Who we help
What Haywards Heath businesses need from their accountant
Limited companies in Haywards Heath need more than a set of accounts at year-end. Payroll, VAT, corporation tax and management accounts all have their own timetable, and a named accountant keeps each one moving.
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, but getting it right is straightforward with the right advice.
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 Haywards Heath businesses choose a remote-first accountant
Being remote-first is not a trade-off, it is how we stay senior. You get 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.
We take on clients where we are a good fit, wherever they are based. That means a senior accountant on your file, whether you are a consultant weighing up IR35 or a director planning dividends, rather than a junior preparing everything for a partner to sign once a year.
The services Haywards Heath 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.
- Self assessment: personal tax returns for sole traders, directors and landlords, prepared well before the January deadline.
- VAT returns: registration, scheme choice and quarterly Making Tax Digital filing, explained in plain English.
- Corporation tax: CT600 returns prepared and filed with the reliefs and allowances relevant to you checked first.
- Payroll: staff paid correctly and on time, with RTI, pensions and payslips taken care of each month.
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
One price agreed at the start covers everything in scope. No hourly billing, no charge for picking up the phone.
Direct answers from your accountant
Your accountant knows your business and your numbers, normally replies the same day and works from figures that are current, not a year old.
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
- Bank feeds: transactions and payment data from your accounts and Stripe flow in automatically, with VAT filed direct to HMRC under Making Tax Digital.
- Invoice capture: we use Apron to capture invoices and receipts, so costs land in the right period without anyone keeping a shoebox.
- Mobile app: check your numbers, approve payments and capture a receipt from your phone, wherever you are.
- Real-time figures: your Xero file is live for both of us, not something that only gets touched once a year.
If you are not on Xero yet, we migrate you as part of onboarding.
Switching from a Haywards Heath 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.
