How It Works.

Everything you might want to know before you engage us — the process, the people, the price, and how your information is protected.

Getting Started

How does Next Tax Source actually work?
Fifteen specialist AI agents run your books, payroll and tax continuously across the US, UK and UAE. A licensed human professional — a CPA or EA, a chartered accountant, or an FTA-registered tax agent — reviews and signs every filing before it's submitted. You get the speed of software and the accountability of a signed return.
What does onboarding involve?
A short private consultation establishes your entities, jurisdictions and obligations. We connect your accounting platform and bank feeds once, map the next eighteen months of deadlines, and complete identity checks (KYC/AML). From then on, the paperwork stops being your job.
Can I switch from my current accountant?
Yes — switching is routine and we handle the handover. We request your records and authorisation from your previous accountant (professional clearance), connect your systems, and pick up without a gap. Most switches complete within days.
Which countries do you cover?
The United States (federal and all states), the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates — including cross-border situations spanning two or three of them, which is our specialism.

How We Work

Is my return prepared by AI or a human?
Both, by design. AI specialists prepare everything to a ready-to-sign standard; a licensed human professional then reviews and signs it. Nothing is filed on AI output alone — that human sign-off is the control that catches errors and carries accountability.
How fast are you?
Books are reconciled daily, questions are typically answered in minutes to hours rather than days, and every return is prepared with full workpapers well before its deadline — not in the final week.
Do you file with HMRC / the IRS / the FTA for me?
We prepare and, once a licensed professional signs, submit on your behalf as your agent — with the submission reference recorded. The one exception is anything requiring you to personally sign or authenticate, which stays with you.
Will I have a human to talk to?
Yes. You get proactive, human-overseen communication and a named point of contact on higher tiers. The AI removes the grind, not the relationship.

Pricing, Payments & Engagement

How much does it cost?
We offer indicative monthly tiers (see the Pricing page) in GBP, USD or AED, with your final fee scoped to your entities, jurisdictions and volume. The quote builder gives a fast estimate.
How do I pay?
Securely by card through our payment page — card processing is handled by Stripe, so we never see your card details. We can also bill in your preferred currency (GBP, USD or AED).
Is there a long contract?
Engagements are by a clear engagement letter and scale up or down as your business changes. We're selective — we decline more than we accept — because we'd rather do fewer engagements properly.

Trust & Data

Is my financial data safe?
Yes. Each client's data is isolated, traffic is encrypted, access is least-privilege, and we use our own in-house e-signature and secure delivery rather than third-party tools. See the Security & Privacy page for the full picture.
Who can see my information?
Only the people working your engagement, under professional duties of confidentiality. Your affairs are never discussed, referenced or compared with another client's, and your data is never used to train external models.
How do signatures work?
We prepare documents for e-signature in our own system. A licensed human releases the envelope, you sign through a secure link, and you receive the signed PDF with a Certificate of Completion — no DocuSign or WeTransfer required.
Are you compliant with GDPR and UAE data law?
We operate in line with UK GDPR, the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and applicable US privacy rules. You can request a copy or deletion of your personal data, subject to statutory retention.
