Owner-managed companies
Small limited companies
Accounts, the Company Tax Return and everyday bookkeeping, payroll and VAT if you want it all in one place.
Who we look after.
Small businesses and the people who run them. The work changes depending on which of these you are.
GS Associates in Uttoxeter works with small owner-managed limited companies, sole traders and the self-employed, CIS subcontractors and trades, landlords, and people starting a business. The services overlap, but what matters and what you are responsible for does not, so each has its own page explaining the work, the deadlines and how we agree the fee.

If none of them fit
More than one,
or none of the above.
Plenty of people are two of these at once: a director who also lets a property, or a sole trader thinking about a company. That is normal and it does not mean two sets of fees. Tell us how the income actually arrives and we'll work out what you need.

Before you get in touch
Your questions,
answered.
What if I'm more than one of these?
Common, and it does not mean two sets of fees. A director who also lets a property, or a sole trader with a bit of CIS work, is one client with one fee covering the work that is actually needed. Tell us how the income arrives and we will scope it once.
I'm not based in Uttoxeter. Does that matter?
No. Most of the work happens through your software, email and the phone, and we already act for businesses across Staffordshire and south Derbyshire, as well as remotely elsewhere in the UK. You are welcome at the office by appointment if you would rather meet.
Am I too small to bother you with?
No, and it is the question we are asked most. A first tax return or a single-director company is normal work here, not an inconvenience, and it is quoted on the time it genuinely takes rather than a minimum fee.
What if I'm behind with everything?
Then say so at the start. People arrive with returns outstanding and no Government Gateway login, and the first job is working out exactly where things stand before anything else. It is a great deal easier to deal with early than late.

A short conversation is usually enough to work out what would help and what it would cost. The first one is free.
