Where We Work

London & Essex Accountants Serving Your Area

Based across London with clients in construction, hospitality, retail and property throughout East, West and Central London, plus Essex.

Directors Abroad

You're not our exception. You're our routine.

Directors overseas, landlords in the Gulf, contractors working away from London. A large share of our clients are not in the UK most of the year. Because the practice runs on systems rather than one person's inbox, you get the same response times across time zones. Your filings, your deadlines and your questions are handled the same way whether you are in Wimbledon or Doha.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from construction firms, restaurant owners, retailers and property investors across London and Essex.

View All FAQs
Do construction companies need a specialist accountant?

Yes. CIS monthly returns, the VAT domestic reverse charge (mandatory since March 2021) and IR35 for subcontractors all require specialist knowledge. We ensure compliance and maximise allowable expense claims including plant, materials and site costs.

What accounting does a restaurant business need?

Monthly management accounts tracking food-cost margins and labour percentages, VAT returns on the flat-rate scheme, payroll for tipped staff, tronc management and year-end statutory accounts.

What is Making Tax Digital and does it affect me?

MTD for VAT is already mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses. MTD for Income Tax started on 6 April 2026 for landlords and sole traders with gross income over £50,000. The threshold falls to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. We set every client up on Xero well ahead of their start date, so there are no surprises.

How does Section 24 affect London landlords?

Section 24 restricts mortgage-interest relief to the 20% basic rate, increasing many landlords' tax bills significantly. We review SPV limited company structures, CGT planning and all legal strategies to reduce the impact.

What are monthly management accounts?

Real-time P&L, cashflow and KPI reports delivered monthly. For restaurants, food margins; for construction, job costing; for retail, stock performance. Unlike year-end accounts, they let you act on problems throughout the year.

Do retail businesses need a VAT-specialist accountant?

Yes. Zero-rated goods, import VAT and the flat-rate or margin schemes make retail VAT complex. We ensure accurate, MTD-compliant returns so you never overpay or face HMRC penalties.
