Who We Help in Crawley

Support tailored to how you work, from small businesses and startups to sole traders, contractors and landlords.

01 Small Businesses & Startups

Running a small business means keeping track of cash coming in, bills going out and tax due, often alongside everything else you do. We help Crawley business owners maintain useful financial records, meet deadlines and understand their results.

If you are starting a business, we can help you consider the accounting and tax implications of your business structure and put record-keeping processes in place from the outset.

02 Sole Traders, Contractors & Freelancers

Your accounting needs depend on how you work. A sole trader may need support with Self Assessment and business records, while someone trading through a limited company will also have company accounts, Corporation Tax and Companies House obligations.

We tailor our support to your circumstances and can discuss issues relevant to your work, including VAT and, where applicable, IR35.

03 Landlords

Property income brings its own record-keeping and tax responsibilities. We help landlords organise rental income and expense records, prepare tax returns and understand how their property activity affects their tax position.

The requirements depend on individual circumstances and the nature of the property activity, and we tailor our support accordingly.

Making Tax Digital for Crawley Sole Traders and Landlords

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax requires qualifying sole traders and landlords to keep digital records and use compatible software to send quarterly updates to HMRC. The start date depends on qualifying income from self-employment and property before expenses, as reported on an earlier tax return.

How Much Does an Accountant in Crawley Cost?

The fee depends on the work involved. A sole trader needing an annual tax return will usually need a different level of support from a limited company with regular bookkeeping, VAT and payroll.

We agree a fixed fee and explain what it covers before work begins, so you know what support you are receiving.
