Accounting and Tax
Compliance taken care of - with insight that helps you grow
Keeping on top of accounting and tax deadlines is essential for any SME, but it can quickly become an exhausting cycle of filings, submissions and calculations. We take that weight off your shoulders, making sure you stay compliant, accurate and on time.
We work primarily with FreeAgent and Xero, ensuring your financial records are accurate, up to date, and ready to support informed decision-making. And because we take a finance business partnering approach, you don’t just get compliance - you get actionable insight along the way.
What we offer
Our Accounting and Tax service covers everything an SME needs to meet statutory requirements, and you are free to build a package that is completely bespoke to your business:
- Annual Accounts - preparation and submission under FRS105 (micro-entities) or FRS102 Section 1A (small companies).
- Corporation Tax - computations and filing of the CT600 return.
- VAT Returns - calculation and submission monthly or quarterly.
- Payroll - monthly payslips, EPS and FPS submissions, annual P11D calculations.
- Self-Assessment Tax Returns - preparation and submission of SA100 returns for Directors.
- Confirmation Statements - annual review and filing of the CS01 statement.
Alongside these core services, we can also provide:
- Bookkeeping - from full-service delivery to a “co-pilot” check-and-correct role.
- Management Accounts - bespoke reporting on the KPIs that matter to your business.
- Software setup and support - certified partner for FreeAgent and Xero, with guidance on choosing and using the right system.
- Virtual Finance Director - Providing additional support and advice to help you understand your business better.
What we do
Our approach is flexible: some clients ask us to take on their entire accounting and tax function, while others keep their existing accountant and bring us in for consultancy or bookkeeping support. Either way, you get the reassurance that your finances are in order and your business is prepared for what’s ahead. Book a short call to discuss your business and requirements, to see how we could work together.
- Improving processes - helping you streamline data capture, reconciliation and reporting
- Providing clarity - ensuring your accounts are not just filed, but understood
- Tailoring our role - whether you need us to handle everything or just specific elements alongside your current set up.
“As a small business it's been difficult to find the right accountant for our needs. However, Nick has been amazing with the level of support at the right times. He is super knowledgeable and gives great advice and we would highly recommend him to any business, big or small.”
