Your Business, Your Own Client Manager
You should know who to contact when you have an accounting question.
Every Accounting People client has a dedicated manager. They get to know your business and provide a consistent point of contact for your accounts, records and ongoing accounting needs.
Whether you need to understand a tax figure, discuss a letter or ask what information to provide, you have someone to speak to. If your manager is unavailable when you contact us, they will get back to you.
Our aim is to make your accounting easier to understand and manage, so you can spend more time running your business.
Small Business Accounting Services
If you need an accountant throughout the year, we can bring your bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and year-end work together in one agreed scope. What we handle depends on how your business operates and which work you already do in-house.
Your client manager will explain what we need from you and what’s coming up next.
During the year
we can keep your bookkeeping up to date and run payroll where agreed.
At VAT deadlines
we can prepare and submit your returns if your business is VAT registered and this is part of your service.
At year end
we can prepare your accounts and the relevant tax returns, and explain what the figures mean for your business.
Bookkeeping & Financial Records
Keep your financial records organised and understand the money coming into and going out of your business. We help with bookkeeping and cloud accounting, including support with platforms such as Xero and QuickBooks.
Annual Accounts and Company Accounting
For limited companies, we prepare annual accounts and support the relevant filing requirements. Your manager can explain the information needed and help you understand your company’s figures.
Tax Returns and Tax Support
We prepare tax returns and help you understand the obligations relevant to your business. This can include Self Assessment for sole traders and business owners, or Corporation Tax for limited companies. We can also discuss tax-planning questions based on your circumstances.

VAT Returns and Making Tax Digital

Payroll and PAYE
We provide payroll support for businesses with employees and company directors, including PAYE reporting and relevant pension submissions. Your proposal will explain the payroll work included in your service.

Sole Traders and Self-Employed Business Owners
We can help you keep your records in order, prepare your Self Assessment return and understand what’s due. If Making Tax Digital applies to you, we can discuss the records and software you’ll need. If you only need help with your tax return, you can go straight to our Self Assessment service.

Set up your bookkeeping, choose accounting software and understand your first filing deadlines. As your business grows, we can discuss what you need for payroll, VAT or financial forecasting.

Partnerships
Speak to us about the accounting and tax support your partnership needs. We’ll discuss how you keep your records, what needs to be filed and which work you’d like us to handle for the business and its partners.
How We Quote for Small Business Accounting
On your free 15-minute call, we’ll ask how your business is set up, who currently looks after your records and what you’d like us to take on. Let us know if a filing deadline is close or if there’s work outstanding.
Your fee depends on the services you need, the volume and condition of your records, and whether you need support with VAT, payroll or earlier periods. If we’re a good fit, we’ll send you a written quote showing what’s included, how the fee is charged and any work we’ve priced separately.
Thinking About Switching Accountants?
You can speak to us while you still have an accountant. We’ll ask what you’d like to improve, check which deadlines are coming up and agree when we can take over. Once you appoint us, we can contact your previous accountant to request the records and information we need.
