Accountants for small businesses — fixed fee, dedicated, and genuinely on your side
Running a small business means wearing every hat. We take the finance one off you — books, VAT, payroll, accounts and tax handled by a dedicated accountant, for one predictable monthly fee.
- Fixed monthly fee
- A named accountant
- UK-wide, fully online
Everything you need
One team, one fixed fee
- Bookkeeping Services. Your books kept current and tidy in the cloud, ready for tax.
- Accounts & Corporation Tax. Year-end accounts and Corporation Tax filed, tax minimised.
- VAT returns. Quarterly VAT prepared, reviewed and filed under MTD.
- Payroll & CIS. Staff paid right, RTI and pensions handled every pay run.
The bits no one warns you about
Most small business owners didn’t start up to do admin — but the bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and tax all land on them anyway, each with its own deadline and penalty.
Do it piecemeal and things slip: expenses unclaimed, deadlines missed, decisions made on a bank balance instead of real numbers. The cost shows up as overpaid tax and lost time.
- Wearing every hat — including finance director
- Admin eating into your evenings and weekends
- Multiple deadlines: VAT, payroll, accounts, tax
- No clear view of whether you’re actually profitable
- Overpaying tax through missed expenses and reliefs
- An accountant who only surfaces once a year
Everything handled, under one roof
When you run a small business, the numbers never stop: invoices to chase, VAT to file, staff to pay, a tax bill to plan for. Most owners end up doing it late at night, unsure if it’s right, with no time left to actually grow.
We give you a complete finance function for a fixed monthly fee — bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, year-end accounts and tax — run by a named accountant who knows your business and tells you what your numbers mean.

Looking for a small business accountant near you?
Most owners who search for a small business accountant near me really want the same few things: someone qualified who actually picks up the phone, knows their numbers, and can meet whenever there’s a question — without a 20-minute drive to a high-street office. We deliver all of that, online, to small businesses anywhere in the UK.
Because everything runs securely in the cloud, you get a named accountant near you in every way that matters — a quick call, video chat or message instead of a parking space and a waiting room. Whether you’re in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds or a village no local firm covers well, you get the same fixed monthly fee and the same proactive, year-round support.
In practice that means faster answers, no travelling, and an accountant chosen for fit rather than postcode. Book a free consultation and we’ll show you exactly how it works.

The honest answers to what you’re thinking
How much should an accountant cost for a small business?
It depends on your size and what you need, but as a guide, small businesses typically pay somewhere between around £60 and £500 a month depending on whether they’re a sole trader or a VAT-registered company with payroll. We agree a fixed monthly fee up front, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
Is it worth getting an accountant for a small business?
For most, yes. Beyond saving hours and the stress of deadlines, a good accountant usually saves more tax than they cost and helps you avoid expensive mistakes. The fixed fee pays for itself in time and tax saved.
What does an accountant actually do for my small business?
We handle the lot: bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, year-end accounts, Corporation Tax and your own tax return — plus advice through the year on tax, cash flow and growth.
I already have an accountant — is switching a hassle?
No. We handle the handover from your current accountant and the HMRC authorisations for you. It takes minutes of your time.
