Running a small business takes time, focus, and energy.

Whether you need an experienced small business accountant in London to streamline your monthly bookkeeping, or you want a dedicated small business accountant near Mayfair to handle your year-end compliance, we provide you with financial clarity, helping you focus on running your business with confidence.
Bookkeeping and Financial Record Keeping
With our extensive experience, we know how important bookkeeping is to every healthy business. Without organised records, you cannot understand your business growth, plan for tax liabilities, or make informed operational decisions. At King Consultants Accountancy, we reduce administrative strain, managing your financial records on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis:
-
Receipt and invoice capturing – we streamline document collection using automated software, ensuring nothing is missed
-
Bank reconciliation – we match daily business banking transactions against invoices and expenses, ensuring accurate account balances are maintained
-
Debtor and creditor management – our team track unpaid invoices and vendor payments, ensuring you know who owes you money and who you owe at all times
-
Making Tax Digital (MTD) readiness – we support digital record-keeping and compatible software use in line with applicable HMRC MTD requirements
Fully Managed Payroll Services - PAYE and Auto-Enrolment
Managing your payroll manually is a time-consuming task, brimming with risks. Changing tax codes, student loan deductions, and mandatory workplace pensions mean compliance requirements require constant attention.
We offer an end-to-end payroll service, supporting accurate and timely payroll processing for every pay run:
-
PAYE and Real Time Information (RTI) – We submit mandatory RTI declarations to HMRC on or before each pay-day
-
Generating Payslips – we issue secure digital payslips to your employees

Year-End Accounts and Corporation Tax for Limited Companies
When operating as a limited company, you enjoy liability protection, along with credibility, but you are faced with strict statutory filing requirements. Directors are legally responsible for filing annual accounts with Companies House, and Corporation Tax returns (CT600) to HMRC. We are a trusted limited company accountant in London, ensuring your year-end duties are handled precisely and seamlessly:
-
Statutory Accounts Preparation – our team prepares compliant balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and director reports in accordance with UK GAAP

As a leading small business accountant in London, we provide self-employed professionals, freelancers, and partnership members with income and expense reconciliation, along with payments on account calculations, and direct HMRC representation. We review your business receipts, purchases, vehicle usage, and home-office costs, along with preparing accurate forecasts for HMRC tax payments, while handling communication, submissions, and enquiries with tax authorities on your behalf, saving you valuable time and energy.
VAT Registration and Quarterly Returns
Reaching the UK's VAT registration threshold requires proactive planning.
