NDCA are chartered accountants who support growing businesses and individuals with a wide range of accounting services across Sussex.
NDCA is an ACCA-regulated, remote-first accountancy practice built for growing businesses. We work with clients across the UK on a fixed monthly fee — bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, management accounts, self assessment and year-end, all through Xero. Sussex clients get a proper accountant without the overheads of a high-street practice.

Why Businesses Choose NDCA
NDCA works with business owners who want more than year-end accounts. We combine proactive advice, cloud accounting and fixed monthly pricing to help you stay in control of your finances and make confident decisions.
What growing businesses in Sussex need from an accountant
Sole traders and the newly self-employed need someone to get the basics right from day one: registering with HMRC, understanding what can be claimed as an expense, and knowing what to set aside for tax.
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.
Landlords and property investors have their own rules — mortgage interest relief, allowable expenses and the tax position when a portfolio grows past one or two properties. Getting this wrong is expensive; getting it right is straightforward with the right advice.
Whatever stage your business is at, the right accountant should be answering questions before they become problems, not just filing a return once a year.
Why Sussex businesses choose a remote-first accountant
Being remote-first isn’t a compromise, it’s the model. You get a named accountant who responds by email or phone, usually within one working day, instead of waiting on a call centre or an overstretched local practice.
NDCA selects clients on fit, not location. That means senior attention on your account whether you’re a sole trader just starting out or a limited company with a growing team, not a junior handling everything while a partner signs it off once a year.
The services Sussex clients use most
- Bookkeeping — clean, up-to-date records with your bank feeds and receipts flowing into Xero automatically.
- Management accounts — monthly or quarterly numbers that make sense, for businesses that want more than once-a-year reporting.
- Self assessment — for sole traders, directors and landlords, filed early so January is never a scramble.
- VAT returns — registered and filed on time under Making Tax Digital, with the right scheme for your turnover.
- Corporation tax — CT600 preparation with every relief and allowance you're entitled to reviewed before filing.
- Payroll — RTI, pensions and payslips sorted every month, whether you employ one person or twenty.
Sole traders moving to a limited company, landlords expanding a portfolio, or established companies taking on their first employees — we help you make the switch at the right time, not too early and not too late.
How NDCA works
Fixed monthly fee
One price agreed at the start covers everything in scope. No hourly billing, no charge for picking up the phone.
A real human, fast
A named accountant who knows your business answers your questions, usually within one working day. No call centre, no ticket queue.
Built around your business
Whether you're a sole trader, a growing limited company or a landlord with a few properties, we build the service around what you actually need.
Xero, wherever you are
Xero is the only platform we run. Bank feeds, Stripe and payment data flow in automatically, your records stay reconciled, and VAT files direct to HMRC under Making Tax Digital. We use Apron for invoice and receipt capture, so costs land in the right period without anyone keeping a shoebox. If you are not on Xero yet, we migrate you as part of onboarding — Xero training is available if your team wants to get more from it.
Switching from a Sussex accountant
Most clients come to us because their existing accountant is slow to respond, still working from spreadsheets, or has grown too big to give them proper attention. Moving to NDCA is simple: we handle the handover with your previous accountant, register with HMRC as your new agent, and get you set up on Xero. Most switches complete within two to three weeks.
