WHAT I DO

What I handle on your behalf

Whether you are a sole trader in Lanark just starting out or a limited company looking for reliable monthly support, I cover the full range of accounting and tax work.

01

Self Assessment Tax Returns

I handle your self assessment from start to finish, making sure every allowable expense is claimed and your return is filed on time. You do not need to know the rules inside out. That is my job.

Sole traders and landlords

Year-End Accounts and Corporation Tax

I prepare your year-end accounts and corporation tax return, keeping your bill as low as the law allows. Everything is explained in plain English before it is filed, so you always know where you stand.

Limited companies

Bookkeeping and VAT Returns

I take care of your day-to-day records, bank reconciliation and quarterly VAT submissions. Keeping your books in order means no last-minute panics and no guesswork when decisions need to be made.

Ongoing monthly support
WHY IT WORKS

Why clients come back every year

There are a lot of accounting firms out there, but most of them will hand you off to someone junior the moment you sign up.

You always deal with David directly

Every email, every call, every question goes to me personally. There are no juniors, no call centres, and no account managers you have never met. If you have a question, I answer it.

Fixed prices with no surprises

You get a fixed price quote before any work begins. It does not change unless your circumstances change significantly. Clients in Lanark and across South Lanarkshire know exactly what they are paying from day one.

Real business experience behind the advice

I spent over 25 years running and working in businesses before qualifying as an accountant. That means the advice I give is grounded in how businesses actually operate, not just what the textbooks say.

Once you are on board, I handle your accounts, tax returns, or bookkeeping. I will ask you for the information I need and take care of the rest.

Stay in the loop without the stress

I keep you informed at every stage and respond to questions the same day. Deadlines are tracked and nothing gets missed.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Common questions

No. I work fully remotely with clients across Scotland and the UK. Many of my clients are in Lanark and the surrounding South Lanarkshire area, but location has no bearing on the quality of the service you receive. Everything is handled online or by phone.
Sole trader packages start from £150 per month plus VAT, which covers bookkeeping, VAT returns, year-end accounts, and your personal self assessment. You get a fixed price quote before anything starts, so there are no unexpected bills.
It happens more often than you might think. I can help you get up to date with overdue returns and deal with HMRC on your behalf. The first step is a call to understand what needs sorting and in what order.
You will always deal with me directly. There are no juniors, no account managers, and no call centres. When you message or call, it is me who picks it up and responds, usually the same day.
