Frequently Ask Questions.

In addition to the annual accounts and fiscal tasks, will you provide us with any additional advice?

Certainly, this is an area that we pride ourselves on. We believe that it is our responsibility to assist your business in any way that we can, as our success is determined by the continued success and growth of our clients. There is no better way of ensuring a successful future than retaining and nurturing those clients who place trust in our diligent and diverse skill mix.

Can you help me set up my business?

Yes – we are able to provide help and support every step of the way, from business planning, market analysis, branding, commercial loan applications, IT advice, office and commercial property searches and payroll services. We also assist with all of the UK fiscal and statutory requirements.

How much will it cost for you to look after my affairs each year?

This depends whether you would prefer to be charged on an hourly basis, a monthly basis or a pre agreed guaranteed fixed price. Whichever method is chosen is up to you. A no obligation quotation can be provided on request. Fees are determined by what you need us to do.

Why should we choose Macdonald Rock instead of another?

Our commitment to “Integrity, Service and Reliability” is apparent in our dealings with all our clients whether they be International multi nationals or the local trader around the corner. This is evidenced by the fact that many of our clients have been with us for a number of years, and that none have left Macdonald Rock to employ the services of someone else.

If this does not convince you, then please arrange for a no obligation meeting by calling us on 0800 030 4575 to arrange a time and venue to suit you.

Can you act as my Accountant, even though I am not based near you?

Yes. As long as we are able to satisfy ourselves as to your identity, this can be achieved by meeting with you personally, or by having another body confirm your identity, in order to satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations.

In the new business world communication can be by a variety of means, whether it be by technology or in person this is your choice.

How do I switch from our current accountant?

This is a simple straight forward procedure which requires minimal input from you. The first stage is for you to advise your current accountant that you wish to change to Macdonald Rock. The rest is dialogue between ourselves and your previous accountant based upon ethical standards laid down by our professional Institutes. The main thing to remember is that it will not take up any of your time and can be done at any time during your trading cycle.
