Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose a firm of Chartered Accountants instead of a Non-Chartered?

Would you go to a dentist with no license and no hygiene supervision? Then why would you trust your business to a firm that is not qualified and has no regulatory supervision. Many firms call themselves 'accountants,' but in reality, they can only 'assist' you with financial matters — without taking any responsibility for your statutory reporting.

When choosing an accountancy firm always verify their credentials – ensure they are registered with one of the three main professional bodies, recognised in the UK: ACCA, ICAEW or CIMA. There is no such thing as "HMRC licence" that many firms refer to. Any business can register with HMRC as an agent, this does not require any knowledge or qualification.

White Star Accountants Ltd is bound by the highest industry standards and regulated by ACCA, ensuring professionalism, integrity, and expert financial guidance.

We take full responsibility for our work and are backed by professional indemnity insurance for your peace of mind. 

 

How a good accountant can save you money?

A great accountant doesn’t cost you money—they save you money!

Working with cheap accountants can lead to costly mistakes, including errors in tax filings, payroll, and financial statements, which may result in penalties, or compliance issues. They often lack the expertise to offer strategic advice and can’t allocate enough time to your case, missing tax-saving opportunities and essential regulatory updates. Limited services, poor communication, and missed deadlines can create further frustrations, while hidden fees may negate any initial cost savings. 

We offer a transparent fee structure and provide services based on both time spent and fixed fees, ensuring no surprises.
