Accountants who understand a fuel card, a fleet and a delivery schedule.
Fuel and mileage handled properly, vehicle capital allowances maximised, driver payroll on time, and a real read on profit per route — so you can spend more time on the road and less on the laptop.
Who this is for
Built for operators with one van or a fleet.
From a single Amazon Flex driver to a multi-vehicle haulage firm running across the M25, A12 and beyond — we know the costs, the rules and the cash rhythm.
Sound familiar?
The problems we solve every week.
Transport and logistics don't fit a generic accountant's template. Different costs, different VAT, different status rules.
Fuel cards and mileage all over the place
Three fuel cards, personal card top-ups, and receipts in the glovebox. VAT and tax both get missed.
Owner-driver status under HMRC pressure
Self-employed drivers getting reclassified as employees brings back-dated PAYE, NI and penalties.
Capital allowances on vehicles not maximised
Vans, lorries and electric vehicles all have different relief. Wrong claim = higher tax bill every year.
No clear profit per route or per vehicle
You know the revenue, but not the real margin once fuel, finance and maintenance are stripped out.
Cash flow tight despite full schedule
30-60 day client payment terms while fuel and wages go weekly. The gap kills small operators.
Books always behind the schedule
On the road all week, admin at the weekend. The books slip and tax becomes a yearly shock.
What we do
A finance function built around a fleet.
Self-assessment for owner-drivers
AMAP mileage, vehicle costs, simplified expenses vs full accounts — whichever gives the lower tax bill, filed on time.
Limited company haulage accounts
Year-end accounts, corporation tax, director profit extraction, dividends and salary planned properly.
Fuel card & mileage reconciliation
All fuel cards, AMAP claims, advisory fuel rates and personal use adjustments handled cleanly each month.
Capital allowances on vehicles
First-year allowances on vans and zero-emission vehicles, WDA on cars, claims optimised across the fleet.
Driver payroll, IR35 & status
Employed drivers on PAYE, self-employed owner-drivers documented properly, IR35 reviewed where it bites.
VAT for transport & haulage
Fuel, tolls, foreign expenses, place-of-supply rules for cross-border haulage all dealt with correctly.
Management accounts per vehicle/route
Revenue per vehicle, cost per mile, gross margin per contract — sent monthly with a plain-English summary.
Virtual FD & growth planning
Vehicle finance, expansion, hiring, exit planning — quarterly reviews so the next move is a decision, not a gamble.

What clients say
Real operators, real results.

Common Questions
Can you handle fuel, mileage and vehicle costs properly?
Yes. Fuel card reconciliation, AMAP mileage claims, advisory fuel rates for company vehicles, and capital allowances on vans, lorries and cars all handled. Owner-drivers and company vehicles each treated correctly.
Do you do CIS-style verification for sub-contracted drivers?
CIS doesn't apply to most haulage, but employment status absolutely does. We help you keep self-employed owner-drivers properly self-employed — contracts, control, substitution and HMRC's CEST test all reviewed.
Can you handle Amazon Flex, courier and last-mile self-employed work?
Yes. Self-assessment for self-employed couriers — Amazon Flex, Stuart, DPD, Evri, Hermes, Uber Eats, Deliveroo. AMAP mileage, vehicle costs, simplified expenses vs full accounts — whichever gives the lower tax bill.
What about VAT on fuel, road tolls and international work?
Standard-rated fuel and tolls, Dart Charge, congestion charge, foreign fuel and EU road haulage rules all handled. We make sure VAT is reclaimed where it should be, and not where it shouldn't.
Can you tell me profit per route, per vehicle or per driver?
Yes. Revenue per vehicle, cost per mile, gross margin per route or contract, and driver productivity reporting. The numbers most operators need to decide which work to keep and which to walk away from.
Are you based in Essex? Do you work nationally?
We're in Brentwood, Essex — right on the M25, A12 and Dartford Crossing — and look after transport and logistics operators across Essex, London and the rest of the UK.
