Practice

Six things we do —
and we do them properly.

From your first invoice as a freelancer to filing statutory accounts for a Limited company employing fifteen, this is the full remit. Fixed monthly fees, no per-question billing.

01 / Bookkeeping & accounts

Numbers made simple.

Real-time bookkeeping in Xero or QuickBooks Online — bank feeds reconciled weekly, receipts captured by Dext, monthly management accounts on the first working day of each month.

At year-end, statutory accounts go to Companies House without drama. We file weeks ahead of deadline so you can plan, not panic.

02 / Tax & advisory

Pay less, plan further.

UK tax rules change in every Budget. We watch them so you don't have to — and we structure your remuneration, dividends, pensions and capital allowances around what the law allows you to keep.

Two formal tax-saving reviews per year are included in our standard fee. You'll see the projected liability six months before it lands.

  1. i.
    Corporation TaxStrategy and computation. Capital allowances, R&D, super-deduction successors.
  2. ii.
