Bookkeeping & Accounting

Accurate Bookkeeping & Insightful Accounting

Good bookkeeping is the foundation of everything else: accurate tax returns, VAT filed on time, payroll that runs smoothly and accounts that tell you how your business is really doing. Accutax Services keeps your records up to date throughout the year, so there is no last-minute scramble at year end and no surprises when the tax bill arrives.

We work with sole traders, landlords, limited companies, contractors and ecommerce sellers, from businesses just starting out to established companies with staff and several income streams. Our team brings over 15 years of experience and works mainly in cloud accounting software, so you can see your figures whenever you need them.

Leave the complexities of bookkeeping and accounting to our experienced team. We provide accurate, up-to-date financial records, giving you the clarity and confidence you need to make sound decisions. Choose from a range of specialised services, including:

What's Included

Every engagement is tailored to your business, but most of our bookkeeping and accounting clients rely on us for some or all of the following.

Cloud Accounting, VAT & Payroll

Cloud accounting software

We keep your books in cloud software such as Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent. Bank feeds bring your transactions in automatically, receipts can be photographed and uploaded from your phone, and we can see the same live figures you do. If you are moving from spreadsheets or desktop software, we handle the migration and show you how to get the most from the system.

VAT returns under Making Tax Digital

All VAT-registered businesses must keep digital records and file VAT returns using Making Tax Digital compatible software. We prepare your returns from your bookkeeping records, check them for errors and unusual items, and submit them to HMRC on your behalf. We can also advise on registration, the VAT scheme that suits your business and whether any special rules apply to your sector.

Payroll, RTI and auto-enrolment

As an employer you must report pay and deductions to HMRC under Real Time Information each time you pay your staff, and meet your workplace pension duties under auto-enrolment. We run your payroll, produce payslips, make the RTI submissions and help you stay on top of your pension obligations, whether you have one director on the payroll or a growing team.

Year-end accounts and Companies House filing

For limited companies we prepare the annual statutory accounts, file them with Companies House and prepare the corporation tax return. For sole traders and landlords, we use your records to prepare the figures for your self assessment tax return. Because your books are already up to date, year end becomes a review rather than a rush.

Management accounts

Statutory accounts look backwards. Management accounts give you a regular view of profit, cash flow and key figures during the year, so you can spot problems early, plan for tax payments and make decisions with confidence. We can tailor them to the numbers that matter most to you, and talk you through them.

Who It's For

Sole traders and landlords need to prepare for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, which requires digital records and quarterly updates once your qualifying income passes the threshold. Our guide to Making Tax Digital in 2026 explains the timetable, and our landlord accountants page covers rental income in more detail.

Limited companies and contractors need bookkeeping that feeds cleanly into VAT returns, payroll, year-end accounts and the corporation tax return. See our contractor accountant services if you work through your own company.

Ecommerce sellers often deal with marketplace fees, payment platforms, refunds and stock across several channels. Our ecommerce accountants help reconcile it all to your bank. Construction businesses working under the Construction Industry Scheme can find out more on our CIS accountant page.

Already have an accountant but not getting the service you need? We can handle the switch for you, including requesting your records from your previous accountant.

How It Works & How Our Fees Work

We start with a call to understand your business, how you keep records now and what you need from us. We then agree a scope of work and a fixed monthly fee, set up or review your software, and take over your bookkeeping and filings from an agreed date.

Our fees are fixed and agreed upfront, so you know what you will pay each month and can budget with confidence. Packages are available for sole traders, landlords, contractors and limited companies, and you can see what is included in each on our pricing page.
