Accountancy

Accounts done properly, on time, and in software that suits how you actually run the business.

What this covers

Year-end statutory accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
Monthly or quarterly bookkeeping and reconciliations
Management accounts and KPI reporting
Companies House and HMRC filings
Software setup and clean-up (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent)

How we approach it

The point of accounting is not the file you submit at year end. It is whether you can read your own numbers in March and make a sensible call in April. That is the standard we work to.

Most clients run on Xero or QuickBooks. We are software-agnostic; if you are happier in Sage or a tidy spreadsheet, we work with that. Switching software for the sake of switching is a tax on your time that nobody talks about.

We do not bill in six-minute units. Fees are agreed up front for the year. If something falls outside scope, we say so before we start, not after.

An honest caveat. If you need a full statutory audit, you want a larger firm. We handle audit-exempt entities and group reporting up to a certain size.

Questions we hear

How much does it cost?

Sole trader accounts and Self Assessment from around the cost of a decent night out per month, on a fixed annual fee. Limited companies depend on transaction volume and complexity. We quote after a short call and the figures stay fixed unless scope changes in writing.

Do you handle the bookkeeping or just the year end?

Either. Some clients want us to run the whole back office; others have a bookkeeper in-house and want us only for the year end and tax. Both are fine.
