Accountants for Landlords

Earning extra cash through renting out properties? Be it one, two or dozens of houses, being a landlord can be a difficult gig. Maintaining properties to a good standard, making sure rooms are always filled and extensive home renovating are all of your part repertoire.

How to work as a landlord

As a landlord, you're used to communicating with a number of tenants to help serve their wants and needs. However, it’s not all loft conversions and kitchen makeovers, unfortunately, you have to get into the nitty-gritty of your accounts too.

You’re responsible for keeping up with complex housing and renting laws, that can have a dramatic effect on your earned income. The good news is it doesn’t have to be that hard. At SJD, we can delve into your finances to make sure you’re paying the right level of tax in an efficient and compliant manner.

Why should landlords appoint an accountant?

Simply put, you will save time. As a landlord you’re regularly juggling different requests from different tenants, advertising new homes and liaising with letting agents. Do you want accounting to be added to the list?

Moreover, how much do you value your time? If you believe you’re worth £60 an hour, but your accounts take 7 hours a month to complete. Then as a value of your time, it costs you £420 a month. Seeing as our packages start at £40 per month, the cost of hiring an accountant makes sense.
