Sound familiar?
Most of our clients come to us after years of putting up with something that simply wasn't working. If any of these resonate, you're in the right place.
Their accountant is slow
Weeks pass without a response. Deadlines creep up with no warning. You're left chasing someone you're paying for peace of mind.
They're behind on paperwork
Months of unreconciled records, unfiled returns, or missed deadlines. It feels overwhelming — but it's fixable, and we've seen it before.
They want more clarity
They don't know their tax position, what they owe, or what they can draw. Good accounting should give you clarity, not confusion.
They want proper support
Not just a filing service. They want someone to actually answer their questions and give them straight, useful guidance when it matters.

Running a trade business is hard enough without the paperwork on top
Most tradespeople we speak to are dealing with the same problems. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
You're doing the books late at night
After a full day on site, the last thing you want is to be sorting invoices and receipts at 10pm. There's a better way.
You're not sure what you owe HMRC
Tax bills that come out of nowhere. No idea what to set aside. No one giving you a straight answer.
CIS is confusing and time-consuming
Deductions, monthly returns, verifying subcontractors — it adds up fast and the penalties for getting it wrong are real.
Your accountant doesn't respond
You send a message and wait days. Deadlines pass. You're left chasing someone you're paying for peace of mind.
Accounting support built around how trade businesses actually work
Whether you're a sole trader working alone or running a small team, we understand the specific challenges that come with working in the trades. We support:
Plumbers & Heating Engineers

Bookkeeping
We keep your records up to date on a quarterly or monthly basis, so your numbers are always in order and ready when needed.
Self Assessment
We prepare and file your annual Self Assessment return, making sure you're claiming everything you're entitled to and paying the right amount.

If you work under the Construction Industry Scheme as a contractor or subcontractor, we handle your monthly CIS returns and make sure deductions are dealt with correctly.
VAT Returns
We prepare and file your quarterly VAT returns, including domestic reverse charge where applicable, and keep you on top of deadlines.
Year-End Accounts & Corporation Tax
For limited company tradespeople, we prepare your annual accounts and Corporation Tax return and file everything on time.
Payroll
Running a small team? We handle PAYE, payslips, pension submissions and RTI filings so your staff are paid correctly and HMRC is kept informed.
Making Tax Digital (MTD)
We help you understand whether MTD applies to your business, get your records digital-ready, and make sure you're set up correctly before it becomes a problem.
Clear monthly plans built for tradespeople

You're out on the road all day — the last thing you need is a tax headache
Most courier drivers we speak to are dealing with the same problems. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
You don't know what to set aside for tax
Income comes in from multiple platforms — Amazon Flex, Evri, DPD, your own work. Working out what you owe HMRC is confusing and stressful.
You're not tracking your expenses properly
Fuel, insurance, vehicle maintenance, phone bills — you're probably missing out on allowable expenses that could reduce your tax bill.
You got a surprise tax bill
No one told you to save for tax. Now you owe HMRC more than you expected and you're not sure how to avoid it happening again.
You're not sure if you need to register for MTD
Making Tax Digital is coming for sole traders. You've heard about it but don't know if it applies to you or what you need to do.
You leave your Self Assessment to the last minute
Every January it's a rush. You're scrambling for receipts, guessing figures and hoping for the best.
Your accountant doesn't explain anything
You pay someone but you don't really understand what they're doing or whether you're paying the right amount of tax.
Everything a courier driver needs — sorted in one monthly plan
We deal with the tax admin so you don't have to. Here's exactly what we take care of:
Self Assessment
We prepare and file your annual Self Assessment return, making sure every allowable expense is claimed — fuel, mileage, insurance, vehicle costs, phone, equipment and more.
Bookkeeping
We keep your income and expenses organised on a quarterly basis so your records are always in order and ready for your tax return.
Expense Tracking Guidance
We help you understand what you can and can't claim — mileage vs actual fuel costs, use of home, equipment, clothing and more — so you're not leaving money on the table.
Tax Reserve Guidance
We tell you what to set aside each month based on your income so there are no surprise bills from HMRC at the end of the year.
Making Tax Digital (MTD)
We check whether MTD applies to you, help you get your records digital-ready and make sure you're set up correctly before the deadlines hit.
Deadline Tracking
We monitor your HMRC deadlines and make sure your Self Assessment is filed on time — no penalties, no last-minute panic.
Limited Company Support
If you're operating through a limited company or thinking about it, we can handle your accounts, Corporation Tax and advise on the most tax-efficient structure for your situation.
Are you claiming everything you're entitled to?
Most courier drivers we speak to are underclaiming on expenses. Here's what you may be able to claim — we'll make sure nothing is missed.
Vehicle & Travel
- Fuel costs (or mileage allowance)
- Vehicle insurance
- Vehicle maintenance and repairs
- MOT and servicing
- Road tax
- Parking fees (business use)
- Congestion charges
Other Allowable Expenses
- Mobile phone (business use portion)
- Equipment and accessories
- Protective clothing
- Accountancy fees
- Bank charges
- Use of home as office (where applicable)
- Platform fees and subscriptions
Important
The rules around mileage vs actual costs, and what percentage of mixed-use expenses you can claim, can be complicated. We make sure you're claiming correctly and not leaving money on the table — or overclaiming and creating a risk with HMRC.
Still working as a sole trader? It might be costing you more than you think.
Many courier drivers stick with sole trader status because it feels simpler. But once your income reaches a certain level, a limited company can mean significantly less tax — and we handle everything for you.
Pay Less Tax
As a limited company director, you can take a combination of salary and dividends — often resulting in a lower overall tax bill than as a sole trader.
Protect Your Personal Finances
A limited company separates your personal assets from your business. If something goes wrong, your personal finances are protected.
Look More Professional
Some clients and platforms prefer to work with limited companies. It can open doors that sole trader status closes.
Plan Your Income Better
A limited company gives you more flexibility over when and how you take money out — useful for managing your tax position.
Is it worth it for me?
Generally, if you're earning over £30,000–£35,000 per year from courier work, a limited company is worth considering. We can check your specific situation on a short call.
What does it cost to set up?
We set up your limited company, register it for VAT and complete your KYC onboarding for a one-off fee of £249. After that, your monthly accounting is just £99/month with everything included.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. A limited company has slightly more admin than sole trader — but we handle all of it. You won't notice the difference day to day.
Two ways we can support you as a courier driver
Whether you're happy as a sole trader or ready to take the next step, we have a clear plan for you — with no hidden extras and no confusing tiers.
