Frequently Asked Questions

Ridgefield Consulting is an independent family-run firm of chartered accountants based in Oxford. We’ve been providing some of the highest quality tax and accounting support to local businesses around Oxfordshire since 2010 and have become the accounting firm with the most 5 stars reviews in Oxford on Google.

Our client portfolio ranges vastly across industries but we’re well experienced with helping tradespeople and contractors, agencies and consultants, private residential landlords and high-innovation technology companies seeking out R&D tax credits expertise.

We do welcome clients from different backgrounds and offer an introductory consultation so that we can introduce ourselves, find out more about you, and give you a chance to see if we would be a good fit for your needs.

Company formation agents and solicitors are other professionals that can help you set up a limited company. You can even set up your own limited company yourself. However, using chartered accountants can have added benefits:

Provide expert tax advice to help you minimise your tax payments
Provide explanation and reminders of all your tax deadlines
Help you complete all necessary tax calculations

Ridgefield Consulting does not operate on fixed-fee charges. That’s because we don’t believe anyone should have to pay for more than what they need. A majority of our clients who use us for company formation will often choose to also use us to help with their company tax return and other tax and accounting requirements for the business. As such our introductory consultation is a great way to discuss the level of support you need. Tell us what it is you’re looking for and we’ll provide a clear line by line quote (we strive to do so within two working days) so that our fee is completely transparent to you.
