Running a small business means wearing many hats. Sales, operations, customer service—and then there’s the tax return sitting in your inbox, deadline looming. For many business owners, managing finances is the part of the job they dread most. That’s where a self-employed accountant makes a real difference.
At Tax Return Assist, we provide expert accountancy services to small businesses and self-employed individuals across England. Based in Grays, Essex, our team of accredited accountants handles everything from self-assessment tax returns to VAT filings and bookkeeping—so you can focus on running your business, not wrestling with spreadsheets. With transparent fixed-fee pricing, no hidden charges, and a dedicated accountant assigned to your account, we make professional financial support accessible for businesses of every size.
Many sole traders and small business owners assume professional accountancy is only for larger firms. That’s a costly misconception. HMRC’s rules around self-assessment, corporation tax, and VAT are complex—and mistakes can result in penalties, missed deductions, or overpaid tax.
A qualified self-employed accountant does more than file your returns. They identify allowable expenses you might have overlooked, flag tax-saving opportunities, and keep your business compliant year-round. According to HMRC, around 1.1 million self-assessment returns were filed late in the 2022/23 tax year—many resulting in automatic £100 penalties. Working with an accountant significantly reduces that risk.
Tax Return Assist is a member of the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA), giving clients confidence that their finances are handled by verified, qualified professionals.
Tax Return Assist provides a full range of accountancy services for self-employed individuals and small businesses throughout England. Here’s what’s included:
Self-assessment can be confusing, especially when income comes from multiple sources. Tax Return Assist completes and files your self-assessment return from just £95—sorted by an accredited accountant and filed in as little as 48 hours.
For limited companies, Tax Return Assist prepares and submits company accounts and corporation tax returns (CT600) to both HMRC and Companies House. Packages start from £195, covering annual accounts and full tax compliance.
