How it works
How it works
Motor Trade Accounting makes it straightforward for motor trade businesses across the UK to get specialist accounting support. Here's what happens from the moment you get in touch.
From first enquiry to ongoing support
- 1
Send an enquiry
Use the enquiry form to tell us your name, your business and what you need help with. A sentence or two is plenty.
- 2
A conversation with a specialist
A qualified accountant who works with motor trade businesses gets in touch to understand how your business runs, how your accounts and VAT are handled now and what you want to change.
- 3
A clear proposal
You'll get a clear explanation of the support recommended, what it covers and what it costs. Nothing starts until you're happy.
- 4
Switching made easy
If you already have an accountant, your new one contacts them for the records and information needed, so the handover doesn't land on you.
- 5
Support through the year
Accounts, returns and deadlines handled, with someone to call when a question comes up between them.
Partnering with your business
Good accounting for the motor trade is more than filing accounts once a year.
A sounding board
Someone to talk through a tough decision with, whether that's a second site, a new ramp or taking on staff.
Streamlined systems
Paperwork, stock records and bookkeeping set up so they take less of your time each week.
Explaining the numbers
No jargon. Your figures translated into what they mean for the business and what to do about it.
Planning ahead
Growing margins, expanding or planning an eventual sale, with the financial path mapped out.
Useful to have to hand
None of this is needed to send an enquiry, but it helps the first conversation go further.
- Your last set of accounts and tax returns
- Your VAT registration details and which schemes you use
- How you keep your books now, and in what software
- A rough idea of turnover, staff numbers and stock levels
- The questions or worries that prompted you to get in touch
Questions about getting started
Who will I speak to?
A qualified accountant who works with motor trade businesses and understands the VAT, stock and finance questions the trade brings.
Is there any obligation after the first call?
No. The first conversation is to understand your business and what you need. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get help if I'm only just starting out?
Yes. Getting the structure, registrations and record keeping right from the start saves a lot of work later.
Does it matter where in the UK my business is?
No. Support is available to motor trade businesses across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with meetings by phone or video where that suits.
Ready to move your business forward?
Tell us what's on your mind, whether it's VAT, a messy set of books or a plan to grow. A specialist motor trade accountant will talk it through with you.
