Frequently asked questions

Answers to the common questions.

Anything else? Your dedicated accountant will answer on your welcome call — or WhatsApp us before you sign up.

How does the discount work?
The intro offer shown on the sign-up card is applied automatically at checkout — no code to type in. You'll pay the discounted rate for the stated intro period, then the standard monthly price from the following month. Cancel any time during or after — rolling monthly, no lock-in.
Can I switch from my current accountant?
Yes — switching is free and we handle the entire handover. Once you sign up, your dedicated accountant emails your previous accountant for the professional clearance letter and transfers records. You don't chase anything. Most switches complete within 2–3 weeks.
What payment methods do you accept?
Credit and debit cards via our secure Outseta checkout. Direct Debit is available on request for accounts in good standing after the first 3 months. All payments processed in GBP.
What happens if I cancel?
You remain covered until the end of the current billing month. We complete any filings already in progress, provide copies of your records, and hand over cleanly to a new accountant if you're switching. 30 days' written notice required.
What if I cross the VAT threshold mid-year?
No problem. You can add the VAT returns add-on (£24/mo) at any time, or upgrade to Operate Bundle where VAT is included. Your accountant flags the threshold in your quarterly insights so you're never caught off guard.
Is my data secure?
Yes. We're ICO-registered for UK data protection, store data in UK-based infrastructure, use encrypted transmission, and follow GDPR principles. Our privacy policy and data-processing agreement are at goforma.com/privacy.
Are your accountants actually qualified?
Yes — every GoForma accountant is ACCA or AAT qualified with years of UK small business experience. You'll be matched with a named accountant on your welcome call, not assigned to a queue. We also carry £2m Professional Indemnity Insurance.
What accounting software do you use?
A premium FreeAgent licence is included free — covering invoicing, expenses, bank feeds, mileage and tax timelines. We also support Xero if you already have a subscription (bring-your-own licence).
Do you file my Self Assessment tax return?
Self Assessment isn't included in Start Bundle, but you can add it as a £198 one-off when your return is due. Or upgrade to Operate Bundle where one director's Self Assessment is included each year.
How soon can I get started?
Within 48 hours of sign-up you'll have your welcome call booked and your FreeAgent account ready. Full onboarding (including previous accountant handover) typically completes within 5–7 working days.
Can I speak to someone before signing up?
Yes — you can book a free 15-minute consultation with one of our qualified accountants. We'll walk through your setup, answer questions, and confirm which package suits your situation. No sales pressure.
Rolling monthly — 30 days' notice to cancel
No fixed-term contract. Cancel any time with 30 days' written notice so we can complete any filings in progress and hand over your records cleanly.
Free company formation terms
If you incorporate your limited company through GoForma under a discounted bundle and cancel within 6 months, the standard £158 formation fee becomes payable.
Fair use on support
Unlimited bookable support covers business-hours accountancy queries. Repeated out-of-hours work or project-level advisory (investor decks, business valuations, bespoke tax planning) may be quoted separately.
Data protection & GDPR
Your data is stored securely in UK-based infrastructure and processed under our ICO registration. Full data-processing agreement and privacy policy available at goforma.com/privacy.
Professional indemnity insurance
GoForma carries £2m Professional Indemnity Insurance. ACCA and AAT qualified accountants work to those bodies' professional standards.
Late payment
If your subscription lapses for more than 14 days, in-progress filings may be paused until billing is reinstated. Reinstatement incurs no penalty — we'll just pick up where we left off.
