Coveney Nicholls Chartered Accountants — 5★ (6 reviews). Coveney Nicholls Chartered Accountants provide a range of accounting services including corporate and private services such as audit, bookkeeping, business advisory, tax planning, and compliance. Base Based at The Old Wheel House, Church St, Reigate RH2 0AD, UK.
Start with qualifications — look for ACCA, ICAEW, AAT or CIMA letters after the name. Then check Google reviews (real client volume matters more than a perfect 5.0), confirm fixed-fee pricing in writing, and ask whether they specialise in your situation (sole trader, limited company, landlord, contractor). Most Reigate firms offer a free initial chat, so shortlist two or three before deciding.
How much do accountants in Reigate typically charge?
A simple self-assessment tax return in Reigate runs £150–£300, a sole trader return £250–£500, and small limited company accounts plus corporation tax £600–£1,500 a year. Monthly bookkeeping starts around £80, contractor packages around £100/month, and full advisory retainers from £250 up. Always ask for a fixed quote rather than an hourly rate.
Do Reigate accountants work remotely or in person?
Most Reigate practices now work hybrid — cloud software, secure document portals and video calls for routine work, with in-person meetings reserved for onboarding, tax planning and year-end reviews. If face-to-face matters to you, confirm office hours and meeting availability before signing the engagement letter.
What accounting software do Reigate firms recommend?
Xero, QuickBooks Online and FreeAgent (free with some business bank accounts) dominate. All three are Making Tax Digital compatible. The best choice usually depends on which platform your accountant uses every day — the integration and shared access matter more than the brand.
Can a Reigate accountant deal with HMRC on my behalf?
Yes — once you sign a 64-8 agent authorisation, your accountant becomes your appointed agent with HMRC. They can respond to letters, handle compliance checks, attend VAT and PAYE inspections, and represent you in formal enquiries. This is one of the most valuable parts of having an accountant.
