Frequently Asked Questions

Our head office is at Europa House, Barcroft in Bury, Greater Manchester. We proudly serve businesses and individuals across Bury, Manchester and the North West with in-person meetings, while supporting clients nationwide across the UK via secure cloud accounting, client portals, and video consultations.

BDE stands for 'Best Decision Ever' — reflecting our mission to provide the clarity, responsive support, and strategic numbers that make partnering with us the best decision you ever make for your business.

Our free initial consultation is an informal, no-obligation conversation. We discuss your current setup, upcoming tax or filing obligations, pain points, and growth goals. We will explain how we can help, recommend the right services or package, and provide a transparent, fixed-fee quote.

We offer three core packages — Silver, Gold, and Platinum — tailored to different stages of business growth. Because every business differs by transaction volume, payroll size, and sector, we provide confirmed, transparent fixed-fee proposals following our discovery call. You will know exactly what you are paying with zero surprise bills.

Not at all. We manage the entire handover process on your behalf. Once you authorise us, we contact your previous accountant for professional clearance, collect prior year records and trial balances, register as your HMRC agent, and set up your systems smoothly with zero disruption.

We are accredited Xero and cloud accounting specialists. We also work with major platforms like Sage, QuickBooks, and Dext/Hubdoc to automate receipt capture, invoice processing, and live bank reconciliations.

BDE acts as an introducer to commercial finance providers, commercial brokers, and specialist lenders. We prepare clean, credible management accounts and forecasts to support your funding application. Please note: BDE does not provide regulated financial advice or guarantee lending outcomes; all credit decisions rest entirely with the respective lenders.
