The difference
Compliance Done Properly Not Just Filed on Time
Plenty of firms will file your accounts and send a bill. The problem is what they miss along the way. We keep your records clean all year, flag anything that looks off early, and make sure you never find out about a problem the week it’s due. You get filings that are right first time, deadlines you never have to think about, and numbers you actually understand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Accounts and Compliance
For a limited company we handle your year end accounts, Corporation Tax return, bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and your director’s self assessment. In short, every filing the company and its directors are legally required to make, prepared correctly and submitted on time.
Most small businesses pay a fixed monthly fee based on their size and what they need, rather than a surprise bill at year end. At ATS we agree that fee upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Making Tax Digital is HMRC’s move to digital record keeping and filing. It already applies to VAT registered businesses, and it’s being rolled out to the self employed and landlords next. We make sure you’re on compliant software and filing the right way, so it’s never something you have to worry about.
Missing a deadline usually means an automatic penalty from HMRC or Companies House, plus interest on anything owed. The point of working with us is that this never happens, because we track every date for you and file well ahead of time.
Not with us, because we do both. Your bookkeeping keeps the day to day records accurate, and the accountancy turns those records into your accounts, tax returns and advice. Having them under one roof means nothing gets lost between two people.
Yes, you can switch at any point in the year. We handle the handover with your current accountant and pick up your records wherever they’re up to, so there’s no need to wait for year end.
