Why us

The difference a dedicated accountant makes

Investor-ready from day one

We set up your share structure and bookkeeping to meet the rigorous standards of early-stage investors. This ensures your financial records are clean and compliant when applying for SEIS or EIS advance assurance.

Proactive tax efficiency

We help you identify qualifying innovative work under the merged R&D tax relief scheme. Our team ensures you claim the correct credits to support your early cash flow.

Seamless digital compliance

We handle your Companies House and HMRC registrations, including navigating the 2026 digital incorporation rules. This keeps your startup fully compliant without distracting you from building your business.

Consistent fixed pricing

Our service is delivered for a single, transparent monthly fee with no hidden setup costs. You get unlimited access to your named accountant and free FreeAgent software, making your runway predictable.

DIY vs done-for-you

Going it alone vs having us in your corner

You can absolutely do your own books. Here's what actually changes when a dedicated accountant takes it off your plate.

Doing it yourself

Accounting software

Pay for FreeAgent yourself — that's £100s a year on top.

Tax savings

Easy to miss allowable expenses, reliefs and allowances.

Your time

Evenings lost to receipts, spreadsheets and HMRC admin.

Knowledge & deadlines

MTD, National Insurance and filing dates — costly to get wrong.

With Workwell

Accounting software

FreeAgent included free, set up and ready to go.

Tax savings

Proactive planning to claim every allowance — often saving more than we cost.

Your time

We handle the books and filing, so you get your evenings back.

Knowledge & deadlines

A named accountant keeps you compliant and filed on time, every time.

The bottom line

Free software, more tax saved and your time back — for just £104.50/mo.

Most clients save more in tax and software than they pay us. Switching takes minutes.

This is a great firm to help with all accounting needs. They helped me set up my company & bank account really easily when I started my business years ago & they've been a great support on all sorts of questions since. The friendly staff are very approachable & always respond quickly to calls & emails. Thanks in particular to Letitia & her team.
