Is your Burton upon Trent business accounting in order?
Answer five quick questions and get a clear, personalised next step based on where your accounts actually stand right now.
What I handle on your behalf
From annual accounts and tax returns to VAT, payroll and day-to-day bookkeeping, I take care of the numbers so you can focus on running your business.
Accounts and Tax Returns
I prepare and file your annual accounts and tax return accurately, on time, and with a full review of your position beforehand. Whether you are a sole trader or a limited company director, I handle everything from start to submission. You will always know what you owe before the deadline arrives.
Sole traders and limited companiesSelf Assessment Tax Returns
If you are self-employed, a contractor or earn income outside of PAYE, you need a self assessment return filed with HMRC each year. I collect your information, calculate your liability correctly and submit before the deadline. I also check whether your payments on account are set at the right level.
Filed accurately and on timeVAT Returns and MTD for VAT
I prepare and submit your VAT returns through Making Tax Digital compliant software, including QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Xero and Sage. VAT rules can catch businesses out, particularly around partial exemption and the flat rate scheme. I review each return before it goes in and flag anything that needs attention.
MTD compliant submissionsWhy clients come back every year
Three things that make a genuine difference when you need an accountant you can actually rely on.
You speak to me, not a different person every time
Every client at Anchor Accounts and Books deals directly with me. There are no junior staff, no handoffs and no explaining your situation from scratch to someone new. I know your business because I have built that understanding over time, and it stays that way.
Fixed fees with no surprises
You agree a fixed fee before we start, so there are no unexpected invoices when you ask a question or need a call. I think chargeable-by-the-minute accounting creates the wrong relationship. You should feel free to pick up the phone without it costing you.
Same-day responses when it matters
When you receive an HMRC letter or need a quick answer before making a business decision, waiting two days for a reply is not good enough. I respond the same day as standard. That is not a promise I make lightly, it is how I have run this practice since day one.
How it works
Getting started is straightforward, and you will know exactly what to expect at every stage.
Book a free call
Use the booking link to arrange a free introductory call at a time that suits you. There is no obligation and no sales pressure. It is simply a chance for you to tell me about your situation and ask whatever questions you have.
Tell me where things stand
Whether your books are tidy or have not been touched in a year, I am not here to judge. I ask a few straightforward questions to understand your business, your current setup and what you need. If things are behind, I will tell you honestly what is involved in getting caught up.
Receive a fixed-fee proposal
I send you a clear, fixed-fee proposal covering exactly what I will handle. No hidden extras. No vague scope. You know what you are getting and what it costs before you commit to anything.
I take it from here
Once you are onboarded, I manage your deadlines, keep your records in order and stay available when you need me. You focus on your business. I make sure HMRC is dealt with correctly and on time, every time.
