Terms of Service

By accessing our website or engaging our professional services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not use our website or services.

These terms apply to all visitors, clients, and any other persons who access or use our services. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and any changes will be effective immediately upon publication on this page.

London Accountant provides professional accounting, tax, and advisory services to individuals and businesses. Our services include, but are not limited to:

• Annual accounts preparation and filing.
• Self-assessment and corporation tax returns.
• VAT registration, returns, and compliance.
• Payroll and auto-enrolment pension administration.
• Bookkeeping and management accounts.
• Company formation and company secretarial services.
• Tax planning and advisory services.

The specific scope of services will be agreed in a separate engagement letter or service agreement between you and London Accountants before any work commences.

Our fees will be clearly communicated to you before we begin any work, either as a fixed-fee quote or an estimate based on the scope of work involved. Specific fee arrangements will be set out in your engagement letter.

• Invoices are issued monthly or upon completion of the agreed work, depending on the arrangement.
• Payment is due within 14 days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue invoices at a rate of 4% above the Bank of England base rate, in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
• We may suspend services if invoices remain unpaid beyond the agreed payment terms.

To enable us to provide our services effectively, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely information and documentation as requested.
• Notify us promptly of any changes to your circumstances that may affect the services we provide.
• Respond to our communications and requests for information within reasonable timeframes, particularly in relation to statutory deadlines.
• Ensure that any information you provide to us is truthful and not misleading. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information supplied.

We cannot be held responsible for any penalties, fines, or adverse outcomes arising from your failure to provide information in a timely manner or from the provision of inaccurate or incomplete data.

We treat all client information as confidential and will not disclose it to third parties without your prior consent, except where:

• Disclosure is required by law, regulation, or a court order.
• Disclosure is necessary to fulfil our professional duties (e.g., filing returns with HMRC on your behalf).
• We are required to disclose information under anti-money laundering legislation or other regulatory requirements.

Our confidentiality obligations continue even after our professional relationship with you has ended.

While we exercise reasonable care and skill in the provision of our services, our liability is subject to the following limitations:

• Our total aggregate liability in respect of any claim arising out of or in connection with our services shall not exceed the fees paid by you in relation to the specific engagement giving rise to the claim, unless otherwise agreed in your engagement letter.
• We shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or special losses, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of goodwill.
• We are not responsible for any loss arising from your failure to act on our advice or from decisions made without consulting us.
• The information on our website is provided for general guidance only and does not constitute professional advice. You should not act upon it without seeking specific professional counsel.

Either party may terminate the engagement by providing reasonable written notice to the other party. In the event of termination:

• You will be liable for fees in respect of all work completed and any work in progress up to the date of termination.
• We will return all original documents and records to you, subject to any lien we may exercise for unpaid fees.
• We will assist with the orderly handover of your affairs to a successor accountant where reasonably requested.

We reserve the right to terminate our engagement immediately if we become aware of illegal activities, conflicts of interest, or a breakdown in the working relationship.

These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
