Our position

Most accountancy is a record of the past. Filing on time is the floor, not the job.

The accounts you file are history. We prepare them properly, then use what they show: where the margin went, what the group should look like, how the money comes out, and what HMRC will ask before they ask it. That is the difference between an accountant who reports and one who tells you what to do next.

What we do

Eleven service areas. Two kinds of work.

The compliance that has to happen, and the advisory work that changes the outcome. Most firms only offer the first.

ComplianceDone to a chartered standard, on a date-driven calendar

All services
01

Accounting & Financial Reporting

Year-end accounts under the right framework, and management information you can act on.

 02

Bookkeeping & Cloud Accounting

The ledger taken off your desk, on a system that is actually set up properly.

 03

Corporate & Business Tax

The CT600 and everything behind it: structure, allowances, extraction, exit.

 04

Personal Tax & Private Client

Self Assessment through to residence, overseas property and capital gains.

 05

VAT & Indirect Tax

The quarterly cycle plus the positions behind it: schemes, property, partial exemption.

 06

Payroll, CIS & Employment Taxes

Payroll run properly, CIS handled, employment taxes dealt with in advance.

 07

Accounting Software & Systems

Xero, QuickBooks and Sage configured by chartered accountants, not resellers.

 08

Company Secretarial

Confirmation statements, share changes and the housekeeping that causes penalties.

AdvisoryThree areas most practices our size do not offer

01

R&D & Innovation Reliefs

An honest read on eligibility first. Then claims that survive scrutiny.

 02

Business Advisory & Virtual FD

Cash, margin, structure and value. Finance leadership without the salary.

 03

HMRC Enquiries & Disputes

If HMRC has written to you, the first response shapes everything that follows.

How this works

What happens when you enquire

That is the file. Four documents, one fixed fee.

Everything after that is the work itself, led by the chartered accountant you first spoke to.
