Loving the flexibility of being your own boss, but finding HMRC’s growing compliance requirements overwhelming? Drowning in paperwork or receipts and having difficulty maintaining your records? You’re not alone—and we’re here to help you stay compliant while keeping your focus on what you do best.
With its simple setup and the freedom of being your own boss, it’s no surprise there are over 3 million sole traders in the UK. It’s a popular choice for freelancers, tradespeople, consultants, contractors, social media influencers, and small business owners—and the good news is, we can help them all.
We also understand the challenges that many small business owners face. Rising rents and rates, soaring utility bills, increasing insurance premiums, and higher wage costs can make it feel like everything is working against you. Add to that the stress of tax compliance, keeping financial records in order, and chasing customers for payment, and it can feel like a never-ending cycle.
While we can’t control the rising cost of doing business or bring in new clients for you, we can take care of your tax and accounts—giving you more time, less stress, and peace of mind. Let us handle the numbers so you can focus on running your business.

We get straight to work…
Switch Accountants
If you have an existing accountant, don’t worry. We understand that nobody likes change and it is no different when dealing with an accountant or tax adviser. We aim to make the process as simple as possible. We will write to your existing accountant for you, advise them of the change and ask them to provide a copy your latest tax return and accounts information. The switch is dealt with professionally between accountants and is common practice. We are personal in our approach and will look forward to working with you.
New QuickBooks Licence
We will open a new QuickBooks licence for you. We will then connect your business bank account to the software and start bringing your business bookkeeping up to date. You will get access to QuickBooks and a free demo of the package.
Secure Client Portal Access
You will gain access to our secure client portal area which can be used to securely transfer documents directly to us or digitally sign documents and tax returns when completed. We will upload HMRC correspondence directly to the portal for your records.
Making Tax Digital Compliance
We will prepare quarterly MTD returns from your financial records and call you in advance to discuss the results for the quarter before onward submission to HMRC. We will take care of your business finances to ensure compliance with Making Tax Digital.
Pre-Year-End Tax Planning
In January and February we will issue our year-end tax planning checklist. You may wish to consider various tax planning measures such as purchasing new equipment, pension payments or gift aid donations. Should you wish to discuss anything in more detail contact us in advance of year end, 31 March.
Year-End Tax Return Preparation
We will prepare your year-end accounts and tax return for review and discussion in advance of submission to HMRC. Discussions will be held in person, via video call, over the phone or via email, depending on your preference.
Submissions to HMRC
Once digitally signed and approved, we will submit your tax return to HMRC on your behalf. Your completed return will be uploaded to the client portal area for ease of access.
How to Pay
Our preferred method of payment is monthly by direct debit. You will receive a monthly invoice reflective of your agreed package and this will be collected by direct debit. You will be asked to complete the direct debit mandate form as part of the onboarding process. If you would prefer to pay via alternative means, please contact us.
