Services
Everything your books need, under one roof
From day-to-day bookkeeping to year-end accounts, we cover the full cycle so nothing falls between two advisers.
Bookkeeping
Weekly or monthly reconciliation of your accounts, kept tidy and audit-ready all year round.
Self-assessment tax returns
Your return prepared, checked and filed with HMRC before the deadline, with your bill explained in plain English.
Limited company accounts
Statutory accounts and Corporation Tax returns filed with Companies House and HMRC, on time, every time.
VAT returns
Quarterly VAT prepared and submitted under Making Tax Digital, with the right scheme chosen for your business.
Payroll & pensions
Payslips, PAYE submissions and auto-enrolment handled monthly, however many people are on your team.
Business advisory
Cash flow forecasts, tax planning and growth advice from an accountant who already knows your numbers.
Why Positive Accounts
Accounting, without the jargon
One accountant, not a rota
You get a named accountant who knows your business, not a different voice every time you call.
Fixed monthly fees
No surprise invoices. You know exactly what you're paying before any work starts.
Deadlines, handled early
We file ahead of HMRC and Companies House deadlines, not on the morning they're due.
Client reviews
What clients say about working with us
Switched from a high-street firm and wish I'd done it years ago. Everything is explained clearly and my VAT has never been late since.
Rachel Combes — Café owner, Bristol
As a contractor my income is all over the place month to month. Positive Accounts keeps my tax set-aside on track without me having to think about it.
Daniel Osei — IT contractor, Manchester
The fixed fee was a big relief after years of unpredictable bills elsewhere. My accountant actually picks up the phone.
Louise Fairbank — Salon owner, Leeds
They caught an error from our previous bookkeeper that would have cost us thousands in overpaid VAT. Worth every penny.
Priya Nair — Director, retail supplier
Very responsive and thorough. Only reason it's not five stars is the client portal could be a bit more intuitive.
Michael Turnbull — Landlord, Newcastle
First time filing a company return and they walked me through every step without making me feel silly for asking questions.
Aisha Bello — Founder, e-commerce brand
Payroll for our nine-person team runs itself now. Auto-enrolment used to be a nightmare before we moved to Positive Accounts.
Graham Foster — Operations manager, joinery firm
Honest advice, even when it meant telling us to hold off on a purchase we were keen on. That kind of straight talk is rare.
Sonia Whitworth — Co-founder, design studio
Our previous accountant filed everything at the last minute every year. Positive Accounts has us done a month early, without fail.
Robert Adeyemi — Builder, self-employed
Moved my self-assessment over after years of doing it myself. Found allowances I didn't know I could claim.
Ellie Marsh — Freelance illustrator
Clear monthly management accounts finally let me see where the money actually goes. Changed how I run the business.
Tom Radcliffe — Owner, coffee roastery
Good value and reliable. Would like slightly faster turnaround on ad-hoc questions, but the core service is excellent.
Hannah Dziedzic — Consultant
Set up my limited company from scratch with them and they made incorporation painless. Still with them three years on.
James Okafor — Director, marketing agency
Dealing with HMRC on our behalf during an enquiry took so much stress off us. They handled every letter.
Fiona Mackay — Restaurant owner, Edinburgh
Straightforward pricing, no jargon, and they reply to emails the same day. Exactly what a small business needs.
Callum Reid — Plumber, self-employed
We switched three practices before finding Positive Accounts. The difference in communication is night and day.
Natasha Pearce — Co-owner, events company
They helped me choose between staying a sole trader and incorporating, with real numbers rather than generic advice.
Aiden Doyle — Personal trainer
Quarterly check-ins keep me on top of tax bills instead of getting a shock every January.
Grace Lindqvist — Photographer
Solid, dependable service for our small charity's accounts. Reporting could be a touch more visual, but the numbers are always right.
Martin Okonkwo — Treasurer, local charity
Best decision we made in our first year of trading. Corporation tax planning alone saved us more than the annual fee.
Beth Harrington — Co-founder, product studio
My accountant flagged a late-filing penalty risk two weeks ahead of time and sorted it before it became a problem.
Wasim Iqbal — Import/export trader
Friendly, patient, and genuinely good at explaining things without talking down to you. Recommended them to two other landlords already.
Susan Kilbride — Landlord, Cardiff
Handled our transition from a spreadsheet to proper cloud bookkeeping software without any disruption to the business.
Owen Vaughan — Owner, garden landscaping firm
