Accountancy services in Bournemouth & Poole
A full range of accounting and tax services for businesses, landlords and individuals across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and the wider Dorset area — all on fixed, transparent fees, from a local team you can actually reach.
Self Assessment & Tax Returns
If self assessment fills you with dread, we'll take the whole thing off your hands — working out what you owe, claiming every expense you're entitled to, and filing on time so you never face an HMRC late penalty. Ideal for sole traders, the self-employed, freelancers, company directors and landlords across Bournemouth and Poole. Fixed fee, agreed up front, and the deadline handled well ahead of 31 January.
Ltd Company Formation
Starting a business? We'll register your limited company quickly and correctly, and set it up the right way from day one — the right share structure, the right HMRC and Companies House registrations, and clear guidance on what comes next. As a local Bournemouth accountant, we don't just register your company and disappear; we're here to run it with you afterwards.
Ltd Company Management
Limited companies come with a calendar full of obligations — annual statutory accounts, Corporation Tax, confirmation statements and director's tax. We keep your company compliant and on time, handle Companies House and HMRC, and advise on tax-efficient profit extraction (salary vs dividends). Fixed monthly or annual fees, and a real person who picks up the phone when something comes up. Switching from another accountant is easy — we handle the whole handover for you.
Making Tax Digital (MTD)
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is already here — mandatory from April 2026 for self-employed people and landlords earning over £50,000, with the threshold dropping to £30,000 in 2027 and £20,000 in 2028. We get you onto the right MTD-compatible software, your record-keeping digital, and your quarterly updates filed — so MTD becomes one less thing to worry about rather than a looming deadline. (We handle MTD for VAT too.)
CIS – Construction Industry Scheme
For Dorset's contractors and subcontractors. If you're a subcontractor, contractors deduct tax before you're paid — often more than you actually owe — and we file your return and reclaim the CIS tax refund you're owed, frequently hundreds or thousands of pounds a year. If you're a contractor, we handle registration, monthly CIS returns and subcontractor verification so you stay compliant without the admin headache. CIS is a big part of what we do across Bournemouth and Poole.
Payroll & Bookkeeping
Staff paid correctly and on time, RTI submissions and auto-enrolment pensions handled, and your books kept tidy and ready for VAT, year-end and MTD. We run reliable payroll and bookkeeping for small businesses across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch — accurate, on time, and off your plate. Cloud bookkeeping setup and support included where you need it.
VAT Returns & Compliance
VAT is one of the easiest taxes to get wrong and one of the most expensive when you do. We advise on whether and when to register, choose the scheme that costs you least (standard, Flat Rate or cash accounting), and file accurate, MTD-compliant quarterly returns. Fixed fee, no surprises — for VAT-registered businesses across Bournemouth and Poole.
Accounting for Landlords
Property gets complicated fast — mortgage interest rules, allowable expenses, capital gains, and now Making Tax Digital for landlords. We keep landlords across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch compliant and tax-efficient: rental income and expenses done properly, every allowable cost claimed, and your tax return filed on time. From a single flat to a growing portfolio.
Ltd SPV for Buy-to-Let
Thinking of buying property through a limited company? A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) can be more tax-efficient than owning in your own name — but it isn't right for everyone. We give Dorset landlords straight advice on whether an SPV makes sense for their situation, then set it up correctly and run it: company accounts, Corporation Tax and ongoing compliance.
