Accountants who understand your sector
From landlords and IT contractors to builders, salons and online shops, we give every client accounting and tax support shaped around how their business actually works.
Where we do most of our work
These are the sectors we know best. Each has its own tax rules, deadlines and pitfalls, and we know them inside out.
Real estate & property
Landlords, property investors, developers and estate and letting agents. Property tax has more traps than most, so we help you keep more of your rental income and plan ahead before you buy or sell.
- Rental income and self assessment
- Setting up and running a property company
- Capital gains tax when you sell
- Making Tax Digital for landlords
IT & telecommunications
IT contractors, software developers, managed service providers, telecoms installers and tech start-ups. We keep your accounts tidy and your pay tax efficient while you focus on clients and projects.
- Limited company accounts and director pay
- IR35 checks for contractors
- Cash flow forecasts for contracts and subscriptions
- VAT registration and returns
Construction & CIS
Subcontractors, contractors and building firms. We take care of the Construction Industry Scheme paperwork so you get paid properly and claim back what you’re owed.
- CIS registration and monthly returns
- CIS tax refunds for subcontractors
- Payroll and VAT, including the reverse charge
- Self assessment for sole traders

We work for you
Every business is different, so we don’t hand out one-size-fits-all advice. We take the time to learn how you earn your money, what you spend it on and where you want to take the business next.
You get one point of contact, plain-English answers and deadlines handled before they become a problem. That leaves you free to get on with the work you’re good at.

Frequently asked questions
Do you only work with businesses in Staines?
No. We’re based in Staines-upon-Thames and work with clients across the UK. Most of our work happens by email, phone and online, so you don’t need to be local.
My sector isn’t listed. Can you still help?
Very likely. The sectors above are where we do most of our work, but the basics of good accounts and tax planning apply to every business. Email us and tell us what you do.
Do you work with individual landlords as well as property companies?
Yes. We help landlords who own property in their own name with self assessment and expenses, and we also look after property companies. If you’re deciding between the two, we can show you the numbers for both.
Can I switch to you from my current accountant?
Yes. Once you’re ready, we contact your previous accountant for the records we need, so the move is simple for you.
