The parts of running a company that eat your time
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — it's the reason most owner-managed companies end up looking for an accountant.
"Corporation tax deadlines creep up" while I'm busy actually running the business.
"I don't know if I'm paying myself the right way" — salary, dividends, or a mix of both.
"VAT and payroll are two separate headaches" on two separate deadlines, every single month.
"My last accountant only appeared once a year" — never before a decision that actually mattered.
Support built around a small limited company

Working out the most sensible way to pay yourself, and what to set aside for corporation tax before it's due.

Learn moreQuestions from company directors
A few things owner-managers usually want to know before getting in touch.
Do you handle my company's tax and my own personal tax return?
Yes. Most directors need both looked at together, since how you take money out of the company affects your personal self assessment. We handle them side by side, not as two separate jobs.
Can you help me decide between salary and dividends?
Yes — this is one of the most common questions we're asked. We'll look at your company's figures and talk you through the options in plain English, so the decision is yours to make with the full picture.
My company isn't VAT registered yet. When should it be?
It depends on your turnover and how it's trending. We'll keep an eye on this with you and flag it well before registration becomes compulsory.
I'm setting up payroll for the first time — where do we start?
We'll register your PAYE scheme, set up auto-enrolment if it applies, and take payslips and submissions off your hands from the first pay run onward.
Do you also file my confirmation statement?
Yes, we track and submit your annual confirmation statement to Companies House as part of keeping your company compliant.
