When becoming a new client of Orchard Business Services we will ask you to sign our letter of engagement, which outlays your responsibilities as a client and also our responsibilities to you. We will request agent authorisation with HMRC, to be able to access your online HMRC account and be able to speak with them on your behalf. For anti-money laundering regulation purposes we must have a copy of your photo identification before any work is carried out.

All services can be provided stand alone, or most commonly we provide clients with a complete accounting package covering all the services they need much more efficiently. We work with Sage Accounting, Quickbooks, Xero and many more bookkeeping programs, offering one to one help in getting set up and using the pogram correctly if needed. This is often the preferred method in keeping organised paperless bookkeeping and compliant with MTD for VAT and Income Tax.
