Three Ways We'll Transform Your Finances

Most accountants just file your returns. We actively find ways to reduce your tax, streamline your operations, and give you the numbers you need to make confident decisions.

Pay Less Tax (Legally)

We'll review your current structure and find every allowance you're missing. R&D credits, capital allowances, dividend planning - most clients save £5,000+ in the first year alone.

Tax planning

Get Paid Faster

Stop chasing invoices. We'll help you spot late payers early, and show you exactly which clients are costing you money. Most clients improve cash flow by 30%.

Bookkeeping

Make Confident Decisions

Know exactly what you can afford before you spend. Monthly reports show your true profit margins, which services make money, and whether you're ready to hire. No more guessing.

Why We're Different From Your Current Accountant

We find money you're leaving on the table. While most accountants just file your returns, we actively hunt for tax savings. Last month alone, we found £12,000 in R&D credits a client didn't know they qualified for.

You'll actually understand your numbers. No jargon, no 50-page reports you'll never read. Just clear answers: Can I afford to hire? Should I lease or buy? Is this client profitable? We explain everything in plain English.

We answer in hours, not weeks. WhatsApp us a question at 9am, get an answer by lunch. No more waiting days for a callback or weeks for that tax calculation. Your business moves fast - so do we.

Latest Guides From Our Accountants

Plain-English explanations of UK tax, payroll and accounting rules, with worked examples and current figures.

Called Up Share Capital Not Paid: The Box Nobody Explains

It is the first line on a UK company balance sheet, it sits above fixed assets, and most directors have no idea what to put in it. Here is what called up share capital not paid actually means, what the number should be for a normal £1 company, and why leaving it unpaid is a personal liability rather than a formatting choice.

Micro-Entity Accounts: What You File, and What You Give Up

A UK company can file micro-entity accounts if it meets two of three tests: turnover of £1 million or less, a balance sheet total of £500,000 or less, and 10 employees or fewer. Those limits changed on 6 April 2025, and a lot of the guidance online still quotes the old ones. Here is who qualifies, what FRS 105 actually lets you do, the difference between abridged and filleted accounts, and why the cheapest set of accounts is not always the cheapest decision.

Questions People Ask Before They Switch

Where are IAK Accountants based, and which areas do you cover?

Our office is at Cuffley Place, Sopers Road, Cuffley EN6 4SG, on the border of North London and Hertfordshire. We work with clients across Potters Bar, Barnet, Enfield, Finchley and the wider Hertfordshire area. Most of the work happens online through Xero, email and video calls, so location rarely matters.

How much does an accountant cost for a small business?

We quote a fixed monthly fee in writing before any work starts. A sole trader self assessment starts around £250 a year. A limited company package with bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and year-end accounts typically sits between £150 and £450 a month, depending on volume.

Can you take over from my current accountant?

Yes. We handle the professional clearance letter, request your records and pick up where the previous firm left off. You sign one form and we do the rest. Most takeovers complete inside three weeks.

Do you work with Xero?

Yes. We are certified Xero partners and use Xero as our default platform for new clients. We also support QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent, and we migrate clients from spreadsheets as part of onboarding.

What happens in the free 30-minute review?

We look at your current structure, your latest accounts and tax returns, and tell you where you are overpaying or exposed. There is no obligation and no jargon. If we cannot add value, we will say so.
