How it works
You send us the scope.
Tell us the volume, the software and what you need back. We tell you which pricing model fits and what it would cost.
We sign the Data Processing Agreement.
A GDPR-aligned DPA is signed before any file moves.
A named CA starts inside your software.
They work on your files, to your chart of accounts and your templates. On the dedicated model it is the same person every week.
A second qualified CA reviews the work.
Every file is reviewed internally before it leaves us. Weekly timesheets show what was done, the time spent and who did it.
You review and sign off.
Nothing goes to HMRC or Companies House without your instruction.
Who does the work
Every file is prepared by a qualified Indian Chartered Accountant, a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), and reviewed by a second qualified CA before it leaves us. It is an Indian qualification, separate from the UK ACA and ACCA, and we don't present it as one. Our team works in UK GAAP, MTD and HMRC processes every day.
We work inside your existing practice software and to your filing calendar.
You decide the submission route
We can file with Companies House on your instruction, or prepare the filing and hand it back for you to submit. Nothing goes to Companies House without your instruction. For accounting firms the work is white-label, and we do not contact your clients.
More on how the arrangement works for practices is on the For Accounting Firms page.
Talk to a qualified CA, not a sales team.
Tell us how many companies you look after and what needs doing. We will tell you what it would cost.
