What I handle on your behalf
Whether you are a sole trader filing your first self assessment or a limited company director managing payroll and VAT, I handle the work personally from start to finish.
Accounts and Tax Returns
I prepare and file your annual accounts and tax returns, whether you trade as a sole trader or through a limited company. Every return is reviewed and filed on time, with HMRC notified so you never miss a deadline. I also handle Corporation Tax for limited companies and advise on any reliefs you can legitimately claim.
Sole traders and limited companiesVAT Returns and Making Tax Digital
I manage your VAT returns and submit them through MTD-compliant software, so your records meet HMRC requirements from day one. I use QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Xero or Sage depending on what fits your business, and I will set everything up if you are starting from scratch. You do not need to understand the software yourself.
MTD compliantBookkeeping and Payroll
I keep your books in order on a monthly or quarterly basis so your numbers are always current and accurate. Payroll is processed personally for each pay run, with RTI submissions made to HMRC on time. Keeping both under one roof means nothing falls through the gaps.
Monthly and quarterly optionsWhy clients come back every year
Most clients tell me the same thing: they want an accountant they can actually get hold of, who knows their business and does not make them feel awkward for asking questions.
You always speak to me directly
I run Anchor Accounts and Books entirely on my own. There are no junior staff, no account managers and no handoffs. When you send a message or pick up the phone, you speak to the AAT-qualified accountant who holds your file and knows your business. That is a deliberate choice, not a coincidence.
Fixed fees with no surprises
You know what you pay before we start. I do not charge by the hour, and there are no unexpected invoices when a deadline arrives or when you ask a question mid-year. A fixed fee means you can plan, and it means you do not avoid calling me when something comes up.
Fast responses when it matters
I aim to respond to every message the same day. When you are waiting on an answer to a tax question or a letter from HMRC, slow replies make a stressful situation worse. I keep response times short because that is a basic standard I hold myself to, not an upsell.
How it works
Getting started is straightforward and takes a single phone call to set in motion.
Book a free call
We have a short, no-obligation call where I ask about your business, what you need and where things currently stand. There is no catch and no hard sell. If I can help, I will say so clearly.
Get a fixed fee proposal
I send a clear written proposal covering exactly what I will handle and what it costs per month. No hourly rates, no vague ranges. You know the number before you commit to anything.
I take care of the setup
Once you are on board, I handle the HMRC authorisation, any software setup and the handover from your previous accountant if you have one. You do not need to chase anyone or fill in forms you do not understand.
Ongoing support throughout the year
I manage your deadlines, keep your books current and respond to questions as they come up. You do not only hear from me at year-end. I am available when things change, not just when returns are due.
