A Local Brentwood Accountant for Your Tax Return
We're based in Brentwood and look after Self Assessment clients across Essex — from local tradespeople in Hutton and Ingatestone, to landlords in Shenfield, to directors of limited companies across Chelmsford, Billericay and Romford.
Being local matters. We know the typical income profiles of Essex business owners, the rental market quirks around the M25 commuter belt, and we're happy to meet in person if that's easier than email and video calls.

Common Questions
Do I need a local accountant in Brentwood to file my Self Assessment?
No — Self Assessment is filed online with HMRC, so your accountant can be based anywhere. That said, many Brentwood and Essex clients prefer using a local firm they can meet face-to-face, drop paperwork into, and trust to understand the local business environment.
When is the Self Assessment deadline?
Online tax returns are due by 31 January following the end of the tax year (5 April). Paper returns must be filed by 31 October. Any tax owed is also due by 31 January, with a payment on account due 31 July.
How much does Self Assessment cost in Brentwood?
Fees vary depending on complexity, but for most individuals — PAYE earners with rental income, sole traders, directors, or those with side income — our Brentwood Self Assessment service starts from a fixed fee. We always quote upfront before any work begins.
What do I need to give my accountant for Self Assessment?
Typically your P60, any P11D, P45s, rental income and expense records, sole trader income/expenses, dividend vouchers, bank interest, pension contributions, gift aid donations, and your UTR. We'll send a clear checklist before we start.
