About the practice
Accounting that explains itself
We believe you should understand your own numbers. Every return, account and recommendation comes with a plain explanation of what it means for you, and a person you can actually reach when questions come up.
Individuals & households
Tax returns, rental income and the occasional complicated year.
Freelancers & contractors
Self-employment records, expenses and payments on account made simple.
Small businesses
Books, payroll and year-end accounts for teams that would rather focus on the work.

Questions
Good to know before we talk
What should I have ready for the intro call?
Nothing formal. A rough idea of your income sources, your business type if you have one, and any deadlines on your mind is plenty. We'll send a tailored document checklist afterwards.
Is it difficult to switch from my current accountant?
Not at all. With your permission we request the handover information directly, so you don't have to chase anything or have an awkward conversation.
Can we work together entirely remotely?
Yes. Documents are shared securely online and meetings happen by video call, so it doesn't matter where you're based.
How are fees worked out?
Fees depend on the scope and complexity of the work. After the intro call you'll receive a fixed, written quote. There's no hourly billing and no surprise invoices.
I'm behind on my records. Can you still help?
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping and late returns are common. We'll prioritise what's most urgent and get everything current in a sensible order.
