PASS Service Charge Accountants

Would you assume that a specialist costs more?

This is something we hear quite often, and clients are surprised that even though we are specialists, we are still incredibly competitive - and often much less expensive - than other, more generalist accountants.

As an example, we recently took on a new client with a portfolio of 22 properties. After discussing their needs and reviewing their set up, we reduced their annual accounting cost from £12,000 to £7,500!

That's a saving of £4,500 every year.

For any business, that's a significant saving. And all the while knowing that their accounts are now being looked after by experts.

We've found that clients who move to us typically save 20 - 30% on their annual accounting cost. We offer specialist service and better value.

Are you ready to see what we could save you on your Service Charge accounts? Get in touch and we'd be happy to provide a no-obligation quote.

A big congratulations to Freya, Jake and Katie! 👏🥳

We're incredibly proud to celebrate them all successfully completing their apprenticeship programme with Bournemouth & Poole College and achieving their AAT Level 2 qualification.

It means so much to us to support our team with their professional development, seeing them flourish and their confidence grow. They work incredibly hard every day to support our clients, and we're so grateful to have them.

Well done to all three of you - a fantastic achievement!

The industry norm is up to 3 months...

It's not uncommon for service charge accounts to take that long to come back.

At PASS, our typical turnaround is just 2-4 weeks.

That means managing agents, freeholders and leaseholders aren't left waiting months for financial information, only to discover queries or issues much later in the process.

Faster accounts mean:

✓ Earlier visibility of financial performance
✓ More time to answer questions
✓ Fewer last-minute surprises
✓ Better communication with leaseholders

We know speed matters. But accuracy matters too.

That's why we've built our entire process around specialist service charge accounting, supported by our own PASS Portal and a team who deal with these accounts day in, day out.

A massive thank you to The Property Institute for another fantastic evening at this year's ACE Awards!

We made and renewed so many important connections and were inspired by how much has been achieved across the industry over the last year.

And most importantly, we came home incredibly proud of our team who have worked so hard for our clients, always going the extra mile to deliver fantastic service, quick turnarounds and higher standards. To even be shortlisted is a huge achievement.

Congratulations to all of the winners, and thank you to everyone who continues to support PASS.

(Sorry, not sorry... we're definitely getting caught up in all the World Cup excitement!)

If there's one thing every successful team knows, it's that standing still rarely gets you anywhere. The same can be true for service charge accounting.

If your usual accountant is taking too long, hard to get hold of or just not familiar enough with the specific regulations and technicalities involved, it might be time to try a different approach.

Sometimes the smartest move is simply knowing when to make the pass!

Big changes are coming to Companies House filing.

Soon, you won’t be able to file statutory accounts using the current online system, meaning specialist software will be required going forward.

For many, this will mean:

✔️Changing processes
✔️New systems
✔️Increased risk of mistakes

We’re already helping clients prepare - ensuring everything remains compliant, accurate, and stress-free.

If you’re unsure what this means for you, now’s the time to ask. Feel free to drop us a message or give us a call on 01202 619917

Just one week to go until the TPI ACE Awards!

We'll let the numbers speak for themselves...

In the last 12 months, here's just some of the work achieved by our specialist team:

✨ 200+ trust registrations
✨ 300+ trust tax returns
✨ 250+ statutory accounts
✨ 100+ tax returns

And because we're uniquely qualified in Service Charge Accounting, we've been able to resolve legacy compliance errors for our clients, saving them huge amounts of time, money and stress:

✨ Resolution of £10k+ in HMRC penalties resulting from previous accountant errors
✨ Correction of 50+ statutory reporting errors resulting from previous accountant errors

If it's time for a different approach to your Service Charge Accounting, we'd love to hear from you.

A lot of what we do at PASS comes down to being reliable and responsive when clients need us most.

That might mean turning work around quickly to help a Managing Agent meet a deadline, resolving a difficult situation caused by historic issues, or simply being available to answer questions for your lessees.

We know Service Charge Accounting can become stressful very quickly when communication is poor or timelines slip. That’s why we put a lot of emphasis on being responsive, practical and straightforward to deal with - while still delivering work to a high standard and at great value for money.

Over time, that approach has helped us build long-term relationships with managing agents and property professionals who value consistency and specialist knowledge just as much as price.

And that's also why we've been shortlisted for Service Charge Accountant of the Year at the ACE Awards for the second year running!
