Short answer

Small business accounting services normally combine bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, year-end accounts and tax returns. The right mix depends on your structure, turnover and whether you employ. We package those into one agreed scope rather than charging for each request.

Choosing only what you need

Not every business needs every service. A company below the VAT threshold with no employees needs far less than a VAT registered employer with stock. We scope the service to your actual obligations and add services when circumstances change.

Software and automation

Bank feeds, receipt capture and sales channel integrations remove most manual entry. We set the software up properly, map the accounts to your business and review the output, since automated data still needs judgement about what it represents.

What Our Clients Say

Rated 4.9 out of 5From 302 Google reviews
Accotax have been our accountants for many years now. We maintained them because of their professionalism. In the last couple of years I have been working with Imran, who has been very professional and helpful in guiding us through the whole process, explaining and clarifying every aspect of it. Very prompt in responding to questions and patient with us even when we seem to be slow.
Mansur Liman · Long-standing company client
We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we're really glad we did. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing, professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.
Mael Leboucher · Year end accounts & bookkeeping
I've been working with Accotax since January 2024, and their support has grown alongside my business needs. My personal allocated manager, Umer, provides tailored services for both of my companies, adapting as I expand and ensuring everything runs smoothly. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and always clear in their communication. Their help with accounts, VAT, payrolls, pensions and compliance gives me real confidence and peace of mind.

Frequently asked

Accounting services for small business: questions directors ask

What accounting services does a small business need?

At minimum, accurate records and the correct annual returns. Most add VAT and payroll once registered or employing, and bookkeeping once volume grows.

Can I buy bookkeeping only?

Yes, though most clients find a combined package cheaper than buying bookkeeping and year-end work separately.

Do you offer monthly management accounts?

Yes, where decisions justify them, typically when cash is tight, margins vary or lenders and investors need reporting.

How is the price set?

By scope, not by hours: structure, transaction volume, VAT, payroll and reporting frequency.

How do I send you records?

Through your accounting software, secure upload or bank feeds. Paper records can be handled at our Morden office.

What do your packages cost?

Published packages start from £89 plus VAT monthly, with £169 and £289 plus VAT tiers for busier businesses. The final fee follows the agreed scope, not an hourly estimate.

Can you take over from my current accountant?

Yes. We request professional clearance, collect the accounting and tax records, review every approaching deadline and manage the handover so no filing is missed.

Can everything be handled online?

Yes. Records, questions, approvals and meetings can all be handled securely online. Clients near London can also meet us at 12 London Road, Morden by appointment.

Is basic tax advice included?

Routine day-to-day questions are included. Technical calculations, written advice, planning projects, HMRC disputes and specialist claims are scoped and agreed before any work starts.

How quickly can I get a fixed fee quote?

Use the short online quote form with your turnover, VAT, payroll and bookkeeping position. We can normally confirm scope and a fixed monthly fee the same working day.
