Why Ingatestone businesses work with us
Ingatestone has a strong independent High Street, a steady population of professionals commuting into London or Chelmsford, and a healthy mix of trades and rural-facing businesses around Fryerning and Mountnessing. Equestrian, agricultural and small estate clients also come up more often here than elsewhere in our patch.
Local, regulated and senior-led. We won't try to upsell you a package you don't need — most Ingatestone clients are on a simple fixed monthly fee covering accounts, tax, VAT and payroll, with bookkeeping bolted on if they want us to handle it.

Frequently asked questions
Common Questions
Are you actually based near Ingatestone?
Yes. Our office is in Brentwood (CM14 4RR), roughly 4 miles from Ingatestone. About 10 minutes up the A12 from our Brentwood office, or one stop on the train. Most of the day-to-day work runs on Xero or FreeAgent so most clients never need to come in.
What does it cost to switch to you?
Nothing. We handle the handover with your old accountant, transfer your records, and start on a clear fixed monthly fee — no surprise invoices, no hourly billing for phone calls. We'll always quote before any work starts.
Do you only work with limited companies?
No — we work with limited companies, sole traders, partnerships, landlords and individuals on self assessment. Pricing is based on what you actually need rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Are you regulated?
Yes. We're ACCA-qualified, registered with HMRC for anti-money-laundering supervision, and we're a Xero and FreeAgent partner firm.
How quickly can you get me onboarded?
Most clients are fully onboarded within 2 weeks of the first call — ID checks, professional clearance with your previous accountant, software setup and access to our client portal all included.
