Virtual assistants for accountants
At Feral HQ, we understand how accounting firms actually work. Our virtual assistants are also experienced bookkeepers and can provide proper, hands-on support to keep your practice moving. If you want more time to focus on high-value work, allow us to step in and tame the everyday chaos.
Specialise virtual assistants for accounting firms
Looking for reliable and skilled support for your accounting firm? At Feral HQ, we are experienced bookkeepers, administrators and ops specialists. So, if you need more than just ‘a bit of admin’, you’re in the right place.
When you work with Feral HQ, you can unburden yourself of mundane administrative tasks like bank reconciliations. But we’ll go further than that if you need us to. We will happily keep your inbox clear and chase up clients, but we can also take on more complex bookkeeping and accounting tasks to help keep your practice ticking over.
Our team lives and breathes financial management. We’re fluent in tools like Sliq360, Pixie and Client Engager, and how they integrate with your stack. Crucially, we also understand the daily rhythm of accounting firms and can slot seamlessly into your existing processes.
Whether you’re a growing accountancy firm or an established practice that’s feeling stretched, we can bring order where there is chaos and create much-needed breathing space.
Say goodbye to repetitive tasks and spend your time on work that’s more valuable to your business.
Our accounting virtual assistant services
Outsourcing tasks to a VA is a cost-effective solution for smaller or new accounting firms, compared to recruiting in-house or burdening your best minds with mundane admin tasks.
Client communication management
Client communication is one of the biggest differentiators for accounting firms, so it’s essential to stay on top of it. If there just aren’t enough hours in the day to return client phone calls or chase people up, we can help. We’ll stay on top of comms to help meet client expectations and help your company build a reputation for great client service.
Compliance tasks
It’s easy for compliance tasks to get lost in the everyday noise, even for accountants. We can take the pressure off by scheduling and carrying out essential tasks, such as Companies House confirmation statements. We can help manage statutory deadlines, liaise with HMRC and make sure everything is logged properly so nothing slips through the cracks.
Onboarding support
We can help to get new client relationships off to a great start. We’ll help manage HMRC registrations and authorisations, gather and organise documentation, support AML checks, and ensure client data is correctly set in both your cloud-based accounting software and internal systems.
Client liabilities and HMRC reconciliations
We support the management of client tax liabilities by reconciling self-assessments and other HMRC balances, tracking payments made, and flagging discrepancies early. If figures don’t align, we’ll investigate the details and keep you informed well ahead of key deadlines.
Invoicing and payment management
We can also support your firm’s invoicing and payment processes by tracking issued invoices, monitoring incoming payments, and following up on outstanding amounts. This keeps your cash flow predictable and frees up your team from routine credit control.
Adhoc bookkeeping services
Because we’re also a bookkeeping practice, you can entrust complex financial data to us. Amongst other things, we can take on ad hoc bookkeeping support, CIS processing (you’re welcome) and VAT and PAYE registrations.
Operational admin that grows with your practice
While we’re reliable administrators, we’re also highly experienced in operational development. We can bring structure to your workflows, build templates, set up automations, and integrate systems. We’ll help create a solid foundation to ensure the wheels don’t come off as your firm grows.
