  • MTD set-up support

  • FreeAgent/Xero set-up check

  • Quarterly deadline reminders

  • Light support during the year

  • End-of-year Self Assessment submission

What working with me looks like

How it works

  1. Kickoff - Data checklist sent, engagement letter signed, access to records arranged.

  2. Setup - Cloud accounting basics sorted if needed, tax reserve baseline calculated.

  3. Annual cycle - One check-in per year, accounts and returns prepared and filed on deadline.

You get a clear checklist of what I need and when. Your accounts are prepared, reviewed in a short call where I explain what changed, and filed on deadline. You know exactly what you owe HMRC and when it's due. No surprises, no late fees, no unnecessary meetings.

Why work with me

I'm FCCA qualified with 15 years across Big 4 and Top 100 firms. I've worked on everything from complex PE-backed groups to straightforward owner-managed businesses. I know what good records look like and I know when something doesn't add up.

You get senior-level knowledge without the senior-level fees. I don't pass your work to a junior. I do it myself and I do it properly.

Your investment

From £150-£500 + VAT per month

Price depends on whether you're a sole trader or limited company, VAT registration status, CIS status, and how tidy your records are. Fixed monthly fee agreed up front.
