OUR SERVICES
Secure your Business
Protect what you've built
Nobody starts a business to file returns. But missed deadlines, wrong deductions and an unopened HMRC letter are how good businesses get into trouble. We keep everything filed accurately and on time, with one named person who knows how your business works.
Tax Services
Corporate Tax Compliance
Corporation tax falls due nine months and a day after your year-end. Too many directors find out what they owe the week before. We prepare and file your CT600, review every allowable deduction — capital allowances, R&D, losses, group relief — and give you a quarterly view of what's building up so the bill never arrives as a surprise. If HMRC writes, we answer.
- CT600 prepared and filed
- Capital allowances, R&D, losses and group relief reviewed
- Quarterly tax provision, so you know what's building up
- Managed deadline calendar: accounts, return and payment
- HMRC correspondence handled as your agent
Personal Tax Compliance
If you're a director, a landlord, or you have income that isn't taxed at source, HMRC expects a Self Assessment return — and expects it to be right. We prepare and file it, covering salary, dividends, rental and investment income, benefits in kind and anything overseas. More usefully, we plan ahead: how to take income from your company, when to time a dividend, which reliefs you're not claiming. As your authorised agent, HMRC's letters come to us first.
- Self Assessment prepared and filed
- Salary, dividends, rental, investment and overseas income
- Benefits in kind and P11Ds reviewed
- Salary-versus-dividend and relief planning through the year
- Authorised agent: HMRC's letters come to us first
Payroll
Paying people late or wrong is the fastest way to lose their trust. We run your payroll weekly or monthly, file Real Time Information with HMRC, handle pension auto-enrolment, P11Ds, P60s and leavers, and get payslips out on time every time. You get a named payroll manager, not a helpdesk, and we can take over from your current provider mid-year without a gap.
- Weekly or monthly payroll runs
- Real Time Information filed with HMRC every pay day
- Pension auto-enrolment, re-enrolment and staff letters
- P11Ds, P60s, P45s and year-end reporting
- Named payroll manager; mid-year takeover handled
CIS Compliance
A subcontractor on 20% deductions who qualifies for gross payment status is lending HMRC money every month, interest-free. The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) catches contractors and subcontractors alike: verification, deductions, monthly returns, reverse-charge VAT, and reclaims that go unclaimed for years. We run your monthly CIS returns, verify your subcontractors, apply for gross payment status where you qualify, recover what you're owed and deal with HMRC when they call.
- Subcontractor verification and onboarding
- Deductions calculated and statements issued
- Monthly CIS returns filed with HMRC
- Gross payment status applications
- CIS reclaims and offsets recovered; reverse-charge VAT applied correctly
Capital Gains Tax
Sell a UK residential property and you have 60 days to report the gain and pay the tax — not until next January. Whether it's a second home, company shares, a business you've built or crypto, the gain is only part of the story: base cost, improvement costs and reliefs like Business Asset Disposal Relief or Private Residence Relief decide what you actually pay. We calculate it properly, claim what applies and, where there's time, plan the disposal before it happens.
- 60-day UK property returns
- Year-end gains reported through Self Assessment
- Full gain and loss computations: base cost, improvements, costs of sale
- Reliefs checked: Business Asset Disposal, Private Residence, rollover, holdover
- Pre-sale planning around timing and the annual exemption
Accounting Services
Bookkeeping
If you check the bank balance to find out how the business is doing, your books are behind. We keep them current — every transaction captured, categorised and reconciled in Xero or QuickBooks, receipts pulled in automatically, VAT returns filed under Making Tax Digital. You get a named bookkeeper who understands your sector, whether that means platform fees and multi-currency for ecommerce or retentions and reverse charge for construction.
- Xero or QuickBooks, reconciled in real time
- Receipts and supplier invoices captured automatically
- VAT returns filed under Making Tax Digital
- Supplier and customer ledgers kept clean
- Named bookkeeper who knows your sector
Annual Statutory Filing
Every limited company files accounts at Companies House within nine months of year-end. Late means an automatic penalty, and eventually a strike-off. We prepare your statutory accounts in the right format for your company's size, file them at Companies House and with HMRC alongside your corporation tax return, and consolidate group accounts where you have more than one entity. No year-end scramble — the books are ready because we've kept them that way.
- Full or abridged accounts in the right format for your size
- Filed at Companies House and with HMRC alongside the CT600
- Group consolidations where you have more than one entity
- Director's report and year-end pack for investors or lenders
- Deadlines tracked from the day your year ends
Business Services
Company Secretarial
Companies House now requires every director and person with significant control to verify their identity. It's one more obligation that's easy to miss, and missing it lands on the director personally. We keep your company in good standing: confirmation statements, statutory registers, director and shareholder changes, share issues and transfers, board minutes and resolutions, and a registered office address if you'd rather keep yours private. For groups, we document the structure properly so due diligence never trips over it.
- Director and PSC identity verification kept on track
- Confirmation statements and statutory registers
- Director and shareholder changes, share issues and transfers
- Board minutes and resolutions
- Registered office address and mail handling
