You get accurate tax calculations, correctly prepared returns, and a clear timetable of what is due and when, so you can focus on running the business with confidence. ## What the package covers This service brings tax preparation and practical compliance support into one clear workflow, so nothing is missed and submissions are based on reliable figures. - Preparation and filing of the relevant tax returns for your business type (for example Self Assessment or Corporation Tax) - Year end accounts support for statutory reporting where required - Review of income and allowable expenses to improve accuracy and reduce avoidable tax - Deadline management and submission confirmation for key filings - Guidance on what records to keep and how to keep them HMRC ready - Clear queries list where information is missing, with practical help to resolve it ### Who this is for This package suits sole traders, freelancers, contractors, and owner managed limited companies who want certainty that tax work is done properly and on time. It is a strong fit if you are time poor, have multiple income streams, or you are juggling VAT, payroll, or year end reporting alongside day to day delivery. ### How delivery works We start by confirming what filings apply to you and agreeing the timeline for the year. We then review your bookkeeping and supporting records, raise any questions early, and finalise the figures before preparing the returns. You receive a plain English summary of what is being filed, what you owe (or are due), and the key dates to act on. ### After filing: staying compliant and improving next year Once submissions are complete, you keep a clear audit trail and a checklist for the next period. Where useful, we highlight practical improvements to record keeping and processes to reduce future admin and help you plan for upcoming liabilities.

The package covers the returns that apply to your setup, such as Self Assessment for sole traders and directors, and Corporation Tax for limited companies. We confirm what you need at the start and work to the correct deadlines. Do you handle HMRC and Companies House deadlines for me? Yes. We agree a timetable of required filings and manage the workflow so submissions are prepared in good time. You will know what is due, when it is due, and what actions are needed from you. What records do I need to provide? Typically you will provide access to your accounting records plus supporting documents such as invoices, bank statements, and expense receipts. If anything is missing, we send a clear list of what is needed and help you fill the gaps. Can you work with cloud accounting software? Yes. If you already use cloud software, we can usually work from your existing setup and reports. If your records are in spreadsheets or mixed formats, we can still support you and agree the most efficient way to share information. Will you tell me how much tax to set aside? Yes. As part of the preparation, we explain the tax position and the payment dates, so you can plan cash flow. If there are options to improve tax efficiency within the rules, we will flag them and discuss next steps.
