View serviceSupporting Gateshead’s businesses
Gateshead has a strong base of trades, manufacturing, distribution and service businesses, from the Team Valley Trading Estate to the Quayside and the town centre. That means cash flow, VAT and payroll are everyday priorities for many of the firms we help, alongside their year-end accounts and tax.
Team Valley and distribution businesses
Businesses around the Team Valley Trading Estate and the borough’s other commercial areas often deal with VAT, payroll and stock. We keep the bookkeeping accurate and the returns on time, and produce management figures when you need to see how the business is performing and where the margins really are.
Trades and construction
Gateshead has a large number of trades and construction businesses. We handle their accounts, VAT and the Construction Industry Scheme where it applies, make sure CIS deductions and returns are right, and plan ahead for tax so there are no surprises.
Independent and online businesses
From independent shops and services to online sellers working from home, we set up simple cloud systems and look after Self Assessment, VAT and accounts, so the admin never gets in the way of the work.
Company directors and growing firms
For owner-managed companies across Gateshead, we prepare statutory accounts, file Corporation Tax, run payroll, and advise on taking income from the business tax-efficiently as it grows.

You get straightforward advice, fixed fees, and an accountant who keeps an eye on your deadlines so you can concentrate on running the business. We plan for tax in advance rather than simply reporting on the year once it has gone.

Making Tax Digital for Gateshead businesses
Many Gateshead businesses are already affected by Making Tax Digital. If you are VAT-registered, MTD for VAT means keeping digital records and filing your returns through compatible software, which we set up and manage for you.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is also being phased in for sole traders and landlords above the income thresholds. Whether you run a trade, a distribution business or an independent shop, we tell you what applies and when, get you onto the right software in good time, and take care of the quarterly updates so there is nothing to catch you out. Moving to digital records early also makes your VAT and year-end work quicker and more accurate.
