Looking for a local accountant in York?
If you are researching and looking for a good accountant here are some of the common questions people ask.
Depending on your business and its size, a chartered accountant could be beneficial. An experienced chartered accountant can help you to manage your finances, make strategic decisions with regards to taxes and long-term planning, advise on investments, as well as provide other financial services that are tailored to your needs. If you own a business in the York area, then consulting a chartered accountant may prove beneficial.
Chartered accountants are highly qualified accounting and finance professionals who have completed a rigorous course of study and passed a strict set of examinations. They must also meet stringent professional requirements to maintain their qualification status and continue their professional development in order to stay up-to-date on the latest tax laws and regulations. Chartered accountants offer additional services beyond traditional taxation, such as auditing, financial planning and bookkeeping services. They may also receive more specialised training than an accountant, giving them added expertise in areas like corporate law or international taxation.
An accountant performs a number of important duties for businesses and individuals. They keep financial records, analyse data, and provide advice on taxes and other financial matters. An accountant also assists with the preparation of reports to support organisations’ decision-making efforts.
A good accountant will work pro-actively on your behalf, spot ineficiencies and identify opportunities for saving money. They should also help you stay legal and comply with financial legislation.
It’s important to be open and honest with your accountant. They will need to know all the details of your finances in order to provide the best advice and guidance. While it may be tempting to keep some items private, it is important that you tell your accountant everything so they can give you tailored and accurate advice.
When it comes to finding an accountant you can trust, it is important to do your research. Ask for references and speak with previous clients so that you can get a trusted opinion about the service. It’s all about the outcome, ask the references to explain the differences and efficiencies made to business since they appointed the accountant. Once you’ve found someone who meets all your criteria, have an initial conversation with them to further evaluate their qualifications.
Absolutely! A qualified accountant can help you find ways to reduce your taxes, optimize your business finances and maximise the return on your investments. Working with an accountant who understands the specific needs of small businesses or independent professionals can be incredibly beneficial as they will be aware of changes in legislation or tax regulations and give advice on how to best utilise your money.
The cost of an accountant in York depends on their experience and capacity. Generally, experienced accountants usually charge between £45-200 per hour and will provide a range of services such as bookkeeping, tax returns, payroll services, business advice and financial planning. The total cost may vary depending on the scope of services required.
At Franks Accountants, we work a little differently. Rather than charge on an hourly basis, we charge a monthly fixed fee so there are no surprises. Our monthly fixed fee’s start from £250 per month.
When it comes to financial matters, professional accounting services can be worth their weight in gold. By paying an experienced accountant, you are getting proven, reliable guidance and expertise that can help you make smart decisions with your money, save time, and remain compliant with the law.
Hiring an accountant in the UK can be a beneficial move for any business, whether large or small. An accountant can ensure that your accounts are up to date and compliant with regulations, plus they can help you understand tax and financial issues to maximise your profits and minimise your tax bill. With their expertise, you can be sure that your money is working effectively for you.

“We’ve been with Franks Accountants in York for 4 years now and it has made a huge difference to our business. It is a breath of fresh air that everything is explained to us in plain english so we fully understand what’s going on. Additionally, being available for general business advice has been invaluable for us and the flexibility out of hours really helps. Highly recommended.”
“I’ve been working with Adam & Franks for 6 months now and The service has been superb. I have recently set up a new business in Wetherby and Adam has helped me navigate various challenges many of which weren’t always accounts related. For me, it was a proactive accountant AND person to discuss business with that I needed, without feeling like I was going to get another bill, or was taking advantage of the service – he has delivered on both. If you are a new or even established business wanting to grow then definitely have a chat with Adam and his team.”
“Totally brilliant. Been with Franks since the beginning of the year, fixed price with no hidden extras. Totally personal service and great advice, has saved me almost what they cost! Always on hand to help, really can’t praise them enough! Very happy customer.”
“Adam has gone above and beyond, offering excellent business advice, and has assisted with various aspects of my business, his knowledge and advice has been invaluable.”
“I needed my accountant to be patient, down to earth and accommodating as well as good at their job – what a relief when I met Adam. Introduced via a mutual friend – who also raved about him – it was the best decision I made for me and my business moving forward. I still hate doing my accounts but a weight has been lifted knowing that Adam has got my back. I have been with Franks Accountants for a year now and have no hesitation in recommending the team. I have become a Limited Company and have had a successful first year in this new position. Thank you!”
“We were worried about switching accountants but Franks made it such a simple process. What’s more the service you get is a different level; never experienced a proactive accountant before! He actually phones me and makes suggestions rather than me having to chase. Best thing we ever did.”
“I’m a true believer that you should get a professional to do a good job. Adam and his team have more than surpassed that statement and I need not worry about my accounts no longer. Highly recommend them!”
