What does a virtual accountant do?
1. Managing Your Bookkeeping Digitally
A virtual accountant handles all your bookkeeping needs remotely. From recording daily transactions to reconciling bank statements, they ensure your financial data is up-to-date and accurate. By using cloud accounting software such as Xero or QuickBooks, you can access your books anytime, anywhere — perfect for business owners in Bath and across the UK.
2. Preparing and Filing Tax Returns
Tax return season can be stressful, but a virtual accountant makes it simple. They help you prepare and file your Self Assessment or Corporation Tax returns, ensuring you meet HMRC deadlines and claim every deduction you’re entitled to. Payless Accountants specialises in affordable and accurate tax return services for individuals and businesses across the UK.
3. Providing Real-Time Financial Insights
With digital tools, virtual accountants can generate instant financial reports — profit and loss statements, cash flow forecasts, and balance sheets. These insights help business owners make smarter decisions and plan ahead with confidence.
4. Payroll and VAT Management
A virtual accountant can also manage payroll, handle VAT returns, and ensure your employees and HMRC are paid on time. This automation not only reduces manual work but also keeps your business compliant with current UK tax regulations.
5. Offering Strategic Business Advice
Beyond numbers, virtual accountants provide valuable business guidance. From helping startups with tax planning to advising established firms on growth strategies, they act as your financial partner — not just your accountant.
