Why we started
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is the biggest change to personal tax since Self Assessment
arrived in 1997. From April 2026 it began replacing the annual tax return with quarterly
reporting, and by April 2028 it will cover anyone with more than £20,000 of self-employment or
rental income.
Most accountancy firms are treating it as a problem to deal with next year. We thought that was
the wrong answer. A few hundred thousand sole traders and landlords are about to be told they
now have five filing deadlines a year instead of one, most of them have never used accounting
software, and almost none of them know it is coming.
So we built a practice around it: the software set-up, the quarterly filing, the deadline
management and the final declaration, handled as one fixed monthly fee. Alongside the full
range of work a chartered firm does, company accounts, Corporation Tax, VAT, payroll,
audit and advisory.
How we work
Every client has a named chartered accountant who knows their business and stays with them.
Our directors work directly with clients and intend to keep it that way as the firm grows,
because it is the part of the service clients tell us matters most. Every set of accounts
and every piece of tax advice is reviewed and signed off by a Fellow of the ICAEW before it
leaves the firm, and we are registered to carry out statutory audit work.
