The one rule we have kept since 2009
Every business that lasts first kept its receipts.
Questionswe hearevery week.
Do I need an accountant if I use bookkeeping software?
The software records; it does not decide. We check what it has matched, fix what it guessed and file what it cannot.
Can you take over halfway through the year?
Yes. Most clients join mid-year. We pick up from your last filed return and bring the books up to date in the first month.
What if my books are behind?
We start with a catch-up at one fixed price, file every overdue return, and then move you onto a monthly plan.
Do you deal with HMRC for me?
Yes. Once you sign the letter of authority, HMRC writes to us and we answer — you get a copy and a plain-English note.
Will I always talk to the same person?
Yes. Every client has one named accountant and their direct number. Holidays are covered by someone who already knows your file.
Can I leave?
In any month. There is no notice period; we hand your records to whoever comes next, tidy and complete.
What ourclients say.
“Three years in, I have never once wondered whether my VAT went in. That is the whole review.”

“They found four thousand pounds of expenses my old accountant never asked about. Then they filed a month early.”
Dan ColeCole & Pike Joinery
“I send photos of receipts from the van. On the 22nd I get one page that tells me how we are doing.”
Lewis MarshRedland Motors
“Payroll for nine people, and I have not thought about it once since the day we switched.”
