Expert perspective
Agree the right accountancy package for your company.
We prepare annual company accounts and corporation tax returns, and agree the ongoing support your business needs. Packages start from £150 per month. The final fee depends on transaction volumes, records, reporting and the services included.
Bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns, management accounts, cash-flow reporting and regular financial reviews can be included in the agreed package. We set out which filings and reports we handle, what information you provide and when each item is due.
The company and its owners need to be considered together. We can coordinate director Self Assessment and review remuneration, dividends and pensions, with specialist planning, restructures and transactions scoped separately. You receive a clear distinction between recurring accountancy and additional advisory work.

When this matters
Recognise the point at which advice adds value
The best result usually comes from reviewing the position before documents are signed, money moves or a filing deadline becomes urgent.
Tax liabilities are a surprise
Corporation tax or payments on account are calculated after cash has already been committed elsewhere.
Management reporting is unreliable
Monthly figures do not reconcile to the balance sheet or cannot explain the difference between profit and cash.
The owner’s position is separate
Company accounts are prepared without coordinating dividends, benefits, director’s loans and the personal return.
The technical review
The areas we bring into one review
Good advice connects the tax analysis to the records, legal steps, cash position and longer-term objective.
Annual accounts
Statutory accounts prepared from reconciled records, with significant movements and balance-sheet items explained before approval.
Corporation tax
Computation of taxable profit, relief claims and capital allowances, plus advance planning for material transactions and payment dates.
Tax compliance
Registration, scheme selection, return review and advice on unusual supplies, property transactions and cross-border activity.
Payroll and benefits
PAYE reporting, director remuneration and benefits considered alongside company deductions and personal consequences.
Management information
Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash-flow and focused measures that support pricing, cost control, funding and investment decisions.
Owner tax
Dividends, director’s loans, pensions and Self Assessment coordinated with the company’s reserves and cash position.
What changes the answer
The reporting model should match the decisions you make.
More detail is not automatically better. Useful reporting is timely, reconciled and focused on the factors that change action.
- 01Are the bookkeeping records complete enough to support reliable payroll and year-end reporting?
- 02Which monthly or quarterly measures show performance early enough to act?
- 03What profits are available for distribution after tax, losses and Companies Act considerations?
- 04Which planned purchases, hires, finance arrangements or transactions need tax input before commitment?
How UA Tax works
Switch accountants with a clear handover and reporting plan
We agree responsibilities and deadlines before taking over your company accounts.
Define the package
Review the company, transaction volumes, software, year end and reporting needs. Agree the recurring services, monthly fee and any separate catch-up work.
Arrange the handover
With your authority, contact your previous accountant, arrange access to records and identify outstanding filings and approaching deadlines.
Keep records and reporting on track
Agree who maintains the books and when information is supplied. Where included, prepare management accounts and cash-flow reports for regular financial reviews.
Approve accounts and tax filings
Explain the accounts and tax calculation, obtain your approval before filing and identify decisions that need a separate tax planning review.
Questions worth asking
Frequently asked questions
Which accounting software do you support?
We work with mainstream cloud accounting platforms and agree the most suitable ledger, receipt capture, payroll and reporting workflow after reviewing your business. Software is selected for the process, not the other way round.
How early should annual accounts be prepared?
Well before the statutory deadline. Earlier accounts provide better information for lenders, dividends, tax planning and strategic decisions. We agree a target timetable rather than using the filing deadline as the production date.
Do small companies really need management accounts?
Not every company needs a lengthy monthly pack. Many benefit from concise quarterly information covering margin, debtors, cash, tax and director balances. The format should answer real management questions.
Can you review our tax compliance?
Yes. We review your business activities, records, filing obligations and planned transactions to identify gaps and agree the appropriate compliance support.
How should director expenses be handled?
The treatment depends on whether the cost is wholly for business, reimbursed, paid directly by the company or creates a benefit. We help set a policy, retain evidence and report items correctly.
What happens during the handover from our current accountant?
We obtain professional clearance and records, inspect opening balances, identify incomplete periods and confirm who will file each return. Any weaknesses are raised early with a plan to correct them.
What is included in the £150 monthly starting price?
This is a starting price for company accountancy, not a fixed package for every business. We confirm whether annual accounts, corporation tax, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and management reporting are included in your particular quote.
Can you help me change accountants?
Yes. We agree the handover date, outstanding filings, records and access needed, and arrange professional communication with your existing accountant after obtaining your authority.
