Messy books? Start here
Behind with your accounts, or let down by your last accountant?
It happens far more often than people admit. Most of the businesses that come to us aren't disorganised, they're busy. Somewhere along the way the paperwork slipped, or the person meant to be looking after it stopped answering. Whatever state things are in, we've seen worse.
Filings are overdue
Accounts, tax returns or VAT that should have gone in months (or years) ago, and letters from HMRC or Companies House you'd rather not open.
Your accountant has gone quiet
Emails unanswered, deadlines missed, and no real idea where you stand until a penalty notice turns up.
Records are missing or a mess
Receipts in a drawer, bank statements you can't find, a ledger nobody has reconciled. We can work from what you have.
You've never trusted the numbers
Accounts that get filed but never explained, and a nagging feeling you're paying more tax than you should.
We clean up the confusion and get you fully compliant.Book a free consultation
How switching to us works

Backlogs cleared, ledgers fixed and overdue returns filed, in order of what matters most.

Stay on top of it
Once you're up to date, we keep you there with clear deadlines and regular check-ins.
What we do
Accounts, tax, payroll and advice, handled by one person
From year-end accounts to monthly payroll and CIS, it's all handled by the same person who knows your business inside out.
Accounts & compliance
Year-end accounts and tax returns for limited companies, sole traders and partnerships, filed accurately and on time.
Bookkeeping & advisory
Up-to-date books and regular management accounts, so your decisions are based on real, current figures.
VAT, payroll & CIS
The monthly and quarterly filings that keep you on the right side of HMRC and Companies House.
Rescue & takeover
Taking over from a previous accountant, clearing backlogs and filing overdue returns so you can start fresh.
Sectors & entities
Deep experience in a few sectors. Open to every business.
Every client is treated individually. We know the particular rules and pressures in construction, hospitality and locum work, and we bring the same care to commercial businesses of every kind.
Hospitality
Restaurants, takeaways, cafés and bars. Payroll for changing staff rotas, VAT on food and drink, and management accounts that show where the margin is really going.
Locums
Locum doctors, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals working self-employed or through their own company.
Growing businesses in any industry
Retail, e-commerce, property, professional services, trades and start-ups. If you're serious about growing, we'd like to hear from you, whatever you do.

- Limited companies
- Sole traders
- Partnerships

The 1-to-1 difference
You deal with a qualified accountant. Not a different junior every year.
At a lot of firms, the person who wins your business isn't the person who does your accounts. At IM Advice, Ibrahim does the work himself, so the advice you get comes from someone who actually knows your numbers.
Ibrahim is a Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA, CGMA) with a background as a financial controller in corporate finance. That's the same rigour he now brings to owner-managed businesses.
