlord and a 40-person company need different people; (2) confirm the qualification for regulated work (CPA, ACA / ICAEW, ACCA, CA (CA ANZ, CPA Canada, SAICA), CIMA, EA (US Enrolled Agent), Steuerberater, Expert-comptable); (3) ask for a fixed fee in writing; (4) check they use software you can log into; (5) talk to one existing client in your sector.

As one of the larger markets in the United Kingdom for accounting, Brighton firms range from sole practitioners handling personal returns to multi-partner offices running statutory audits and outsourced finance functions. If you are early-stage, a smaller local firm is usually faster and cheaper; above the audit threshold you will want a firm with a registered auditor.

FAQ

When is the filing deadline?
It depends on the country and entity type — see the country notes below. An accountant will confirm your specific dates and can usually file an extension.
Can an accountant reduce my tax bill?
Legally, yes — through allowances, timing, entity structure, pension contributions, and reliefs like R&D. They cannot and should not hide income.
