Accountants in Bicester for growing businesses
NDCA is an ACCA-regulated accountancy practice that supports growing businesses and individuals with a wide range of accounting services in Bicester.
Bicester’s economy is anchored by two very different draws: Bicester Village, which brings millions of visitors a year to its designer outlet, and Bicester Motion, a former RAF airfield now home to a cluster of automotive and aviation businesses. 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
Year-end accounts alone do not show what is happening in the business right now. NDCA pairs proactive advice with cloud accounting and a fixed monthly fee, so you always have a live view of your numbers and can make decisions with confidence.

Who we help
What growing businesses need from accountants in Bicester
A business can be a sole trader or a limited company. It is privately owned, and if it is a limited company with fewer than 50 employees it may be eligible for certain reliefs, grants and simplified reporting. If you are not sure which structure suits you, or whether it is time to move from sole trader to limited company, we can talk it through and explain what actually changes.
Why Bicester businesses 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.
What we do for businesses in Bicester
- Bookkeeping: your records kept accurate and up to date by your named accountant, so nothing is a scramble at year-end.
- Management accounts: monthly or quarterly numbers that make sense, for businesses that want more than once-a-year reporting.
- Corporation tax: your CT600 filed on time, after a review of the reliefs and allowances you qualify for.
- Cash flow and budgeting: a simple forecast so you know what is coming in and going out, reviewed against what actually happens.
- Payroll: payslips, RTI submissions and pension contributions run every month, for one employee or a team of twenty.
- VAT returns: filed on time through Making Tax Digital, with advice on which VAT scheme suits 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
You deal with the same accountant every time, normally get an answer the same day and see the same up-to-date Xero numbers we do.
Built around your business
Whether you are a sole trader, a growing limited company or a landlord with a few properties, we build the service around what you actually need.
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 Bicester accountant
If your current firm is slow to reply, still bills by the hour or you have simply outgrown a one-person setup, switching is simpler than it feels. We send a professional clearance letter, collect the records and pick up where they left off. 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.
