FAQ
To get started, simply fill out our contact form or give us a call. Our team will guide you through the process.
In the UK, an audit is mandatory for companies that exceed certain size thresholds or are part of a larger group. However, many SMEs choose a voluntary audit to gain valuable insights into financial performance, strengthen stakeholder confidence, and improve internal controls.
An audit provides independent assurance that your financial statements are accurate and compliant. It can also highlight inefficiencies, strengthen governance, and help attract investors or secure financing by demonstrating transparency and sound financial management.
Our tax specialists identify legitimate reliefs, allowances, and planning opportunities to help you optimise your tax position while staying fully compliant. We provide year-round support, not just at filing time, so you can plan ahead and make tax-efficient business decisions.
We appreciate that changing accountants can be time consuming but that’s not the case when you move to Peter Hodgson & Co.
Simply drop an email or note to your existing accountant informing them that you’re moving to us, copy us on the email and we’ll do the rest. It’s as easy as that.
