Popular Questions
Everything you need to know about working with Alongside Accounting
What makes Alongside Accounting different from other accountants in Bromley?
We bring large company expertise to individuals and small businesses. You’d get a personalised service from the founder and director, James Huang. We believe in getting the fundamentals of compliance right and we believe in transformation so that you achieve your financial goals.
Do you work with businesses outside of Bromley?
Yes! While we’re based in Bromley and serve many local businesses across South East London, our cloud-first approach means we work with clients throughout the UK. We use modern accounting platforms like Xero, enabling seamless collaboration regardless of location.
What's included in your monthly fees?
Our monthly fees are all-inclusive with no hidden charges. Depending on your package, this includes bookkeeping, management accounts, tax compliance, payroll, advisory calls, and unlimited email support. We believe in transparent, predictable pricing so you can budget confidently.
How quickly can you onboard my business?
Most businesses are fully onboarded within 2-3 weeks. We start with a discovery call to understand your needs, then migrate your accounting data to our cloud platform, set up your processes, and schedule your first strategic review. For urgent situations, we can accelerate this timeline.
Do you offer fixed-price quotes or hourly billing?
We work exclusively on fixed monthly fees—no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. After our initial consultation, we’ll provide a transparent quote based on your business complexity and needs. This gives you complete cost predictability and peace of mind.
Can you help with tax planning, not just tax filing?
Absolutely—this is where we add the most value. We don’t just file your tax returns at year-end; we proactively identify tax-saving opportunities throughout the year, optimise your business structure, advise on dividend vs salary strategies, and help with R&D tax credits where applicable.
What happens during the first consultation?
Your first 30-minute call is complimentary and pressure-free. We’ll discuss your current situation, business goals, pain points with existing accounting, and how we can help. You’ll leave with clarity on next steps – whether you work with us or not, you’ll have actionable insights.
