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 Horsham
Running a limited company brings payroll, VAT, corporation tax and management accounts, each with its own deadlines. We keep them on schedule and answer your 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.
The right accountant answers questions before they become problems, whatever stage the business has reached.
Why Horsham businesses choose a remote-first accountant
Working remotely is how we keep experienced accountants on every file, all working from live Xero figures.
NDCA selects clients on fit, not location. That means senior attention on your account whether you are a limited company with a growing team or a sole trader on your way to becoming one, not a junior handling everything while a partner signs it off once a year.
Services our Horsham clients rely on
- Bookkeeping: transactions recorded and reconciled every month, so year-end holds no surprises.
- Management accounts: clear monthly or quarterly figures for owners who want more than one set of numbers a year.
- Self assessment: for sole traders, directors and landlords, filed accurately and on time.
- VAT returns: registered and filed on time under Making Tax Digital, with the right scheme for your turnover explained in plain English.
- Corporation tax: CT600 preparation with the reliefs and allowances relevant to you reviewed before filing.
- Payroll: monthly RTI filings, payslips and auto-enrolment pensions handled for you, however many people you employ.
Whether you are a small engineering business or a technology firm making its first R&D claim, we help you time the move to a limited company or the next hire so it happens when the numbers support it.
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
- Payments and bank data: your accounts and Stripe feed into Xero automatically, ready for Making Tax Digital VAT returns.
- Paperwork handled: Apron picks up invoices and receipts, so nobody has to keep a box of paper for year-end.
- Figures on the go: the Xero app shows your cash position and lets you approve bills from your phone.
- Up to date all year: your accountant and you look at the same live file, every month.
If you are new to Xero, setup and migration from your current system are included when you join.
Switching from a Horsham 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.
