Small Business Accountants

Vexo Accounting is a team of small business accountants working with businesses across the UK, wherever you are based. If you are looking for an accountant for small business needs, from day-to-day bookkeeping through to your tax return, our small business accounting services are built around how your business actually runs. We look after bookkeeping, payroll, self assessment tax returns, Corporation Tax and more, so you can spend less time on admin and more time on the business you actually enjoy.

There are 5.7 million small and medium-sized businesses trading in the country, and they make up 99.9% of every business out there. That is a lot of company, but no two small businesses run their finances the same way. We built our accounting services around that fact, so small business owners get a proper accountant instead of someone who files a return once a year and disappears.

Why Small Businesses Choose Us As Their Dedicated Accountant

As small business accountants, we know most business owners do not want a stranger doing their books once a year. They want their own dedicated accountant who knows their business, answers the phone, and gives advice before a problem shows up, not after.

That is the personal service we offer. You get a dedicated accountant who learns your business, not a call centre that reads your file back to you. Our qualified accountants and friendly team treat every client like they matter, because they do, and clients tell us that is the main reason they stay.

A good accountant relationship saves you money over time. We spot tax relief you are missing, flag tax efficiency opportunities, and help you understand what your numbers actually mean for the business. Small businesses that get this kind of personal advice early tend to make better decisions later, and it gives owners real confidence in their own numbers.

We also believe in a flexible service. Some clients want us to manage everything. Others just want access to good advice when they need it, and a firm they can contact without booking an appointment three weeks out.

Small businesses trust our accountants with more than compliance, and small businesses across many industries now rely on our services every single month.

We Are Accountants For Small Businesses Who Want More Than Compliance

We Are Accountants For Small Businesses Who Want More Than Compliance

Plenty of accountants for small businesses only turn up at deadline time. We would rather be the accounting team you call in June because something changed, not just the team you email in January because a return is due.

Our accounting services cover the day-to-day and the bigger decisions too. Small businesses come to us for bookkeeping and admin, and stay because our accountants also help with pricing, hiring, and planning for growth. That is the difference between accounting services that just process numbers and accounting services that actually help you use them.

We built our services this way because most small businesses do not want to pay for services they never touch. Some small businesses want a fully managed accounting service.

Other small businesses want lighter-touch accounting services and access to advice when something specific comes up. Either way, our accountants are there, and our accountancy services flex around how your small business actually operates.

Accounting Support Built Around Your Small Business

Let Vexo Accounting take care of your bookkeeping, payroll, tax returns, VAT and ongoing accounting support, with a dedicated accountant who understands your business and helps you stay in control of your finances.

What Our Small Business Accounting Services Include

Small business accounting is not one job. It is a handful of jobs that all need doing properly and on time. Here is what our accountancy services cover for small businesses across the country.

Some small businesses want every one of these services under one roof. Others prefer to add services one at a time as the business grows.

Either way, our services are priced clearly upfront, and you only pay for the services you actually use across the full range we offer. Our accountants check in on these services regularly, and our accounting stays consistent as your services list grows.

Bookkeeping, Payroll and Day-to-Day Financial Support

Clean bookkeeping is the base everything else sits on. We keep your books up to date, reconcile your bank feeds, and run payroll on time so your team and HMRC both get paid correctly. Messy bookkeeping causes most of the tax return stress we see in small businesses, so our accounting team fixes that first.

Good bookkeeping also gives you a clearer picture of your expenses. When you can see where the money goes each month, cutting costs and improving margin becomes a lot easier, and clear books save time when tax season comes round.

Tax Returns, Corporation Tax and Annual Accounts

If you are a sole trader, we handle your self assessment tax returns from start to finish. If you run a limited company, we prepare your annual accounts and Corporation Tax return and file them with Companies House and HMRC before the deadline, not the week after. Either way, your tax affairs stay in order all year, not just at deadline time, and you always have a clear answer when a client or lender asks about your finances.

Business Structure, Company Formation and VAT

Choosing the right business structure changes how much tax you pay and how protected you are personally. Our small business accountants help new business owners weigh up sole trader against limited company, handle company formation, and manage VAT registration once your business gets close to the threshold. As your business grows, we adjust your setup so you are not paying more than you need to, which can save you real money over the years.

How Much Does Small Business Accounting Cost in the UK

How Much Does Small Business Accounting Cost in the UK?

Sole traders with straightforward affairs typically cost somewhere between £75 and £200 a month. Limited companies with payroll, VAT and more involved reporting usually sit between £200 and £450 a month, with annual packages for limited company accounts and Corporation Tax often landing between £750 and £2,500 a year.

