Frequently asked questions

I’m happy with my quote, what are the next steps?

That’s great news! If you’ve built an accounting package using the form on this page, a member of our team will be in touch within 24 hours using the details you provided. They’ll go through the client onboarding process with you as well as answer any initial questions you may have.

I’m not sure how to build my package, can I get help?

Of course! You can call us on 01948 988 007, email us at [email protected] or send us a message on the contact page. We’ll answer any questions you may have and ensure your package is tailored to your needs.

What does the onboarding process look like?

The first step is for our team to arrange a call with you. During this call we’ll gather the information needed to carry out our identity checks and deliver our service. We’ll also help you get the TaxBoxx app set up on your mobile phone.

Once you’re in the TaxBoxx app we’ll need you to upload two forms of ID, as well as approve our letter of engagement. Our letter of engagement will detail the services to be carried out, our fees, and also our general terms of business.

Finally, we’ll need you to complete our online form to set up a direct debit that allows us to collect our monthly fees.

You’ll have direct access to our team who are ready to help throughout this entire process.

How do I move from my current accountant to TaxBoxx?

Many people get nervous about switching accountants, even if they’re not happy with the service they’re receiving. Fortunately there’s a standard procedure that accountants follow to help people wishing to move to another provider.

When you decide to become a TaxBoxx client we’ll contact your previous accountant directly requesting the information we need to take over your affairs. If you receive regular ongoing services such as payroll, we also agree a transition date with them to ensure you don’t experience a loss of service.

In most cases the process is complete in a week or two, though it can take longer depending on how quickly your previous advisors reply to our request. Ensuring that any outstanding fees owing to your current accountants are settled will help speed up the process.

Will I be tied into a contract?

Absolutely not. We have no intention of trying to keep clients that no longer require our service. You can leave anytime (we hope that you don’t!). All we ask is for 30 days notice so we can wrap-up anything outstanding and prepare your handover paperwork.

I haven’t started trading yet, how does that work?

Many clients that sign up to TaxBoxx are brand new businesses that haven’t started trading. To help support you in the early days and weeks, we offer our Start-up Support Program. With our Start-up Support Program you receive the full benefits of being a TaxBoxx client but you don’t pay any monthly fees until you start receiving money from customers or clients.
