Twelve years of dealing with HMRC
Since 2014 we have acted for clients in their dealings with HMRC, on routine returns and on the more difficult matters set out below.
HMRC enquiries and investigations
From an initial letter to a full investigation, we review what HMRC is asking for and correspond with HMRC on your behalf, supported by the correct figures and documents.
Penalties and appeals
Where a penalty appears to be wrong, or you had a reasonable excuse, we review the position and submit an appeal where there are grounds to do so.
Late and missing returns
Where returns have fallen several years behind, we prepare the outstanding returns and deal with HMRC on the penalties and interest that have built up.
Putting past mistakes right
Where income such as rent has been left out of earlier returns, we help you make a disclosure to HMRC and settle the tax due.
Paying HMRC in instalments
If a tax bill cannot be paid in full, we explain the options, help you work out an affordable proposal and support you when you apply to HMRC for a payment plan (Time to Pay).
Complex cases
We act for clients with several sources of income, a growing property portfolio or overseas income, and for companies whose affairs need to be looked at together with those of their directors, working through the detail and explaining the position in plain terms.
Who we work with
Most of our clients are based in Newcastle, Gateshead, North and South Tyneside, Sunderland, Northumberland and County Durham, and we also act for clients elsewhere in the UK.
Sole traders and freelancers
We help with Self Assessment, bookkeeping, VAT and Making Tax Digital.
Limited companies
We prepare year-end accounts and Corporation Tax returns, run payroll, and advise directors on the mix of salary and dividends.
Landlords
Whether you let one property or several, we prepare your rental accounts and tax returns and deal with Capital Gains Tax when you sell.

Questions
How much does an accountant cost?
It depends on the type of business, how many transactions you have, and whether you need VAT, payroll or bookkeeping. After a free consultation we give you a fixed fee in writing, so you know the cost before we start.
Does Making Tax Digital apply to me?
It applies to sole traders and landlords whose combined income from self-employment and property is over £50,000 from April 2026, over £30,000 from April 2027 and over £20,000 from April 2028. We can check where you stand and get you set up.
Which accounting software do you work with?
Xero, QuickBooks Online, FreeAgent and Sage Accounting. If you are still using spreadsheets, we can help you choose the right software and set it up.
Can I switch accountant part-way through the year?
Yes. With your permission we contact your current accountant for professional clearance and your records, so nothing is missed.
Do I need to come to an office?
No. Most work can be done by phone, video call and email. If you would like to meet, we can arrange a meeting in our Newcastle office.
What do I need to get started?
Some ID for a quick online identity check, which anti-money laundering rules require, and your last tax return or accounts if you have them. We will let you know what else would be helpful.
I have had a letter from HMRC. Can you help?
Yes. Send us a copy and we will explain what it means and what needs to happen next.
