Do you handle both HMRC and Companies House work?

Yes. Where it is in your plan, we keep the accounts, CT600 and Companies House filings connected.

Can you take over from another UK accountant?

Yes. We review your latest accounts, tax position and books, agree the handover and pick up the next cycle. Switching is free.

Do you support directors as well as the company?

Yes. Director payroll and Self Assessment are included where relevant, so company and personal tax are looked at together.

Can you help with a UK company if I live abroad?
