Our approach
A practical path from records to answers.
Keep records from day one
Separate company money from personal spending and establish a simple system for invoices, receipts and bank activity.
Know the upcoming dates
Companies House and HMRC have separate obligations. We help build a calendar for your first accounting period.
Before we begin
Records worth gathering.
A good first conversation is easier when key information is to hand. We will confirm the exact list for your circumstances.
✓ Proposed business activity and ownership details
✓ Expected income, costs and funding sources
✓ Questions about director pay, VAT or payroll
Timing
Start before it becomes urgent.
Accounting setup should begin when the company starts trading. Discussing the structure and registrations early helps prevent mixed personal and company transactions and missing opening records.

Answers before we start.
Do I need separate company records?
Yes. A limited company is a separate legal entity and should keep its own financial records.
Will I need payroll as a director?
That depends on how you take income and your circumstances. Discuss salary and dividends before setting a routine.
Can you support ongoing accounts?
Yes. Bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts and tax support can be planned together.
