Finovra/FAQ

Questions

Before you get in touch.

Do I need to be in Manchester?+

No. Our head office is in Manchester and we're happy to meet in person, but we work with businesses across the UK. Everything runs remotely — email, video call and a shared portal.

How do I leave my current accountant?+

You send them one short email saying you're moving. We request professional clearance and handle the record transfer directly with them. You don't need to manage any of the awkward part.

What software do you work with?+

Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent, plus receipt capture and automation tools on top. If you're already on one of these we'll work in it rather than move you.

My books are a mess. Is that a problem?+

It's extremely common and it's not a problem. We'll tell you at the free review what the catch-up work involves and quote it separately, so there's no open-ended bill.

Can you run our payroll?+

Yes. RTI submissions to HMRC, payslips, pension auto-enrolment and starters and leavers, run to your pay date — weekly, fortnightly or monthly. If you're moving from another provider we'll handle the transfer of your payroll records.

Can you do the technology work as well as the accounts?+

Yes, and many clients do both. Websites, custom software, automation, SEO and lead generation are quoted separately from your accounting fee, so you always see what each part costs.

What is the SAP division, and why does an accountancy firm have one?+

Because the expertise is genuinely in the family. Finovra SAP is a separate division serving enterprise clients with SAP S/4HANA, ONESOURCE and OpenText VIM work. It is staffed separately from the accountancy practice and the two do not share client work. If you're here for your year-end accounts, it has no bearing on you.

Are you regulated?+

Finovra Ltd is registered in England and Wales, company number 17475094.
