DeWyatt Financial Services provides bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, self-assessment preparation, management accounts, and software set-up for small businesses. We work with business owners, entrepreneurs, and growing companies across the UK, offering both ongoing monthly support and one-off projects.

Question 2

2. How much does bookkeeping cost with DeWyatt?

Accepted Answer

Our bookkeeping service is £25 per hour, or from £250 per month for a fixed-fee monthly package (prices exclude VAT). The fixed monthly fee is the most popular option for businesses that want predictable costs, regular financial reports, and no surprise invoices.

Question 3

3. How much does a self-assessment tax return cost?

Accepted Answer

DeWyatt prepares self-assessment tax returns for a fixed price of £240 (excluding VAT). This covers preparation and filing of your return only — it does not include any clean-up or preparatory bookkeeping work that may be required if your accounts are complicated or incomplete. If your records need tidying first, we'll quote for that separately before starting, so you always know the full cost upfront.

Question 4

4. Do you offer payroll services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DeWyatt Financial Services provides payroll set-up and processing at £20 per hour (excluding VAT), including PAYE registration support, payslips, and routine payroll management for small teams.

Question 5

5. Which accounting software do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We work with Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage, and we are a Silver Xero Partner. We can set up new software for your business, tidy up an existing setup, or migrate you from spreadsheets or another platform.

Question 6

6. Where is DeWyatt Financial Services based?

Accepted Answer

DeWyatt Financial Services is based in Norwich, Norfolk. We support clients locally in Norfolk and remotely across the UK — most of our work is delivered online, so location is never a barrier.

Question 7

7. Can you help if my books are behind or in a mess?

Accepted Answer

Yes — catch-up bookkeeping is one of the most common jobs we take on. We'll bring your records up to date, reconcile your bank accounts, and put a simple monthly system in place so the backlog doesn't happen again.

Question 8

8. Do you handle VAT registration and VAT returns?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DeWyatt handles UK and EU VAT registration, VAT return preparation, and submission under Making Tax Digital (MTD). We can also review whether you should be VAT registered and which VAT scheme suits your business.

Question 9

9. What types of businesses do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We work with sole traders, limited companies, and growing businesses of all types. We specialise in retail, e-commerce, and SaaS, but we work with companies across many industries — our client base and internal experience cover a wide range of sectors. Our services suit business owners who want clear monthly numbers without hiring an in-house finance team, regardless of your industry.

Question 10

10. What's the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant — and which do I need?

Accepted Answer

A bookkeeper keeps your day-to-day records accurate (sales, purchases, bank reconciliation), while an accountant uses those records for reporting, tax, and advice. DeWyatt provides both: accurate bookkeeping plus the reporting and insight to help you understand and grow your business.

Question 11

11. What does the onboarding process look like?

Accepted Answer

It's simple: we start with a short conversation about your business, agree a fixed scope and price, and handle the software access and handover from there. Most new clients are fully set up within a week.

Question 12

12. Are your prices fixed or hourly?

Accepted Answer

Both options are available. Ongoing clients typically choose a fixed monthly fee (from £250/month) so costs are predictable, while one-off projects and smaller jobs can be billed hourly. All prices shown exclude VAT, and we agree the fee before any work begins. To learn more about which option suits your business, book a free consultation call here.
