Why Whitstable businesses choose an online accountant
Switching handled for you
We request clearance and records from your previous accountant and pick up where they left off. There is no charge for moving to IGI.
Tax planning through the year
We review your position before the year ends, when there is still time to act on pensions, timing of income, allowances and the salary and dividend mix.
Making Tax Digital ready
Cloud bookkeeping with bank feeds and receipt capture is included, so your Whitstable business keeps digital records that meet HMRC’s requirements.
Online, so location is no barrier
Wherever you are in South East, your accounts, documents and messages are in one secure place you can reach from your phone or laptop.
Unlimited support included
Call, email or book a video call as often as you need. Questions about expenses, dividends or a letter from HMRC are part of the service, not an extra.
Deadline reminders, not deadline panic
We track your Self Assessment, VAT, Corporation Tax and Companies House dates and chase what we need well ahead of time.
