We work with hundreds of businesses across England. York clients tell us the same things again and again about why they made the switch.
- 01
We pick up the phone
When York clients call us with a tax question, they speak to a qualified accountant within minutes — not a call queue, not a junior, not a chatbot.
- 02
Fixed monthly fees
No nasty surprises in the post. Pay one fixed fee for everything in your engagement letter, and budget with confidence all year.
- 03
Cloud-first workflow
Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent — we set them up, train your team and deliver real-time visibility on your numbers from any device.
- 04
Filed early, always
Self-assessments, VAT returns, CT600s — all submitted at least two weeks before HMRC's deadline. No January panic, ever.
- 05
Proactive tax planning
We don't just report your numbers — we plan for them. Quarterly check-ins keep your York business tax-efficient all year, not just at year-end.
- 06
Local knowledge, national reach
From local property markets to England-specific compliance, we bring local awareness alongside the resources of a national practice.
Proudly serving York& beyond.

Working with us from York
Most clients are fully transitioned within 5–10 working days. We handle the professional clearance letter, request your historic records and migrate your books to the cloud — all included in your first month at no extra cost. You won't miss a single deadline.
Fixed means fixed. Your monthly fee covers everything quoted in your engagement letter. If you take on something materially new — a new payroll scheme, an HMRC enquiry, an extra company — we agree the additional fee in writing before any work begins. You'll never see a surprise invoice.
Not at all. We serve clients across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland through video calls, secure document portals and cloud accounting software. Around 70% of our clients we've never met in person — and that includes some of our longest-standing relationships.
We're certified partners with Xero, QuickBooks Online, FreeAgent and Sage. We can recommend the right platform for your size and sector, set it up properly, train your team and handle the migration from spreadsheets or another system free of charge.
We handle the full enquiry on your behalf — correspondence, document gathering, technical arguments and meetings with the inspector. Most enquiries we deal with close out without any additional tax due. Optional fee-protection insurance is available so this work is covered without an extra bill.
Yes — and we'll give you a straight answer based on the numbers, not a sales pitch. We'll model the take-home pay, tax exposure, admin overhead and risk profile of sole trader vs. limited company at your current and projected income, then guide you to the right structure for your situation.
