Frequently Asked Questions

Got a Question? We’ve Probably Heard It Before.

At BDE Accountants, we believe in making things clear and simple. Here are answers to some of the questions clients ask us most often.

How do I switch to BDE from my current accountant?

Switching is easier than you think. We’ll handle the handover process for you — including requesting your records and notifying your previous accountant. All you need to do is sign our engagement letter and we’ll take care of the rest.

How much do your services cost?

We offer clear, fixed monthly fees based on your needs. Prices vary depending on the size of your business and the level of service you want (e.g. compliance only vs advisory or FD-level support). We’ll provide a quote after your free discovery call.

What’s included in your monthly packages?

All our packages include year-end accounts, tax returns, and ongoing support. You can also choose add-ons like payroll, VAT, and advisory services. We offer Silver, Gold, and Platinum options to suit different business stages.

Do you just do tax returns, or can you help with strategy too?

We do both. Many clients start with us for accounts and tax — then stay for the financial advice that helps them grow. Through our advisory and Virtual FD services, we help with forecasting, cash flow, decision-making, and profit strategy.

Do you work with clients outside of Bury?

Yes! We work with businesses across the UK using cloud software, secure portals, and online meetings. Whether you’re local or remote, you’ll get the same personal service and fast response.

Can I speak to someone if I have a question?

Of course. We pride ourselves on being approachable and responsive. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact and access to our team by phone, email, or portal — no waiting on hold or getting passed around.

What software do you use?

We work with Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, and other major cloud accounting platforms. If you’re not on one yet, we’ll help you choose the right one and get you set up.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

We help:

Start-ups and sole traders
Service-based businesses (e.g. consultants, creatives, trades)
Limited companies with turnover from £200k to £1m+
Business owners who want strategic advice, not just number-crunching

How long does it take to get started?

You can book a free call today, and once you're happy to move forward, we can get you fully onboarded in as little as 1–2 weeks.
