More about how we help
Why Brentwood businesses work with us
Brentwood has one of the highest concentrations of small limited companies in Essex — director-led consultancies, trades businesses, retailers along the High Street and a growing number of online sellers operating from home. The town's commuter links into Liverpool Street (and now the Elizabeth line) mean a lot of our clients run a London-facing business from a Brentwood base, which brings its own quirks around expenses, home-office claims and travel costs.
Most of our Brentwood clients came to us after being passed around junior staff at a larger firm, or left chasing emails at a cheap online provider. We answer the phone, we know your business, and we don't bill you every time you ask a question. Year-end accounts, corporation tax, VAT, payroll and self assessment all under one roof — with a fixed monthly fee so there are no surprises.

Industries we work with in Brentwood
Fixed monthly fees, quoted up front
We don't bill by the hour and we don't send surprise invoices for phone calls. Every Brentwood client is on a fixed monthly fee agreed before any work starts, covering the services you actually need — year-end accounts, corporation tax, VAT, payroll, self assessment and advice through the year. Business plans start at £75 + VAT a month.
How switching to In Front Accounting works
- A free initial call. We look at where you are now, what's included today and what you actually need, then quote a fixed monthly fee.
- You tell your current accountant. A short email is enough — we write for professional clearance and your records.
- We set everything up. ID checks, HMRC authorisations, Xero or FreeAgent, and access to your client portal.
- You're live. Most clients are fully onboarded within about two weeks, and there's no fee for the handover.

How does switching accountant work?
You tell your current accountant you're moving, we write for professional clearance and your records, and we set up your software and portal access. There's no fee for the handover and most clients are fully onboarded within about two weeks.
Do you work with small businesses as well as limited companies?
Yes. We act for limited companies, sole traders, partnerships and landlords. If you're a smaller Brentwood business weighing up whether you need an accountant yet, our small business accountants page covers what's included and what it costs.
Can you handle VAT, payroll and bookkeeping too?
Yes — VAT returns under Making Tax Digital, payroll with auto-enrolment pensions and CIS, and bookkeeping on Xero or FreeAgent can all be included in your monthly fee, or you can keep the bookkeeping in-house and we'll review it.
Are you qualified?
Yes. We're ACCA-qualified, and we're a Xero Silver Partner and a FreeAgent partner firm.
