Small & Mid Size Business Accountant
Running an SME is demanding. Between customers, cash flow, staff and compliance, it is easy for the numbers to slip into the background until they become a problem. APJ Accountancy works as your small and mid-size business accountant so you get more than a year-end pack — you get clear, commercially useful advice throughout the year.
We look after the compliance that must be done, and then go further: helping you understand profit, tax, and the decisions that actually grow the business.
Ask yourself honestly:
- Do you know, at any point in the year, how profitable the business really is?
- Are you paying more tax than you need to because planning happens too late?
- Is bookkeeping a burden that eats into evenings and weekends?
- Would you like an accountant who explains the figures in plain English and then helps you act on them?
If any of those feel familiar, you are not getting full value from your accountant. Here is how we help SME owners:
- Powerful financial analysis — management information that shows what is working and what is not.
- Tax planning in good time — so you keep more of what you earn, legally and confidently.
- Accounts, bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and corporation tax handled accurately and on time.
- Strategy, not just history — we help you look forward, not only backwards at last year’s numbers.
- A relationship you can rely on — you speak to people who know your business, not a call-centre queue.

Contractor Accountant

IR35 can change how you work, how you invoice and how much you keep. We help contractors and small companies understand status, documentation and the tax consequences — without the jargon that makes the rules feel impossible.
- Help reviewing contracts and working practices in outline

- Payroll, PAYE and company tax when status changes
- Ongoing support as legislation and client rules evolve

- Bank, sales and purchase ledgers kept up to date
- Cloud software support (including Making Tax Digital)
- Regular reports so you can see cash and profit
- A tidy year-end with fewer last-minute surprises

- Making Tax Digital compatible processes
- Preparation and submission of returns
- Queries, partial exemption and corrections when needed
