Accountancy

What is data-driven accountancy?

Data Driven Accountancy is the approach we take in helping our clients run their businesses efficiently. We use the data produced from accurate accounting methods to produce data to aid clients in running their business.

Are you real people or is it AI?

Our practice is very much run by real people using software and good practice to produce the required support for our clients.

How long have you been trading?

Jigsol has been trading since 2003 and has always looked towards innovation combined with attention to detail to distinguish ourselves from other accountancy practices. We pride ourselves in being able to understand and support businesses in a variety of sectors each with their own unique requirements and challenges.

Where are you based?

We are based in North London but have clients all over the UK using our cloud based systems.

Who will I be dealing with?

What makes our practice different from other accountancy practices is that you engage our entire team when you use our services. You do not deal with just one person. We allocate the right person to deal with each aspect of your requirements.

How much do you charge?

We charge for the work we do, and the time required to do the job properly. We are providing a service which is to meet the requirements of each client individually. We often split fees over the year which makes the cost more affordable and helps our clients budget their costs. We agree our fees in advance of doing any work so clients know where they stand.

What services do you provide exactly?

Bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts, year-end statutory accounts, preparation and filing of tax returns for individuals, partnerships and limited companies, tax advice for individuals and businesses, registered office and company secretarial services, company formation.

Why should I care that you are qualified?

We are regulated by ACCA which requires us to maintain our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) stay up to date with the ever-changing requirements of our profession. We are also required to hold a practicing certificate and Professional Indemnity Insurance to a suitable level.

How do I know you are the right accountancy for me?

We consider ourselves to be part of your business not just a service provider. Our fee structure allows us to talk to our clients and provide advice without them fearing they will be charged for every minute.

Do you manage payroll?

Payroll is one of the services we offer. Whether you only have a sole director, or one member of staff, the correct and most tax efficient thing to do is to have a payroll registered with H M Revenue and Customs. We can advise you accordingly and arrange for it all to be properly set up.
