Ask your accountant a question today, then time how long the answer takes to arrive
You email on Monday. Nothing. You chase on Thursday. A holding reply from someone new.
The decision you needed the answer for gets made anyway, without the number, and you find out later what it cost.
Or read on to see how it works.
How a director ends up deciding without the number they asked for
- Question goes by email
- No reply that week
- New account manager replies
- They ask for context
- You decide anyway
- Cost shows at year end
The chain is the same every time, and the last link is always expensive.
A hire, a dividend, a VAT scheme, a price rise. Each one moves money. Each one waits on an answer that never comes in time.
The five questions your accountant should answer before you decide anything
Read them and count how many you could get answered this week.
- Is my VAT scheme the right one for my costs?
- What will my corporation tax bill be this year?
- How much can I take as dividends right now?
- Is my salary and dividend split still correct?
- Who exactly is looking after my company this year?
If those sit unanswered, every decision downstream is a guess.
What changes when one accountant answers you himself
Same week. From your live numbers. With the reasoning written down.
Nexus takes three new clients a month, so Nasir is the person who reads your email and replies to it.
- 3new clients a month
- You email Nasir
- He knows your file
- Answer with the numbers
- You decide on facts
No rotation of junior account managers, because the book is capped on purpose.
What the first ninety days with Nexus actually look like
Four markers, so you know what has changed and when.
- Before day one
Handover done for you
Professional clearance and records collection are handled, so you are not chasing your old firm yourself.
- Day 30
Your set-up reviewed
Structure, VAT scheme, salary and dividends and software checked, with a written list of what should change and why.
- Day 60
Books current, not historic
Bookkeeping runs to a routine, so the numbers are there when a decision comes up mid month.
- Day 90
Tax forecast in your hands
Corporation tax and dividend headroom forecast ahead of the year end, so the money is set aside.
The set-up review is included when you join Nexus
Sixty minutes with Nasir on your own figures. He goes through your structure, your VAT scheme, your salary and dividend split, and the software your books sit in.
You are told why each one is right, or what should change.
You leave with a written list of what to change and why, plus a corporation tax and dividend forecast, whether or not you go further.
The handover from your current accountant carries no separate charge.
Who this works for, and who should stay where they are
Being honest about this saves us both a call.
This is for you if
- You run an established limited company turning over £150,000 or more.
- You are a consultant or contractor with high invoice values and few transactions.
- You run a construction or trades business with staff and real overheads.
- You want your tax bill flagged a month before it lands, not after.
- You want one accountant who replies, and you will engage with your numbers.
This is not for you if
- You are a start-up in your first or second year of trading.
- You are a sole trader turning over under £150,000.
- You hold property only and want a landlord specialist.
- You run a cash business or want the lowest monthly fee on the market.
- You have lumpy income, no overheads and no interest in planning ahead.
Two minutes. If it fits, you’ll book the set-up review with Nasir.
Four things you should be able to say about your accountant
- He answers me this week
- He checked my VAT scheme
- I know my tax bill early
- Same person every year
