It combines clear advice with hands-on preparation, so your records, calculations and submissions are accurate, timely and easy to evidence if questions arise. ## What this service covers This service is designed to reduce compliance risk while keeping your day-to-day admin manageable. Support is tailored to how you trade and what you need to file. - Compliance health check of your current bookkeeping and processes - Practical guidance on what to record, keep, and reconcile (and how often) - VAT support: registration guidance, scheme choice, return preparation and checks - Payroll compliance support: RTI submissions, year-end tasks, and record keeping - Tax preparation support for the filings relevant to you (self assessment and/or corporation tax) - Statutory compliance prompts so key deadlines are not missed - Clear explanations of what the numbers mean and what HMRC expects ### Who this is best for - Sole traders and freelancers who want confidence their records and returns stand up to scrutiny - Contractors and owner-managed limited companies juggling VAT, payroll and multiple deadlines - Growing businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets or inconsistent bookkeeping - Anyone who has had a warning letter, penalty, or is worried their past filings were not quite right ### How the service is delivered You start with a review of your current setup, recent filings, and any problem areas. From there, you get an agreed plan: what will be prepared, what information you need to provide, and when checks happen during the year. Work is typically done using cloud accounting records, with clear actions and timelines so nothing is left until the last minute. ### What happens after the initial work Once your compliance is stabilised, you can keep the support in place to prevent issues returning. That means regular check-ins, updated guidance when rules change, and ongoing checks before submissions go in. You also get practical process improvements to reduce admin time and make future tax periods smoother.

It combines advice with hands-on preparation to keep your records and filings accurate and on time. Support can cover bookkeeping checks, VAT, payroll compliance, and tax-related preparation based on what you need to submit. Is this different from standard year-end accounts and tax returns? Yes. It focuses on getting things right throughout the year, not just at filing time. The aim is fewer surprises, better records, and smoother submissions. Can you help if my bookkeeping is behind or messy? Yes. The first step is to assess what is missing and what needs correcting, then agree a catch-up plan. You will get clear priorities so you can improve accuracy without wasting time. What do I need to provide to get started? Typically you will share access to your accounting records (or provide exports), plus key documents like bank statements, invoices, and payroll reports if relevant. You will also confirm any recent filings and HMRC/Companies House correspondence. Can you support me if HMRC queries a return or contacts me? Yes. You will be guided on what HMRC is asking for, what evidence is needed, and how to respond clearly. If corrections are required, you will get a practical plan to fix the underlying issue.
