Behind on your books? That is fixable
Bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and year-end accounts for small businesses and the self-employed. A price agreed before we start, and somebody who answers the phone.

Plainspoken Accounts
- A first conversation
- You send what you have
- We tell you where you stand
What working with us is like
A price you know
Agreed before any work starts, not counted in hours afterwards.
Calls answered
You get a person who knows your business, not a queue.
Deadlines chased
We tell you what is coming before it is late, and chase you if we must.
No shame
Shoeboxes, missing invoices, years behind — we have seen all of it and sorted it.
What we do
- 01
Bookkeeping
Kept up to date monthly or quarterly, so nothing has to be reconstructed a year later.
- 02
Tax returns
Prepared, checked and filed on time, with what you owe told to you early enough to put it aside.
- 03
VAT
Registration, returns and the question of whether you should be registered at all.
- 04
Payroll
Staff paid correctly and on time, with the contributions and filings that go with it.
- 05
Year-end accounts
Prepared and filed, with the balance sheet and the profit figure explained before anything is signed.
- 06
Management figures
What the business actually made this quarter, and what is coming out of the account next month.
- 07
Starting a business
The company form, the registration and the setup decisions that are hard to undo later.
- 08
Invoices and cash
Getting paid on time, and knowing which month is going to be tight before it is.
- 09
Catching up
Several years behind, sorted in one go and brought back on track.
- 10
Software
Set up and shown how to use it, so day to day takes minutes rather than evenings.
- 11
Letters from the tax office
Opened, explained and answered, which is usually far less frightening than it looks.
From the shoebox to filed
However far behind, it is caught up in the same order.
- Step 1
A first conversation
What you have, what is late, and what is worrying you most.
- Step 2
You send what you have
Statements, invoices, receipts, letters. A mess is fine; sorting it is the job.
- Step 3
We tell you where you stand
What is owed, what is due and when, in plain words and early enough to act.
- Step 4
We keep it there
Deadlines watched, filings made, and a reminder before each one.
“Failed twice with someone else and nearly gave up.”
Passed first time with Jane, and she was the only one who told me what I was actually doing wrong.

I am years behind. Is that a problem?
It is common and it is fixable. We start with what is most urgent and work back.
How much will it cost?
You get a fixed price after a free first conversation, before any work starts.
Should I register for VAT?
Sometimes it helps and sometimes it costs you. We will do the sums for your figures rather than quote a rule.
Will you answer when I call?
Yes. If we cannot answer, you get called back the same working day.
Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes, and we handle the handover, including asking them for your records.
Do we have to meet in person?
Not unless you want to. Most of it works by email, phone or video.
Deadline coming?
Get in touch before it passes — it is cheaper and easier than afterwards.
