Services

Everything, itemised.

Hand over everything, or bring us one job. Both work here. Fees are agreed before we start, and you only pay for what you use.

Year-end accounts

Statutory accounts prepared from clean records, checked line by line, and filed on time with Companies House and HMRC. Before anything is submitted, we walk you through what the numbers say. You should never learn something about your own business from a filing.

Bookkeeping

Weekly or monthly, cloud software or a carrier bag of receipts, we work with what you have. The books stay current, so every other job gets faster and cheaper. By the time year-end arrives, it is a formality rather than an excavation.

Corporation tax & self-assessment

Corporation tax and self-assessment, prepared carefully, with reliefs claimed where they genuinely apply and nowhere they do not. You review and approve every return before it reaches HMRC. You will know the bill months before it is due, not from a letter.

VAT & Making Tax Digital

Registration when the numbers say so, quarterly returns prepared and checked, and MTD-compliant software set up properly the first time. We put you on the right scheme for how you trade. You will notice VAT four times a year, briefly.

Payroll & pensions

Payslips out on the day people expect them, every time. RTI submissions filed, auto-enrolment duties met, starters and leavers handled without fuss. Payroll should be invisible, and we keep it that way.

Advice & planning

Buying equipment, taking on staff, paying yourself sensibly, weighing salary against dividends. You get a considered answer before the decision, not commentary after it. Questions are not billable events here, so you can actually pick up the phone.

Asked and answered.

We already have an accountant. Is switching painful?

Not for you. Tell your current accountant you are moving, or we will draft that note for you. We request the handover records directly, which is a standard professional courtesy, and carry on from there. Your part is roughly one email.

How do your fees work?

Agreed in writing before any work starts, then fixed. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices, no charge for asking a question. If the scope changes, the fee changes only after we have discussed it with you.

My books are a mess. How bad is too bad?

There is no too bad. A shoebox of receipts, years of backlog, a spreadsheet that stopped making sense in March: bring it, and nobody here will judge it. We tidy it once, properly, then keep it tidy so it never happens again.

Do you only work with limited companies?

No. Limited companies, sole traders and partnerships are all welcome. If you are not sure which you should be, that is a good first conversation to have.

How quickly do you respond?

Usually within one working day. If it is urgent, phone. A call always beats an inbox.

The first call takes ten minutes.

Tell us where things stand. You will get an honest read on what needs doing, what it will cost, and what happens next.
