GoForma, particularly Jordan Macey from GoForma, have been fantastic from the moment I have been with them. Consistently taking the time to provide the highest standard of advice. They have even continued with their fantastic service when due to financial difficulties I had to pause payment.

Online Accountant FAQs

Everything you need to know about our remote online accounting service for small businesses and individuals across the UK. Can't find the answer?

Contact us
  • What do online accountants do?

    Online accountants manage your accounts and tax affairs remotely using secure cloud software. It’s a modern way to get full accountancy support without visiting an office. We offer all traditional services remotely – accounts, VAT, tax – with personal support from a dedicated online accountant.

  • Is it safe, secure and compliant?

    Our experienced online accountants use encrypted cloud accounting software that meets UK GDPR standards to protect your financial information. Digital accounting systems often offer stronger protection than paper records, with restricted access controls, automatic backups and clear audit trails. This keeps your data secure while supporting full compliance with UK regulations.

  • Is online accounting cheaper than traditional accounting?

    Often yes. Online accounting typically costs less than traditional high street firms because it uses digital tools and remote communication. You still get qualified accountants handling tax returns, bookkeeping, VAT and payroll, but with lower overheads and more flexible monthly pricing.

  • Do I get a real accountant or just software?

    You get both. A named accountant supports you directly, and we include FreeAgent software in your plan for real-time tracking.

  • How does your London virtual office work?

    Use our London address as your business location on public records and for mail. It boosts credibility while keeping your home private.

  • Are your accountants suitable for UK limited companies?

    Yes. Our online accountants specialise in supporting UK limited companies. We prepare annual accounts, file corporation tax returns, manage payroll and dividends, submit confirmation statements and handle VAT where required.

  • Can I switch my current accountant easily?

    Yes, you can switch to GoForma accountants at any time. Our online accountants manage the transfer process for you, including contacting your current accountant, arranging professional clearance and setting up HMRC authorisation.

  • What type of businesses do you work with?

    We support self employed individuals, freelancers, startups, sole traders, limited companies, contractors, eCommerce businesses, landlords, and more – anywhere in the UK.
