A short list of businesses we know properly.
I work with a handful of business types because that is where I can change the number at the bottom rather than just file the forms. A VAT scheme for an Amazon seller and the salary a solicitor pays herself are different problems, and both need someone who has seen them before. Find the one closest to yours below.

Why the list is short
I know how marketplace payouts behave
An Amazon or Shopify payout is a net figure with fees, refunds and discounts buried inside it. A2X mapped properly to Xero or QuickBooks means your sales, your fees and your VAT all land where they should, every month.
I know which VAT scheme costs you money
One watch seller had around 70 per cent of her sales going overseas and was still on flat rate, paying VAT on all of it. On the standard scheme she pays on the UK share and reclaims her input VAT. That conversation only happens if someone is looking.
SEIS and R&D handled by one person
Advance assurance, R&D claims and patent box are prepared in house by the same qualified person who does your year end, so the claim and the accounts agree. I have been through SEIS advance assurance with my own software company.
I know how directors should pay themselves
Salary and dividend mix, a spouse on the payroll and the employment allowance that single-director companies routinely miss. Simple transactions, real money in personal tax, and the advice given while you can still act on it.