Those figures are a rough guide based on recent projects, and the actual cost for your business varies depending on your turnover, whether you are VAT registered, and how many transactions you have each month. We will give you an honest, cost-effective number after a quick chat about your business, not a guess pulled from a price list.

Making Tax Digital Is Already Changing How Small Businesses Keep Records

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax started affecting the first group of taxpayers in April 2026, and HMRC estimates around 864,000 people fall into that first phase. The threshold then drops from £50,000 to £30,000 in April 2027, and down to £20,000 in April 2028, which pulls a lot more small business owners and self-employed people into digital reporting over the next couple of years.

Digital record keeping and quarterly reporting sound like extra effort, and to be fair, they are. That is exactly why having an accountancy team already set up on cloud accounting software puts your business ahead instead of scrambling every quarter. Our small business accountants can move you across with very little disruption to how you already work.

How We Help You Reduce Risk and Keep More of What You Earn

How We Help You Reduce Risk and Keep More of What You Earn

HMRC estimates the Self Assessment business gap at £9.8 billion and the small business Corporation Tax gap at £17.3 billion for 2024 to 2025 alone, out of a total tax gap of £59.2 billion. Most of that is not fraud. It is honest mistakes, missed deadlines, and businesses not claiming what they are entitled to.

Our accountants carry professional indemnity insurance and stay on top of changing rules so you do not have to. We manage compliance, handle your filings, and give you proactive advice on tax efficiency rather than just totting up numbers once a year. Our accountants review your position regularly, not just once a year, and our accountants flag issues before they become expensive.

Well-kept accounts also matter the day your business needs funding. Lenders and investors want to see proper management accounts, and business owners with clean finances get through that process with a lot less effort and a lot more confidence.

Need Help With Your Accounts or Tax?

Our team can provide straightforward advice and tailored support to help you stay organised, compliant and confident about your finances.

The Industries and Business Owners Our Accountants Support

Around 4.5 million people are self-employed, and services now make up roughly 81% of national economic output, so our accountants work with a wide range of small businesses including consultants, agencies, tradespeople, contractors and online sellers.

We support CIS-registered construction businesses, e-commerce sellers reconciling Shopify and Amazon payouts, and contractors working through IR35. Around 317,000 new businesses started trading last year, and a good number of small business owners come to us in their first twelve months, often once they realise spreadsheets only get a growing business so far. Whatever industries you work across, our accountants can advise on the parts specific to your sector, and clients across these industries all get the same level of support.

You stay in control the whole way through, and both you and your new accountant know exactly where things stand at every step. Most clients are fully set up with us within a couple of weeks, with no gap in support and no chasing paperwork yourself.

Our accounting team handles the boring bits, so your business does not miss a beat. Our accountants make sure nothing slips through the gap, and our accountants stay in touch throughout.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the most common questions about our accounting services.

How much does a small business accountant cost in the UK?

Small business accountant costs typically range from £75 to £200 a month for straightforward sole trader affairs and £200 to £450 a month for limited companies with payroll, VAT and more involved reporting. Annual limited company accounts and Corporation Tax packages can often range from £750 to £2,500, depending on the work required.

What do small business accountants do?

Small business accountants handle services such as bookkeeping, payroll, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, annual accounts, VAT, management accounts and cash flow forecasting. They can also provide advice on tax efficiency, pricing, hiring, business structure and growth planning.

What is Making Tax Digital for small businesses?

Making Tax Digital for small businesses requires some sole traders and landlords to keep digital records and send quarterly updates using compatible software. The rules began applying from 6 April 2026 to those with qualifying income over £50,000, with the threshold reducing to over £30,000 from 6 April 2027 and over £20,000 from 6 April 2028.

Should I be a sole trader or set up a limited company?

Choosing between a sole trader and limited company depends on your tax position, profits, personal liability and plans for the business. A small business accountant can compare both structures and help you choose an arrangement that fits your circumstances.

When does a small business need to register for VAT?

A small business needs to register for VAT when its taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in the previous 12 months, or it expects to exceed £90,000 in the next 30 days. Voluntary VAT registration is also possible below the threshold, so an accountant can help you assess whether registration makes sense.

Can I switch to a new small business accountant?

Switching to a new small business accountant can be handled for you, including contacting your existing accountant and requesting your records. Vexo Accounting says most clients are fully set up within a couple of weeks, with no gap in support.
