Accountants for startups
and new companies
Get the foundations right in year one: the right structure, the right registrations, and no missed first filings.
Your company’s first two years, mapped
Every new company hits these dates. We track all of them from day one.
Incorporation
Company registered with the right share structure, plus corporation tax registration with HMRC. We set up PAYE and VAT only when they earn their keep.
Foundations in place
Business bank account, cloud bookkeeping connected, and founder pay planned: salary, dividends and directors’ loans set up so they never become a mess.
First confirmation statement
Due within 14 days of your incorporation anniversary. Small filing, real penalties if forgotten.
First accounts due
Your first Companies House accounts arrive faster than anyone expects: 21 months after incorporation. Ours are prepared well before.
First corporation tax
Payment 9 months and 1 day after your first year-end, return within 12 months. You will know the bill long in advance.
Start clean. Stay clean.
The most expensive accounting mistakes happen in the first year: the wrong structure, missed registrations, directors’ loans nobody tracked, and a first-year filing deadline that arrives sooner than anyone expects.

Startup questions, answered
More questions? See our full FAQ for answers on company formation, tax and payroll.
Should I set up as a sole trader or a limited company?
It depends on expected profit, risk and how you plan to grow. Limited companies bring credibility and tax planning options but more admin. We will give you a straight recommendation on a free call.
I have already formed my company. Can you still help?
Of course. We review what has been set up, fix any missing registrations, and take over your filings from wherever you are.
When should a startup register for VAT?
Registration is mandatory at £90,000 taxable turnover, but voluntary registration earlier sometimes saves money, especially if your customers are VAT-registered businesses. We assess it for your case.
Can you grow with us as we hire?
Yes. Plans scale with payroll, VAT and bookkeeping as you add them, and every change to your fee is agreed in writing first.
