We use Xero which is one of the most popular cloud accounting packages and are a platinum accredited partner of Xero.

One of the reasons many new businesses sacrifice such a significant amount of time and productivity, rather than hiring a startup accountant, is that they may believe (especially in the early days) that they don’t have any other option.
The cost (or at least the perceived cost) of retaining an experienced, dedicated online small business accountant may seem prohibitive until a startup has established a solid customer base and is posting strong, reliable revenue figures.
Rather than paying with time, cash-poor startups should consider turning to an online accountant.
Some online accountants may just provide general bookkeeping services, so you can record your income and expenses and then you would need to pay for any bolt-ons such as help with filing, financial forecasts or business plans. Bookkeeping on Xero is particularly efficient and enables most of our SME clients to save time and improve the reliability and accessibility of their financial data.
An online accountant will often provide you with software such as Xero to input your own invoices and manage your own expenses, but there is plenty of added value you should be seeking beyond that.
It is important to have a qualified accountant who can make sure you are itemising income and expenses correctly and keeping enough aside for tax.
You need to have someone who can make sure you are on the right track in terms of the income you want and strategy of the business, while also helping reduce your tax bill.

We offer self assessment for sole traders and for Ltd companies we do statutory accounts and corporation tax. We also offer VAT, payroll, bookkeeping, financial forecasting, business plans and company secretarial services amongst other things meaning we can tailor a package to give you exactly what you need.
Our fees are agreed upfront and include unlimited access to the accounts and tax teams for technical questions and your own commercial manager for commercial assistance.
