Newcastle has one of the broadest economies in the North East, spanning professional services, technology, retail, hospitality, construction and the public sector. Our clients reflect that mix, from firms in the city centre to independent traders in Gosforth, Heaton and Jesmond, and we tailor our support to the way each one works.
Companies and professional services
Many of our Newcastle clients are owner-managed limited companies and professional practices. We prepare their statutory accounts, file the Corporation Tax return, run director and staff payroll, and advise on taking a tax-efficient mix of salary and dividends. Where a company is growing, we add management accounts so owners can see how it is really performing.
Retail, hospitality and the high street
Independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants across the city rely on steady bookkeeping, accurate VAT returns and payroll for part-time teams. We keep those running smoothly and help owners plan for busier and quieter periods, so cash flow holds up through the year.
Contractors, freelancers and the self-employed
Newcastle has a large community of contractors and freelancers. We make Self Assessment simple, claim every allowable expense, and explain how rules such as IR35 affect your take-home pay, so you keep more of what you earn without any guesswork.
Landlords and property investors
From a single buy-to-let to a growing portfolio, we prepare rental accounts and tax returns for Newcastle landlords, apply the mortgage interest and expense rules correctly, and help you get ready for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.
Why choose a local accountant in Newcastle?
A local accountant understands the city your business trades in. We know the sectors that drive Newcastle, the pressures that smaller firms face, and the questions that come up most often. You deal with the same person each time, not a call centre, and we explain what your numbers mean rather than hiding behind jargon.
We are proactive, too. We plan for tax before the year ends, flag anything worth acting on early, and keep track of every filing date so you are never caught out by a deadline.
How we work with Newcastle clients
Most of our work is handled online through secure cloud software such as Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent. Bank feeds keep your records up to date, digital record-keeping keeps you ready for Making Tax Digital, and you can see your figures whenever you want. When a face-to-face conversation genuinely helps, we can arrange it.
Whichever way you prefer to work, you get a dedicated accountant who tracks your deadlines and reminds you in good time, so nothing is left to the last minute.
We are Newcastle Accountants, and alongside Newcastle upon Tyne we help businesses in nearby Gateshead, with a full range of accountancy services available online across the North East.
Thinking of switching to a Newcastle accountant?
Changing accountant is simpler than most people expect, and you can do it at almost any time of year. With your permission, we contact your current accountant for the professional clearance and the records we need, then manage the handover so nothing is missed. There is usually very little for you to do beyond saying yes.
How much does an accountant in Newcastle cost?
There is no single price, because it depends on whether you are a sole trader, a landlord or a limited company, and on the services you need. We agree a fixed fee in advance and let you pay monthly, so there are no surprise bills and a quick phone call never costs extra. Our guide to accountancy costs in Newcastle explains what affects the price.
Making Tax Digital for Newcastle upon Tyne businesses
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is changing how tax is reported to HMRC, and it affects a growing number of Newcastle businesses and individuals. MTD for VAT already applies to VAT-registered businesses, who must keep digital records and file their returns through compatible software.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is now being introduced for sole traders and landlords, starting with those whose income is over £50,000 and reaching lower thresholds in the following years. We confirm exactly what applies to you, set up the right software, move you to digital record-keeping, and handle the quarterly updates, so you stay compliant without the stress. Getting onto digital records early also means fewer surprises and more accurate figures to run your business by.
