Taking on more work from Accountant
 

I work for a construction company as a bookkeeper and payroll clerk. Eventually I would like to be able to take more work from the Accountant as at the minute I only maintain the accounts, do VAT Return, pay HMRC Paye Tax and NIC etc.

I have discussed this with my boss and he is happy to do this as obviously it will be cheaper for him.

But what do I need in order to do this? I will be qualified up to Level 4 AAT in July hopefully and will be going on to do CIMA and ATT.

Is there any legal issues that would arise in me taking over the full accounts? Do I have to have insurance even though I am not self employed? Would I have to become self employed?

Any advice would be great thanks!

Hi Noola,

Nothing at all to stop you from doing more of the stuff which the accountant currently does. No legal issues, you don't need insurance as you are an employee, and you certainly don't have to go self employed.

The only question is whether you are competent and confident to do the work, both of which will surely come with practice.

Thanks Nick!

Possibly not too confident at the minute but I'm sure it will all come in time.
