We set the bookkeeping, VAT and reporting up around those issues rather than treating every company the same.

Whatever the sector, the company must file accounts with Companies House nine months after the accounting reference date, file a CT600 within twelve months of the period end, pay corporation tax nine months and one day after the period end, and file a confirmation statement each year.
Once taxable turnover passes £90,000 in a rolling 12 months, VAT registration and Making Tax Digital filing follow. Employing anyone, including a director on a salary, brings PAYE, RTI reporting and auto-enrolment pensions.
Thresholds, rates and deadlines quoted here reflect the 2026/27 UK position. Check current GOV.UK guidance, or ask us, before you rely on them for your own company.
We agree the scope and monthly fee before starting, set up bookkeeping that fits how you invoice and buy, and send reminders ahead of every filing date.
You get plain answers to sector questions in normal language, and we say clearly when something needs specialist advice rather than guessing.
Frequently asked
Business-to-business services to an overseas customer are usually outside the scope of UK VAT, with the customer accounting for it. The income still counts towards your registration test in some cases, so the position needs checking.
Yes. Our focus is London, Morden, Croydon and the surrounding boroughs, but filing is digital and we work with affiliate marketers across the UK.
Keep bank statements, sales and platform reports, purchase invoices, payroll records, VAT workings, finance agreements and Companies House correspondence. We confirm the exact list at onboarding and identify gaps before a filing deadline becomes urgent.
The fee depends on transaction volume, record quality, VAT and payroll requirements, historic catch-up and the level of reporting needed. We agree a fixed scope and price before technical work starts, with published packages available on our fees page.
Yes. We request professional clearance, collect the prior records and authorities, check the next Companies House and HMRC deadlines, and give you one clear handover list. The process is normally completed remotely.
Yes. We work through secure cloud records, scheduled reviews and digital approvals, while keeping a named team available by phone, video call and email. Clients can also visit our Morden office by appointment.
We regularly work with Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Sage and connected sales or expense apps. The right setup depends on transaction volume, integrations and the reports you need, not simply the software brand.
The relevant calendar may include annual accounts, Corporation Tax payment and return dates, confirmation statements, VAT returns, payroll submissions and Self Assessment. We map the dates from your company year end and registrations.
Yes. You can ask a straightforward initial question without charge. Calculations, filings, written advice, planning and HMRC correspondence are scoped and quoted before work begins.
