Accounting & financial management

Accounting sorted. One fixed monthly fee.

A dedicated accountant and finance team handling your books, payroll and tax for a fixed monthly fee. No hourly billing. No surprises. Just reliable accounting.

How we work

This is our typical process — but every business is different, so we tailor it to fit yours.

1

We get to know your business

Every business is different. We learn how yours runs, then set up a simple online system where you share what we need — no back-and-forth admin.

2

We handle the accounting

We process your transactions, reconcile your accounts and run your payroll. You send us the paperwork, we do the rest. One less thing on your plate.

3

We keep you compliant

VAT, PAYE, provisional and income tax — all prepared and submitted. Plus proactive tax planning, so you're not just compliant, you pay what you should and not a cent more.

4

You get clear reporting & your own team

A dedicated accountant and support team who know your business — at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house — plus up-to-date management accounts and clear, jargon-free reports.

One fee. All included.

Every plan comes with these as standard:

Annual Financial Statements & regular management accountsPreparation & submission of all returns: Payroll, VAT, Withholding, Provisional & Income TaxHelp with all bookkeeping, payroll, tax & technical queriesDedicated finance & payroll teams
