Who we help
Ten trades written up in depth - and detailed cost rules for a great many more.
These ten turn up often enough that we have written each one up properly — where the money goes missing, which mistake HMRC looks for first, what your trade can claim. That is usually the difference between an accountant who files your return and one who understands your trade.
They are not a list of who we will take on. We are a general practice and we act for all sorts — limited companies as much as sole traders. Type what you do below: if it is not one of the ten, the search keeps going through every trade we hold detailed cost rules for, and if it is not in there either it will still show you the rules that apply to everybody.

What we do for them →These ten are written up in depth because we see them every week. They are not a membership list. We act for limited companies and sole traders across every sort of trade, and plenty that never fitted a category neatly.
Our what can I claim? reference goes into detail on a great many trades — and if yours is not one of them, it will still show you the rules that apply to every business, and the extra ones that come with running a limited company. Nobody leaves that page with nothing.
