Accounting for sole traders, from builders to beauticians
You do the work. I’ll handle the tax returns, MTD, CIS and VAT.
Whether you’re a tradesperson, run a solo salon or freelance from your kitchen table, I’ll keep you compliant with HMRC and make sure you’re claiming everything you’re entitled to — so you keep more of what you earn.
Based in Camberley, supporting sole traders across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire.

Is MTD for Income Tax coming for you?
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax means keeping digital records and sending HMRC quarterly updates through approved software, instead of one tax return a year.
It applies to sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 from April 2026, over £30,000 from April 2027 and over £20,000 from April 2028.
I’ll get you set up on the right software and either handle it all for you, or check and submit your own records each quarter.
Who I work with
Need a better bookkeeper? Switching is easy.
Just send your current bookkeeper one email introducing me and letting them know I’m taking over. I’ll handle everything else — collecting your records, taking over your software and updating HMRC.
How switching works →I really appreciate the time Bex took to understand fully what I do and tailored her support and guidance on that, rather than giving blanket answers.
