Built for Nottingham's businesses

Nottingham has real strength in life sciences, retail and creative digital, and startups here don't need a generalist down the road — they need specialists who answer quickly and price fairly. Because we work online, you get exactly that, plus a nudge towards the right local support: the D2N2 Growth Hub is a good first stop for grants and advice, and our Swoop-powered funding portal searches 1,000+ lenders and grant schemes on top.

How do Nottingham retailers handle VAT and stock properly?

Retail is one of the East Midlands' bigger employers, and retailers get VAT options most businesses do not. Retail schemes let you work out output VAT from daily gross takings instead of analysing every individual sale, which is the difference between a manageable quarter and an impossible one. If you also sell online, the platform reports and the till are two separate records that have to reconcile to the same figure. Stock is the other half: it must be counted and valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value at each year end, and a guessed number moves your profit and your tax straight along with it. Life-sciences and creative-digital businesses here more often come to us about R&D relief and grant income.

Nottingham questions

Asked all the time

Do you offer accountancy for startups in Nottingham?

Yes. We're specialist accountants for startups covering Nottingham and the East Midlands, working entirely online — so you get specialists rather than whoever happens to be nearby.

Which VAT retail scheme should a Nottingham shop use?

It depends on your mix of zero-rated and standard-rated goods and on how your till records sales. The point-of-sale scheme suits shops that can identify the VAT rate at the till; the apportionment and direct calculation schemes suit those that cannot. Choosing the wrong one usually means overpaying, so it is worth reviewing rather than inheriting.

Do I need a Nottingham-based accountant?

Not any more. Cloud accounting means everything — bookkeeping, tax, filing and advice — happens securely online, so where your accountant sits is irrelevant. What matters is that they know your world and reply when you need them.

How much do you charge?

Fixed monthly fees scaled to your turnover, agreed in writing up front, with FreeAgent included. No hourly billing and no surprise bills.
