Accountants in Didcot for growing businesses
NDCA is an ACCA-regulated accountancy practice that supports growing businesses and individuals with a wide range of accounting services across Didcot.
Didcot sits alongside the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, home to hundreds of organisations and thousands of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs working across space, life sciences, health technology and energy. The Didcot Garden Town growth plan expects significant job growth across the wider Science Vale area over the coming decades. NDCA is a fixed-fee practice built for that mix, run through Xero, with one accountant instead of a rotating team.

Why businesses choose NDCA
NDCA gives you more than a year-end filing. You get monthly figures you can rely on, advice before deadlines rather than after them and one fixed fee that stays the same when you pick up the phone.
Who we help
What Didcot businesses need from their accountant
The structure you trade through affects how you are taxed, what you file and how much admin you carry. Sole traders keep things simple, while limited companies with fewer than 50 employees may qualify for small company reliefs and lighter reporting. We look at your profits and plans before recommending either.
Why growing businesses in Didcot choose a remote-first accountant
NDCA is remote first, so there is no town-centre office cost built into your fee. We work with sole traders, limited companies and landlords across the UK, selecting clients by what they need rather than by postcode.
The working pattern is the one your business already uses: video calls, shared documents, live data. Your Xero file is open to both of us all the time, questions get answered by a named accountant, normally the same day, and you do not pay for anyone’s office along the way.
The services Didcot clients use most
- Bookkeeping: your Xero file reconciled and kept current throughout the year.
- Management accounts: monthly or quarterly reports that show how the business is performing between year-ends.
- Corporation tax: CT600 returns prepared and filed with the reliefs and allowances relevant to you checked first.
- Cash flow and budgeting: a forecast of money in and out, checked against actual results each month.
- Payroll: staff paid correctly and on time, with RTI, pensions and payslips taken care of each month.
- VAT returns: registered and filed on time under Making Tax Digital, with the right scheme for your turnover.
Sole traders, limited companies and landlords all use the same core service: annual accounts, self assessment and everything between, on one fixed fee.
How NDCA works
Fixed monthly fee
One price for the agreed scope, however often you call. Budget-holders and boards like that. So do founders watching burn.
Direct answers from your accountant
One named accountant handles your file and normally replies the same day, working from live Xero figures rather than a once-a-year catch-up.
Built around your business
We shape the service around your business, whether that is a Harwell start-up claiming R&D relief, a contractor working on Science Vale projects or a landlord with a few properties.
Cloud accounting with Xero
- Automatic bank feeds: no manual uploads, and VAT filed digitally with HMRC.
- Invoice and receipt capture: Apron collects supplier bills and receipts so each cost is recorded when it happens.
- Mobile access: check figures and approve payments on the Xero app, in the office or on the move.
- Numbers that stay current: your file is updated through the year, not once at the end of it.
Moving from QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent or spreadsheets is part of onboarding, so you start on Xero with clean opening balances.
Switching from a Didcot accountant
Changing accountant follows a set routine. We contact your current firm for professional clearance, take over as your HMRC agent and move your records into Xero. 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.
