Find answers to commonly asked questions about our services and business
Do you only work with clients in a specific region?
At Vortax, we work with directors, management, and business owners both locally and across the UK.
We proudly support clients in East Anglia, including Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth, Norwich, King’s Lynn, Cambridge, and surrounding areas. Many of our clients enjoy the convenience of working with a local Chartered Tax Adviser who understands the regional business landscape and offers a genuinely personal service.
But our reach doesn’t stop there, we also provide tax advice and accountancy support nationwide. Whether you’re based in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, or anywhere else in the UK, our remote-friendly service means you can access expert tax support wherever you are. We use secure communication tools to offer efficient, one-to-one advice via phone, email, or video calls.
From self-assessment tax returns and HMRC correspondence to limited company accounts and tax planning, Vortax is here to make your life easier, locally and nationwide.
How much do you charge?
Pricing is transparent and tailored depending on your needs. You’ll always know upfront, no surprises.
Is it worth using a tax adviser if I already use accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero?
Definitely. While software helps with data entry, it doesn’t give you strategic tax advice or help you avoid costly mistakes. We complement tools like Xero, FreeAgent, and QuickBooks with real-world expertise and planning.
