Online accountants for Manchester small businesses

You do not need to travel to an office to get your accounts done. We work with Manchester business owners through secure document sharing and phone or video conversations, with the records and responsibilities agreed at the start.

Choose help with a specific return or bring bookkeeping, company accounts, VAT and payroll together. We review the work you already do and explain what we need from you before quoting.

Discuss your business accounts

Your records, our agreed responsibilities

Tell us which software you use, who enters transactions and when your next filings are due. Access to a cloud account does not mean the records are complete: we still need invoices, explanations and approval of the final figures.

If the books are behind, we can assess the catch-up work separately so you understand the scope and cost.

Bookkeeping support

E-commerce accounting for Manchester sellers

Selling through your own website and several marketplaces can leave the sales records scattered across different systems. We help bring together sales, refunds, platform fees and settlement reports so your accounts explain more than the payments arriving in your bank.

Tell us where you hold stock, which countries you sell to and which platforms you use. Those details help identify the VAT questions that need reviewing and the scope of support you require.

When does a marketplace account for VAT?

A marketplace is treated as the supplier for VAT on certain transactions, not every sale. The position can depend on where the goods are, where the seller is established, the customer and the transaction details.

We review the relevant platform data and discuss the UK VAT work required. Overseas registrations or specialist advice should be identified separately rather than assumed to be included.

Discuss VAT support

Contractor and freelancer accountants

Whether you invoice as a sole trader or through a limited company, we help organise your accounting around the way you work. Your assignments, business costs and other income all help establish what needs reporting.

For a company, we can agree accounts and Corporation Tax support alongside director payroll and personal tax work where required. Tell us about changes to your contracts or payment arrangements so their accounting implications can be considered.

Contractor accounting services

Keep business and personal tax connected

A company return does not replace a personal tax return where one is needed. Share details of employment income, dividends, rent or other relevant income when discussing your personal reporting.

Freelancers can also ask for a single Self Assessment return or ongoing help with their records, depending on what they need.

Freelancer accounting support

Landlord accounts and personal tax returns

Managing a rental property does not always mean having all the tax records in one place. We help bring rent schedules, agent statements and property costs together, taking account of how the property is owned.

If you also run a business or have employment income, we can consider the relevant information together for Self Assessment. Tell us about purchases, sales or changes in use so we can identify work beyond the annual return.

Landlord accounting services

A practical start to your tax return

Tell us which tax year needs attention, the income sources involved and whether HMRC has written to you. We will explain the documents and authorisation needed to act for you.

We review relevant expenses and allowances and explain the calculation before you approve submission. If anything is overdue, share the deadline at the outset.
