The headaches we take off your plate.
If any of these feel like your last accountant, you're not alone — these are the exact problems Lancashire business owners come to us to fix.
You only hear from them at year end
No proactive advice, no quarterly check-in — just a tax bill landing with a thud in January.
Surprise bills & hourly invoices
Every call, every email, every question billed in 15-minute increments. We work on fixed monthly fees — full stop.
Stuck on spreadsheets & shoeboxes
Receipts in a carrier bag, VAT returns done in a panic. We move you onto the right cloud software and clean it up properly.
HMRC letters you don't understand
Penalties, payments on account, MTD reminders — we translate, we respond, we deal with it.
No idea what tax you actually owe
We give you a live tax forecast in your portal so you can plan, not panic.
Can never get hold of your accountant
Direct mobile, WhatsApp, email — Francis or your account lead replies the same working day.
Clients
Trusted by Lancashire businesses.
“Francis is the first accountant we've had who actually picks up the phone. Fixed monthly fee, no surprise bills, and our year-end was done weeks ahead of deadline. Honestly a weight off — feels like having a finance director on the team.”
“Running a property business means HMRC keep moving the goalposts. Francis stays ahead of it — explained Making Tax Digital for landlords in plain English and had us set up on the right software in a day. Couldn't recommend the team more.”
