Fixed, upfront pricing

You'll know the cost before we start: no hourly billing surprises.

We track every filing date and chase you (kindly) well before it's due.

Cloud-based, always up to date

We work in Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and Sage, so your numbers are live, not last quarter's.

Common questions

Do you work with sole traders as well as limited companies?

Yes, we support sole traders, partnerships, contractors and limited companies, from just-starting-out to established small businesses. Not sure which structure suits you? See our sole trader vs limited company guide. Contracting through your own company? Our IR35 guide covers the off-payroll working rules.

What's the difference between Self Assessment and Corporation Tax?

Self Assessment is your personal tax return, needed if you're a sole trader, landlord, or have other untaxed income. Corporation Tax applies to limited companies on their profits, filed separately via a CT600.

I'm not currently using Xero or QuickBooks, can you help me set up?

Absolutely. We work on both platforms and can get you set up from scratch, or tidy up an existing account that's fallen behind.

How much do your services cost?

Our packages have fixed monthly fees, or you can pay annually and save 10%. You see the exact price before you sign up, so there are no surprise invoices. See our Pricing page to build your exact price.

Can you take over from my current accountant mid-year?

Yes, this is very common. We handle the professional handover directly with your previous accountant and update HMRC, so there's minimal disruption for you.
