Accountants for small business owners

You started a business, not a bookkeeping hobby. We take the numbers off your desk.

  • Year-end accounts
  • Bookkeeping
  • VAT returns and registration

What does an accountant do for small business owners?

Small business accountants combine statutory accounts, tax, VAT, payroll and bookkeeping in one fixed monthly fee so owners can focus on running the business.

What is different for you.

The parts of the rules that matter most for this kind of company.

01

One fixed fee

Pick a package and know the cost for the year.

02

A named accountant

One person who knows your company.

How the work differs for small business owners.

The parts of the job that matter most for this kind of company, and how we handle them.

01

One firm for the whole company

Running a small company means juggling bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, year-end accounts and your own tax, all with different deadlines. We bring them together under one accountant and one fixed fee, so you deal with one team and one set of figures.

Everything runs from the same ledger, which means fewer errors and a faster year end.

  • One team, one fixed fee
  • One set of books
  • Every deadline in one diary
02

Taking money out efficiently

The way you pay yourself affects Corporation Tax, income tax, National Insurance and, in the end, how much you keep. A salary at a sensible level, dividends from profit and employer pension contributions are the main tools, and the right mix changes each year.

We model it each April and again before the year end, so the plan matches the real profit.

  • Salary, dividends and pension compared
  • Reviewed each April
  • Updated before year end
03

Planning for growth and for exit

Small companies grow by taking on staff, premises, finance or new owners. Each step has tax and filing consequences. If you want to sell or step back one day, early planning makes a big difference to the value you keep.

We help you think two or three years ahead, not just to the next deadline.

  • Hiring and payroll set-up
  • Finance and grants considered
  • Exit and succession planning

The usual way, and ours.

Typical small business set-up

  • Bookkeeper, accountant and payroll bureau separately
  • Different numbers in each
  • Surprises at the year end
  • No time for tax planning

  • One firm for everything
  • One ledger everyone uses
  • Monthly view of profit and tax
