Accounting, tax & advisory services

A limited company has to file annual accounts with Companies House and a Corporation Tax return with HMRC every year, and the deadlines don't move. We prepare both from your records, talk you through the figures before anything is submitted, and make sure the tax is paid on time.

• Statutory annual accounts prepared and filed with Companies House
• Corporation Tax computations and CT600 returns
• Director's loan account reviews and clear-downs
• Advice on salary and dividends for directors

Overdrawn director's loan? If money taken out of the company isn't repaid within nine months of the year end, an extra tax charge can apply. We review your loan account before the year end so there are no surprises.

If you're self-employed or in a partnership, we look after your Self Assessment from start to finish: working out your taxable profit, claiming the expenses you're entitled to, and submitting well ahead of the 31 January deadline.

• Self Assessment tax returns
• Partnership tax returns and computations
• Profit-share accounting between partners
• Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: getting set up and filing quarterly updates

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax started in April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000, and the threshold drops to £30,000 in April 2027. We can tell you whether it applies to you and get you ready.

We keep your books up to date throughout the year, so your records are always accurate and year end isn't a scramble. Whether you're on cloud software or still on spreadsheets, we'll work with what suits you.

• Regular bookkeeping, monthly or quarterly
• Bank reconciliations
• Categorisation of income and expenses

A regular income statement and balance sheet, put together and explained by someone who's produced management reporting at corporate level. You'll see how the business is actually performing, where the cash is going, and what to keep an eye on.

• Periodic management accounts (income statement and balance sheet)
• A clear read on profit, cash and margins as you go
• Numbers you can take to the bank or an investor

The best time to plan your tax is before the year ends, not after the return is due. We look ahead with you, review how you're set up, and help you make decisions with the tax consequences in mind.

• Proactive tax planning throughout the year
• Efficiency reviews of how you pay yourself and run the business
• Strategic advice on growth, structure and cash flow

From registration onwards, we prepare and submit your VAT returns under Making Tax Digital and check them for errors before they go in. We also deal with the parts of VAT that catch businesses out.

• VAT return preparation and submission
• VAT reviews and error corrections
• Complex VAT, including the construction domestic reverse charge and choosing the right scheme

Whether you have one director on the payroll or a full team, we run it end to end: payslips, real-time reporting to HMRC, pensions and all the paperwork in between.

• Payroll processing and payslips
• RTI submissions (FPS and EPS)
• Auto-enrolment pension duties
• Starters, leavers and P45s

CIS is one of our specialisms. For contractors, we verify subcontractors and file your monthly returns before HMRC's deadline on the 19th. For subcontractors, we track the deductions taken from your pay and make sure they're claimed back.

• Subcontractor verifications with HMRC
• Monthly CIS returns
• Deduction statements and reclaiming deductions

Companies House rules have tightened, and identity verification is now a legal requirement for directors and people with significant control (PSCs). We help you get verified and keep your company's public record correct.

• PSC identity verification support and submissions
• Annual confirmation statements
• Updates to directors, shareholders and registered details
