Accounting and Compliance
Get the back end of your business sorted, without the usual overwhelm.
We take care of all the compliance, reporting and filing your business needs — leaving you free to focus on what you actually do. No jargon, no nasty surprises, no chasing.
What we handle
Our accounting and compliance service covers every obligation your business faces — from statutory filings to day-to-day bookkeeping. Most clients tell us they hadn't realised how much was falling through the cracks until we started handling it.
Annual Accounts
Statutory accounts prepared and filed with Companies House on time, every time — with clear commentary so you understand what they mean.
Corporation Tax
We calculate, plan and file your CT600 well ahead of deadlines, with proactive advice to minimise your tax liability within HMRC rules.
Personal Tax Returns
Director self-assessment returns handled end-to-end — we gather the data, prepare the return, and flag anything that could save you money.
Quarterly Check-ins
Regular reviews to keep your finances on track. We look at your numbers, flag risks, and make sure nothing is creeping up unnoticed.
Payroll
Monthly payroll processing, RTI submissions to HMRC, payslips, P60s and P11Ds — fully managed so you never miss a deadline.
VAT Returns
Accurate VAT returns prepared and submitted on schedule, with advice on the right VAT scheme for your business and cash flow.
How it works
We've designed a simple, repeatable process that removes friction at every step. From your first conversation to your monthly cycle, you'll always know what's happening and what's coming next.

Xero or QuickBooks setup
We configure your cloud accounting software, connect your bank feeds, set up your chart of accounts, and migrate any historical data we need.

Quarterly reviews
Every quarter we meet (or call) to review your performance, update your tax estimate, discuss any issues, and plan ahead.
Who it's for
Our accounting and compliance service is built for limited company owners and directors who want a chartered accountant in their corner — not just at year-end, but all year round. It suits businesses at every stage, from those hitting their first £100k in revenue to established operations turning over £2m+.
If you're currently reactive with your finances — scrambling to pull records together before deadlines, unsure what tax you owe, or relying on a shoebox and a spreadsheet — this service is for you. We also work with businesses switching from an accountant who's been unresponsive or hard to reach.
Packages start from £275/month. See our full pricing page for a detailed breakdown by tier.
"We have found excellent accountants who listen to what we are trying to achieve and work in our best interests."
