You know the price before we start
We agree one price a month and put it in writing. Phone calls and emails are included. If your business does not change, the price does not change.
Services
Everything you have to send to HMRC, done for you
Six things we take off your hands, for one fixed price a month. Take all of them, or just the ones you need.
Why people pick us
Three things that make this easy
No jargon, no surprise bills and no missed deadlines. That is most of what people want from an accountant.
You never have to remember a date again
We keep a list of every deadline that applies to you and remind you in good time. We file early rather than on the last day, so there is room if something goes wrong.
You get answers you can actually understand
No jargon, and no being passed around. You speak to the person doing your work, and we tell you what the numbers mean and what to do next.

Every service has its own page saying exactly what is included, who it suits and when the deadlines are.

How it works
Four steps, and three of them are ours
Changing accountant sounds like hard work. It is not, and almost none of it falls to you.
01A free 20-minute chat
Tell us what you do and what you need. No charge, no pressure and no sales pitch.
02A price in writing
Within one working day you get one monthly price and a list of exactly what it covers.
03We do the moving
We write to your old accountant, collect your paperwork and register with HMRC. You sign one form.
04You stop worrying about it
We remind you before every deadline and file early. You hear from us before you hear from HMRC.
Questions
Things people ask before they call
If your question is not here, just ask. A straight answer costs nothing.
How much will it cost?
Self-employed people and landlords start at £99 a month, and small limited companies at £150 a month. Where you land depends on your sales, whether you are VAT registered and whether you have staff. You get your exact price in writing after a free chat, and it is fixed for the year.
Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes, and we do it all the time. We write to them, ask for your records and register with HMRC. You sign one form. You do not have to wait until your year end. Changing part way through the year is completely normal.
I am late, or I have already been fined. Can you help?
Yes. Come to us sooner rather than later. We work out exactly what is missing, get it filed so the fines stop building up, and if you had a good reason for being late we appeal it. Nobody here will make you feel bad about it.
Do we have to meet in person?
No. We work with clients everywhere in the UK and the whole thing can be done remotely. You send your paperwork online, and we talk by phone, email or video call. Where you live makes no difference to the price or the service.
What software do I need?
Whatever you already use is almost certainly fine. We work with all the main bookkeeping apps, and with spreadsheets if that genuinely suits you. If you have nothing set up, we will set something up that meets the rules without adding work to your week.
When are my deadlines?
Self Assessment: file and pay by 31 January after the tax year ends. Company accounts: nine months after your year end. Company tax: pay nine months and one day after your year end. VAT: usually one month and seven days after each three-month period. We track all of them for you and confirm your dates in writing.
What do you need from me to get started?
For a first chat, ten minutes and nothing else. To give you a price, it helps to know whether you are a company or self-employed, roughly what you sell in a year, whether you are VAT registered and whether you pay anyone. To take over, we need one signed form and your old accountant’s details.
Is the first chat really free?
Yes. Twenty minutes, no charge and no obligation. If we are not the right fit we will say so, and usually point you towards someone who is.
Next step
Twenty minutes will tell you if we are right for you
No sales pitch and no obligation. We will ask what you file now, tell you what we would do differently, and send you a fixed monthly price within one working day.
