We keep the books, file VAT returns, run payroll and prepare year-end accounts for sole traders, partnerships and small limited companies in Reigate. We also prepare Self Assessment returns for landlords and for anyone who works for themselves.

Meetings are by appointment, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. We can also work by video call, phone and email, in English, Russian or Romanian.
Our Reigate Services
The regular work that keeps a small business up to date with HMRC.
Bookkeeping
We record your sales, costs and payments and reconcile them to the bank every month or quarter. You see where the business stands, and your VAT and year-end figures are ready when they're needed.
VAT Registration & Returns
We register you when your taxable turnover over the last 12 months passes £90,000, explain which VAT scheme fits, and file your returns through Making Tax Digital software.
Payroll
Payroll from your first employee onwards: payslips, RTI submissions to HMRC, statutory pay and auto-enrolment.
Self Assessment
Returns for Reigate sole traders, landlords and partners. We claim the expenses you're entitled to and file before the 31 January deadline.

Three Rules for Reigate Businesses
Points to check as your business grows.
1
The £90,000 VAT threshold
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover over the last 12 months goes above £90,000, or if you expect to go over it in the next 30 days alone. Check the rolling 12-month total every month, not just at your year end.
2
Taking on your first employee
Register as an employer with HMRC before the first payday, then report pay and deductions through RTI on or before each payday. You'll also need to enrol eligible staff in a workplace pension under auto-enrolment.
3
Business rates at the Town Hall
Business rates for premises in Reigate are billed by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, whose offices are at the Town Hall on Castlefield Road, a short walk from Reigate station. Ask the council about small business rate relief. East Surrey Council is due to take over on 1 April 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Reigate sole traders, landlords and companies.
Can I meet you in person if I'm based in Reigate?
Yes, by appointment. Southern trains from Reigate to London Victoria stop at East Croydon, next to our Croydon office at AMP House, Dingwall Road. For our London Bridge office, change at Redhill for Thameslink. If you'd rather not travel, we can meet by video call.
Do you work with builders and trades in Reigate?
Yes. Under the Construction Industry Scheme, contractors deduct 20% from payments to registered subcontractors and 30% from unregistered ones, and file a monthly return by the 19th. We prepare the returns for contractors, and for subcontractors we make sure the tax already deducted is set against your bill or refunded.
Should I be a sole trader or a limited company?
It depends on your profits, how you want to pay yourself and how much admin you want to take on. A limited company files accounts with Companies House and pays Corporation Tax, while a sole trader reports profits on a Self Assessment return. We go through the numbers with you and can set up the company if that's the better choice.
Do you work with landlords in Reigate?
Yes. Rental income goes on your Self Assessment return. If you own a property jointly, each owner normally reports their own share of the rent and costs. If your rent and self-employed income together are over £50,000, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies to you from 6 April 2026.
Will I be charged by the hour?
No, not for routine work. Bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll and year-end accounts are quoted at a fixed fee after a short call and confirmed in writing. If you ask for something outside that, we quote for it before we start.
