While it’s not a legal requirement to hire an accountant as a sole trader, having one can make your financial management much easier. An accountant can help you set up your books correctly, manage tax returns, track expenses, and ensure compliance with HMRC regulations from the start. If your business is still small, you can handle the basics yourself, but professional advice early on can save you time, money, and stress in the long run.

Yes — OneTeam Accountants offers a fully online tax-filing service. They handle your self-assessment tax return, corporation tax (if you have a limited company), VAT returns (if applicable), and other compliance obligations via digital submission to the relevant UK authorities. Their service is modern and cloud-based, meaning you don’t necessarily have to visit in person; documents, records and queries can be handled remotely.

At OneTeam Accountants, our fees are designed to be transparent and tailored to your business needs. We don’t believe in hidden costs — instead, we offer clear, fixed-price packages based on the type and size of your business. Whether you’re a sole trader, partnership, or limited company, you only pay for the services you actually need.
