NDCA is an ACCA-regulated accountancy practice that supports growing businesses and individuals with a wide range of accounting services across Worthing.

Why businesses choose NDCA
A fixed monthly fee, a named accountant and a Xero file we both see at any time. That is how NDCA works, and it means advice arrives while there is still time to act on it.
Who we help
How we support businesses in Worthing
Limited companies need more than annual accounts. Payroll, VAT, corporation tax and management accounts all need to happen on schedule, with a named accountant who answers questions the same week, not the same quarter.
Property income follows its own rules, from the mortgage interest restriction to what counts as an allowable expense and how gains are taxed when you sell. The stakes rise as a portfolio grows, and the right advice early on avoids expensive mistakes.
At any stage of growth, a good accountant raises issues before they turn into problems, rather than filing one return a year and waiting for the next.
Why a remote-first accountant works for Worthing businesses
Working remotely is how we keep experienced accountants on every file, all working from live Xero figures.
Our client list is built on fit rather than postcode. Whether you are a growing limited company or a sole trader about to incorporate, the person answering your questions is the accountant who knows your file.
Services our Worthing clients rely on
- Bookkeeping: your records kept accurate and up to date by your named accountant, so nothing is a scramble at year-end.
- Management accounts: clear monthly or quarterly figures for owners who want more than one set of numbers a year.
- Self assessment: personal tax returns for sole traders, directors and landlords, prepared well before the January deadline.
- VAT returns: registered and filed on time under Making Tax Digital, with the right scheme for your turnover explained in plain English.
- Corporation tax: your CT600 filed on time, after a review of the reliefs and allowances you qualify for.
- Payroll: monthly RTI filings, payslips and auto-enrolment pensions handled for you, however many people you employ.
Moving from sole trader to limited company, adding properties or hiring your first employee are all easier with advice in advance. We help you judge the right moment for each.
How NDCA works
Fixed monthly fee
A fixed fee agreed before we start covers the full scope. Phone calls and emails are included.
Direct answers from your accountant
A named accountant who knows your business and normally responds the same day, backed by real-time numbers in Xero instead of an annual catch-up.
Built around your business
Sole traders, growing companies and landlords each get a scope built around what they need, not a fixed template.
Cloud accounting with Xero
- Live bank feeds: bank and Stripe transactions arrive in Xero every day, and VAT returns go straight to HMRC under Making Tax Digital.
- Receipts through Apron: forward a supplier bill or photograph a receipt and it is captured, coded and matched to the right period.
- Xero on your phone: approve payments, raise invoices and check the bank balance from wherever you are working.
- One shared file: we work from the same live figures you see, all year round.
If you use other software today, we move you across to Xero as part of onboarding.
Switching from a Worthing accountant
Clients usually move to us when replies take a week, bills arrive by the hour or the service stops fitting a growing business. We request the handover, collect the records and carry on from where your previous firm stopped, with every HMRC deadline covered. You can switch at any point in the year. How long it takes depends mainly on how quickly your previous accountant sends the records across, and we keep you updated throughout.
