These answers address the practical questions clients often ask while comparing support. Where an answer depends on authority, systems, data or deadlines, the proposal records the responsibilities that apply.
What services does True View Advisory provide?
Our work is organised around four areas: accounting and bookkeeping, taxation, business advisory, and finance training. The exact scope depends on your objectives, systems, timetable and the responsibilities involved, and is agreed before work begins.
Who do you work with?
We welcome enquiries from business owners, finance teams, growing organisations and accountancy practices that need additional delivery capacity. Fit and responsibilities are confirmed during the initial discussion.
Is your current focus UK clients?
Yes. This website and our current service positioning are focused on UK businesses, founders, finance teams and accountancy practices. The exact scope and any need for regulated or specialist input are confirmed at the outset.
Can you take over from an existing accountant or bookkeeper?
We can review the current records, responsibilities, systems and deadlines, then propose an orderly handover. We do not make changes or contact an existing provider without agreement.
Which accounting platforms do you support?
Our current workflows can accommodate Xero, QuickBooks and Sage. Platform fit, access and any migration work are confirmed as part of the scope; product names do not imply partner status.
Do you provide statutory audit services?
We do not present ourselves as a statutory auditor. Where appropriate, we can discuss audit-readiness work and coordination with your appointed auditor.
How are fees calculated?
Fees reflect scope, complexity, transaction volume, timetable and responsibility. Following discovery, deliverables, assumptions and fees are set out in writing before work begins.
How quickly can work begin?
Once we understand the requirement, we confirm availability, dependencies and a realistic start date. Mention any urgent deadline in your initial enquiry so it can be considered promptly.
What information will you need?
This usually includes recent financial reports, current software, approximate transaction volumes, key deadlines and the areas causing concern. The exact request is tailored to the engagement.
Can you work alongside an internal finance team or another adviser?
Yes, where appropriate. Responsibilities and hand-offs can be agreed across the different parties so ownership remains clear and work is not duplicated.
Do you offer one-off projects as well as ongoing support?
Potentially, yes. A requirement may be defined as a one-off clean-up, review, forecast, workshop or advisory project, or as a recurring accounting and reporting rhythm. The appropriate format depends on the outcome, dependencies and responsibilities involved.
What happens during the initial consultation?
We discuss the current position, the main pressure point, relevant systems, important deadlines and what a useful outcome would look like. If there is a sensible fit, the next step is a written scope rather than an assumption that work has already begun.
Can you help if our bookkeeping has fallen behind?
We can first assess the period involved, transaction volume, available records, software access and any connected deadlines. A catch-up or clean-up scope can then set out priorities, dependencies and the point at which normal recurring work may resume.
What does business advisory analysis include?
Depending on the requirement and available data, advisory work may include budgets and forecasts, variance and trend analysis, profitability and margin analysis, KPI design, cash and working-capital analysis, financial ratios, break-even points and scenario modelling.
Can you submit UK tax returns or deal with HMRC on our behalf?
Any preparation, review, submission, correspondence or representation responsibility must be confirmed explicitly in the engagement scope. Where regulated authority or specialist input is required, that need is identified before the relevant work proceeds.
How should confidential financial information be shared?
Do not send bank credentials, tax references, identity documents or detailed financial records through the general website form. Appropriate access and document-sharing arrangements should be agreed for the engagement before sensitive information is provided.
Do you guarantee tax savings or business results?
No responsible adviser can guarantee a particular tax saving, profit improvement or business outcome without regard to the facts, law, assumptions and decisions involved. Our role is to define the work clearly, analyse the available information and explain relevant options and risks.
