FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes BC&A Romsey different from other local accountants?
We’re not a faceless national firm: we’ve been based in Romsey for over 30 years, working with trades, farmers, and local businesses who value personal service and clear advice. You’ll always deal with the same people, and we’ll explain everything in plain English. Plus, as part of BC&A Chartered Accountants, we can connect you to specialist expertise across R&D tax, audit, and corporate finance when you need it.
Do you work with garages and mechanics?
Yes! We’ve worked with independent garages, MOT centres, and bodyshops across Hampshire for decades. We help manage everything from payroll and subcontractor payments to VAT on parts and labour. Whether you’re self-employed or running a busy workshop, we’ll make sure your books and tax returns are accurate, compliant, and stress-free.
How can you help car dealerships and vehicle traders?
The motor trade has complex tax and VAT rules — especially around margin schemes, part exchanges, and stock management. We’ll help you stay compliant, improve cash flow, and make smarter financial decisions. We also advise on business structures, company vehicles, and capital allowances for equipment or premises upgrades.
Do you work with motorsport or performance engineering businesses?
Absolutely. We’re proud to support Hampshire’s motorsport and precision engineering sector, from small performance garages to parts manufacturers. We understand the project-based nature of motorsport work and can help you manage R&D claims, subcontractors, and cross-border VAT on high-value equipment.
Can you help agri-tech or farming technology companies?
Yes — through our in-house BC&A Innovation team, we help agri-tech businesses claim R&D tax relief for projects such as new crop technology, soil monitoring systems, and sustainable farming solutions. Many agricultural businesses don’t realise how much their innovation work qualifies for HMRC incentives — we make sure you don’t miss out.
Do you only work in Romsey?
While we’re based in Romsey, we support clients across Hampshire and the South Coast — including Eastleigh, Winchester, Salisbury, Totton, the New Forest, and beyond. Many of our clients prefer face-to-face meetings, but we also offer remote services for businesses further afield.
How do your fees work?
We believe in transparent, fixed fees — agreed in advance, with no hidden costs. You’ll always know what you’re paying for and what’s included. We also offer tailored packages for trades, farms, and small businesses, so you get exactly the level of support you need.
Can you help me move from another accountant?
Yes — and it’s easier than you might think. We handle the entire handover process with your previous accountant, transfer all your records securely, and make sure your accounting continues without interruption. You won’t need to deal with any awkward admin.
Do you offer a free initial consultation?
Yes. We offer a no-obligation chat where we’ll review your accounts, discuss your goals, and highlight ways to save tax, improve profitability, and simplify your finances. Whether you’re running a farm, garage, or family business, it’s a great way to see how we can help.
