Your own finance
department — without the payroll.

Ltd company or growing sole trader, we run the whole lot end to end — and make sure you're drawing money the smart way, paying the right tax, and never a penny more than you owe.

  • Year-end accounts & corporation tax, filed early
  • Salary & dividends structured for the lowest tax
  • VAT, bookkeeping & payroll handled every month
  • Proactive planning — not just last year's history, filed late

CIS done properly —
and your rebate
chased hard.

Seven in ten of our clients are in construction, so we live and breathe CIS. Contractor or subcontractor, we handle it end to end — and make sure you get back every pound you're owed.

  • Monthly CIS returns & verification, filed on time
  • Subcontractor rebates maximised & chased
  • Gross payment status applications
  • We speak site, not spreadsheet
CIS refunds & help
Most CIS subbies are owed £1,500–£3,000 back.
