The app stack matters as much as Xero
Dext or Hubdoc for receipts, A2X or Link My Books for marketplaces, Stripe or GoCardless for collection, and a stock or project tool where relevant. Choosing the right small number of apps beats adding many.
Common Xero problems we fix
Bank rules coding things wrongly at volume, duplicated contacts, an unreconciled suspense account, incorrect VAT rates on foreign transactions, and a chart of accounts inherited from a template that tells you nothing about your business.
Reporting once it is clean
Tracking categories for channels, locations or projects, and management reports that answer your actual questions rather than the default pack.
Before you act
Rates, thresholds and deadlines quoted here reflect the current UK position and current HMRC and Companies House guidance. Check GOV.UK, or ask us, before relying on them for your own business.

What Our Clients Say
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
