Advisory · Growth decisions
Business advisory from qualified accountants: pricing, margins, hiring, funding, growth and exit decisions backed by your own numbers.
Short answer
Business advisory gives owner-managers a numbers-led second opinion on big decisions: pricing, hiring, investment, funding and growth. We start from your accounts and management figures, model the options and their tax effect, and give you a clear recommendation with the risks spelled out.

Your accountant already sees the numbers that drive your business. Advisory puts them to work before decisions are made, not just after the year end, so you can grow profit rather than only report it.
Pricing and margin reviews
Hiring and capacity decisions
Funding and borrowing options
Profit extraction and tax impact
Exit and succession planning
Should you raise prices or cut a product line? Can you afford a new hire, and when will they pay for themselves? Is a loan, asset finance or equity the right way to fund growth? We answer with figures from your own business rather than generic rules of thumb.
You tell us the decision and send recent accounts or management figures. We prepare a short model with scenarios, then talk it through with you. You leave with a written summary of options, numbers, tax effect and the action we recommend.
Growth decisions change tax: capital allowances on investment, the Corporation Tax marginal rate between £50,000 and £250,000 of profit, VAT registration thresholds and how you draw money from the company. We include those effects so the recommendation holds up after tax.
Rates, thresholds and dates reflect the UK position at the content update date. Check current GOV.UK guidance, or ask us, before relying on them.
Many clients pair advisory with management accounts or cash-flow forecasting so progress can be tracked quarterly. Others book a session only when a big decision comes up.

Frequently asked
Practical advice on commercial decisions, based on your financial data, rather than only preparing statutory accounts and tax returns.
Not necessarily. Recent year-end accounts and bank data are often enough for a first session.
Yes. We prepare forecasts and supporting figures and explain them in plain English.
No. Small owner-managed businesses often benefit most because each decision has a larger impact.
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.
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.”
“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.”
