We're really big on regular communication, and proactive advice. And the best way we deliver this, is through our quarterly reviews.

If you're seeing your accountant once a year and wanting to grow your business, you're simply not seeing them enough.

Our new page on Capital Gains Tax is live.

You need to report and pay through HMRC systems your Capital Gains Tax due on the sale of any residence which is not your sole residence (otherwise known as your principal private residence).

Calculating the right amounts, declaring the correct tax, not missing off any reliefs, and navigating the HMRC system can be a challenge - we handle everything for you so you have peace of mind, and we prepare recognised HMRC calculations and support to ensure your submission is stress free.

If you're contemplating a sale, we can help you understand the impacts - what the tax might be, how you can minimise your tax liability, and make sure you're best prepared if you decide to sell.

We always aim to keep our pricing clear, transparent and simple. That why we have adopted our transparent pricing policy. This means:

- No surprise bills - if we need to charge you for something, we'll quote you up front, and agree a budget. We won't invoice you a penny more without your agreement.
- Monthly fixed fees - a regular, consistent cost, so you can plan and avoid big lumpy bills once your accounts are prepared.
- Clear pricing based on your business. We evaluate factors such as your turnover, industry, bookkeeping volumes, and payroll size to ensure each quote is purpose-built for each business.

We offer a free consultation and quote, with no obligation. Curious to see what we can offer, reach out to us today to find more.

A couple weeks ago the team visited to see what the current developments are in the accounting space.

The big topics were unsurprisingly AI and MTD, and in particular working with accountants on how to navigate the challenges and opportunities they both bring.

It was also a great chance to meet our current suppliers and identify new ones we could work with, with plenty of opportunities to explore new features and think about how we can deploy them for our clients.

Finally it was nice to spend some time with colleagues and have a day out of the office (even if the boss wandered off all the time!).

(… and he also forgot to take any photos so since we learned all about AI!… and ignore its two weeks late!!…)

It’s a heatwave out there! Why not treat the team to some ice creams, on the company?

With trivial benefits, you can have the company cover the cost. No tax consequences.

As long as it’s not cash, under £50 and not performance-related, the company gets tax relief and the employee won’t have to pay income tax on it.

Trivial benefits were designed for things just like this. Small benefits in isolation not worth taxing, but giving the employer simple ways to give small benefits to staff without the admin and tax burden.
