Running payroll correctly means Real Time Information (RTI) submitted to HMRC on or before every payday, payslips that are accurate down to the last deduction, and auto-enrolment pension duties handled without you having to think about them. We run your payroll on that schedule every time, so your team is paid correctly and on time, and your PAYE obligations are always up to date.

We also handle the administrative side: new starters, leavers, tax code changes and P60s/P45s, so payroll stays off your desk entirely.

Every tax return we prepare is checked, explained in plain English, and filed early, never rushed through in the days before a deadline. We gather your figures, work through them line by line, and make sure every allowance and relief you’re entitled to has actually been claimed, not just assumed.

Before anything is submitted, you’ll get a clear summary of what’s being filed and what you owe (or are due back), so there are no surprises when HMRC’s confirmation lands.

If you operate through a limited company, including many landlords using a property SPV, Companies House needs to be kept up to date, separately from HMRC. That means filing your confirmation statement each year, and reporting changes such as a new director, a change of registered office, or an update to your PSC (person with significant control) register, usually within 14 days of the change.

Miss a filing and Companies House can issue penalties or, in persistent cases, move to strike the company off the register. We track your filing dates, prepare and submit confirmation statements and company detail changes on your behalf, and let you know exactly what we need from you and when.

Tax advice should happen before a decision, not as commentary afterwards. We review your position ahead of each year end, flag reliefs and allowances you might otherwise miss, and model the tax impact of decisions (a property purchase, a change in income, a disposal) while there’s still time to act on it.

This is proactive planning rather than a once-a-year compliance exercise: regular check-ins, plain-English explanations, and a written recommendation whenever a decision has a meaningful tax consequence.

Weekly-categorised bookkeeping means your records are always inspection-ready, not a backlog you dread each quarter. We reconcile income and expenses regularly, keep everything filed against the right category and VAT treatment, and flag anything that looks off while there’s still time to fix it.

Good bookkeeping is also what makes everything else (your VAT returns, your annual accounts, your management information) fast and accurate instead of a scramble. We work inside Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, so you can see your numbers whenever you need to, not just when we send a report.

Owning rental property brings its own tax rules, and Section 24’s restriction on mortgage interest relief has changed the maths for every leveraged landlord. We model your actual position property by property, work out whether incorporating a portfolio into a limited company would save you money once all the costs are weighed up, and make sure every allowable expense is claimed rather than guessed at.

This isn’t a once-a-year conversation. We review your property tax position ahead of each Self Assessment deadline, flag changes in the rules before they cost you, and give you a clear, written recommendation rather than a shrug. If you’re deciding whether to buy, sell, remortgage or incorporate, we run the numbers before you commit, not after.

Clean, MTD-ready rental accounts are the foundation of an accurate tax return, and increasingly, a legal requirement as Making Tax Digital extends to landlords. We keep property-by-property records for every unit in your portfolio, categorising income and allowable expenses as they happen rather than reconstructing a year’s paperwork every spring.

That means your Self Assessment, your Section 24 calculations and your capital gains planning are all working from the same accurate, up-to-date figures, and your records are always ready if HMRC ever asks to see them.

Selling a residential property in the UK triggers a 60-day countdown: the gain must be reported and any tax paid within 60 days of completion, or penalties and interest start accruing immediately. We plan the disposal before you instruct the estate agent, working out your likely gain, the reliefs available, and the most tax-efficient timing.

Once you exchange, we prepare the CGT return and file it within the deadline, so there’s no last-minute panic. For landlords selling more than one property, or disposing of a share of a portfolio, we also model how the sale interacts with your wider tax position for the year.

Self Assessment shouldn’t mean a scramble every January. We prepare and file your return early (typically months before the 31 January deadline), so there’s time to check the numbers properly, claim every relief you’re entitled to, and plan for what you’ll owe well in advance.

We handle the whole process: gathering the figures, cross-checking them against your records, calculating the tax due, and submitting directly to HMRC as your appointed agent. You’ll get a plain-English summary of what you owe and why, not just a filed form. If HMRC ever queries anything, we deal with it on your behalf.
