Who we work with
We are a small practice and we work with small businesses. We are a good fit if you are:
- A small limited company. Owner-managed companies with one or two directors, including new companies filing for the first time
- A contractor or freelancer. People working through their own company, such as the freelancers and contractors who work in and around MediaCity
- A sole trader. Trades, shops, consultants and online sellers who need a tax return and tidy books
- A landlord. Rental income reported correctly on your Self Assessment return
We do not carry out audits, so we are not the right fit for a company that needs one.
