A named accountant
02One qualified accountant owns your file and answers your emails. No ticket queue, and no re-explaining your business to someone new each year.
Fixed fees, in writing
03We scope the work on a free first call and confirm one fixed fee in an engagement letter before anything starts, so the invoice never surprises you.
Scottish tax as standard
04Six Scottish income tax bands, LBTT and the Additional Dwelling Supplement are everyday work for a Glasgow practice — not an exception a UK-wide online firm has to look up.
Deadlines tracked for you
05Self Assessment, VAT, payroll, confirmation statements and Corporation Tax deadlines are diarised for every client, with reminders well before HMRC's penalties start.
Making Tax Digital ready
06Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent set up properly, so MTD for VAT and the quarterly Income Tax updates are a routine submission rather than a scramble.

How much do accountants charge in Glasgow?
Our fixed-fee packages start from around £35/month for sole trader self-assessment and from around £95/month for a small limited company (year-end accounts, CT600, director self-assessment, and a confirmation statement). VAT, payroll, and bookkeeping are priced as add-ons based on transaction volume. We agree the full fee upfront before any work begins, so there are no surprises on your invoice.
Are you chartered accountants in Glasgow?
Yes. Countify is an ACCA-regulated practice of Chartered Certified Accountants based in Glasgow city centre. Both founding partners are ACCA-qualified, so you get qualified expertise on year-end accounts, corporation tax, self-assessment and tax planning — not junior staff.
Are you accountants for small businesses and small companies?
Yes. Countify are accountants for small businesses and small companies across Glasgow and the UK, supporting sole traders, the self-employed and limited-company directors with self-assessment, VAT, payroll, year-end accounts and tax planning under Scottish income tax rates. Fees are fixed and agreed upfront.
Do I need an accountant if I'm a sole trader?
You are not legally required to use an accountant as a sole trader, but most find the cost more than pays for itself. An accountant helps keep self-assessment accurate, claims allowable expenses, and can reduce tax risk.
What is Making Tax Digital and does it affect me?
Making Tax Digital is HMRC's programme to move tax administration online. MTD for VAT is already mandatory for VAT-registered businesses. MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment has applied since 6 April 2026 to sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000; the threshold falls to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028.
How do I switch accountants to Countify?
Once you instruct us, we contact your previous accountant directly to obtain the files and records we need. Most switches are completed within a few days without a gap in service.
Do you work with clients outside Glasgow?
Yes. While we are based in Glasgow city centre, we serve clients across Scotland and throughout the UK through cloud accounting software and video calls.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. Your first consultation is free with no obligation. We review your situation, explain what's involved, and give you a fixed-fee quote before any work begins.
What accounting software do you use?
We work with Xero, QuickBooks Online, and FreeAgent. We can help you set up on any of these platforms or migrate from your current system.
