Start-up Accounts & Tax Setup

A clear accounting and tax starting point for a new sole trader or company, without unnecessary complexity.

The decision to clarify

Have you started trading already, or are you still deciding what records, registrations and structure you need?

The answer determines the records, deadline and professional scope. A callback is used to establish those facts before a service or fee is agreed.

2

Fit and scope

The callback identifies whether the matter is suitable and what information would be required.

3

Clear proposal

If appropriate, the scope, responsibilities and fee are confirmed before an engagement begins.

Before you enquire

Questions worth answering first.

These are general explanations, not advice for a specific set of circumstances.

Should I start as a sole trader or company?

There is no universal answer. Tax, liability, administration, funding and growth plans all matter. A good first discussion compares those factors against your actual activity and expected scale.

Can you form a company for me?

Company-formation and registered-office arrangements are not part of the initial offer. Accounting, tax-registration and record-keeping questions can still be reviewed once your proposed structure is clear.

When should I organise bookkeeping?

Before transactions become difficult to reconstruct. A simple record process from the start reduces later time, uncertainty and cost, even when trading volume is still modest.
