Client feedbackA better experience with QK
Hi Mr Khan, I wanted to drop you a message to say a big thank you for sorting out my company house accounts so quickly. The firm I used before messed me about. I will be recommending to friends and family.
“No better than Qais at QK Accounts. I did not know what I needed and he guided me and did not overcharge.”
“Thank you for helping me sort out all of my tax arrears, your help has helped me sort out my 5 years work history.”
“Fast and swift responses from QK, sorted all my self filing out within 24 hrs! Will be using again :)”
“5 star service from QK Accounts, will be bringing all my companies over.”

How it works
Accounts used to be a headache. Now they're handled.
1
A free 15-minute call to start
Tell us what's going on with your business and your deadlines. We'll ask a few questions and tell you honestly what you need.
2
A clear quote, agreed upfront
We put in writing exactly what we'll do and what it costs before any work starts. No surprise bills later.
3
Set up without the hassle
We collect what we need securely and, if you're switching, we contact your old accountant for the handover.
4
Then we stay on top of it
Deadlines, returns and the odd panicked question. Message us on WhatsApp and you'll get a straight answer.
Why QK exists
Accounting that doesn't make you feel lost.
I started QK after leaving a 9-to-5, because I kept meeting business owners who were paying an accountant and still didn't understand where they stood.
So we keep it simple. We listen first, tell you what you actually need, agree a fee upfront and then get on with it. If you message with a question, you'll get a straight answer.

Questions people ask us
Something else? Email [email protected].
What happens in the free consultation?
A short call to understand your business, what you need help with and any deadlines. You can ask questions and decide whether QK is the right fit. There is no obligation.
How much do your services cost?
We agree a fee before work starts, based on what you need. Ask about fixed monthly fees during your consultation.
Can I switch to QK from my current accountant?
Yes. Once you decide to switch, we contact your previous accountant for the information we need. This is a normal professional step and you do not need to manage it yourself.
Do I need to visit an office?
No. Consultations are arranged online or by phone, and documents are shared electronically.
What should I not send through the website form?
Please do not send your UTR, National Insurance number, date of birth, bank details or financial documents through the enquiry form. We will arrange a secure way to share those if you become a client.

- You get a clear picture of income, costs and what is outstanding.
What you'll need

- Details of any software you already use
Sensitive details such as your UTR, National Insurance number or bank details are collected securely during onboarding, never through the website enquiry form.
Bookkeeping: common questions
Which accounting software do you work with?
We work with common cloud accounting packages, including QuickBooks. Tell us what you use now and we will say whether it suits your business.
My records are months behind. Can you still help?
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is common. We will look at what is missing and agree a plan to bring things up to date.

Other services

- Details of any unusual sales or purchases in the period
Sensitive details such as your UTR, National Insurance number or bank details are collected securely during onboarding, never through the website enquiry form.
VAT returns: common questions
Do I have to be VAT registered?
Registration depends on your taxable turnover and how you trade. We will check your figures against the current HMRC threshold and explain the options, including voluntary registration.
What is Making Tax Digital for VAT?
HMRC requires VAT-registered businesses to keep digital records and file VAT returns using compatible software. We make sure your setup meets those rules.
Send us a quick message
Tell us a little about your business and we'll reply by email.
Other services
Tax planning and compliance
We prepare and file the returns you are legally required to submit, and we help you plan so tax bills are expected rather than surprising. Planning means using the rules correctly, not taking risks with HMRC.

- Business income and expense records
- Details of other income, such as employment, property or dividends
Sensitive details such as your UTR, National Insurance number or bank details are collected securely during onboarding, never through the website enquiry form.
Tax planning: common questions
When is the Self Assessment deadline?
For online returns, the usual deadline is 31 January following the end of the tax year on 5 April. Earlier is better: it gives you time to plan for the payment.
Does Making Tax Digital for Income Tax affect me?
It is being introduced in stages for sole traders and landlords, based on qualifying income. We can check whether and when it applies to you and get your records ready.
Can you guarantee I will pay less tax?
No accountant can honestly promise that. We make sure you claim what you are entitled to and plan ahead where the rules allow.

Contractors must submit a monthly return by the 19th of each month, covering the tax month that ended on the 5th. A nil return may be needed if you made no payments.
How much is deducted under CIS?
Registered subcontractors usually have 20% deducted, unregistered subcontractors 30%. Those with gross payment status have nothing deducted. Rates apply to labour, not materials.
Can I get CIS deductions back?
Deductions count towards your tax and National Insurance. Sole traders claim them through Self Assessment; limited companies offset them through payroll. Any refund depends on your overall position.

Listen first. Then solve.
That's been the idea behind QK from day one, and it's still printed on the logo.
How QK started
QK Accounts was set up by Qais Khan, who left a 9-to-5 job to build a practice for the kind of clients bigger firms tend to rush: sole traders, small limited companies and people working in construction.
Most of them want the same few things. To stop worrying about HMRC deadlines. To understand what they owe and why. And to have someone who picks up the phone when a letter arrives.
That's what we try to be. We use cloud software, including QuickBooks, so your records stay up to date and easy to share, and we agree our fee before we start.

Qais talks to CEOCAST about quitting the 9-to-5 and starting QK.
