Question 1 of 3
Does your accountant reply the same working day?
Do you know your fee for the year will not change?
If HMRC wrote to you tomorrow, would they deal with it at no extra cost?
That is three gaps, and each one costs you something on a sole trader return. Start the check and Mudassir reads your answers the same working day.

Read the guidesWhat you get
Tax investigation cover included free
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your books, we deal with it and you pay us nothing extra. Other firms sell that cover as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year.
A fee agreed before any work starts
We put the fee in writing first. Calls, meetings and emails are never billed on top, so you can ring when the figures do not add up.
A reply the same working day
Email us about a tax code or an HMRC letter and you hear back that day. If the answer needs longer, we still come back to say when.
What sole traders tell us when they call
Three things we hear most from sole traders around Port Talbot.
“I only hear from my accountant once a year, and that is when the bill lands.”
By then the tax is already due and nothing can be planned. Reliefs that needed claiming in the year have gone.
“I got an HMRC bill for payments on account and nobody explained what it was for.”
One client owed around £20,000 across Corporation Tax, VAT and Self Assessment with no idea why. Much of it was estimates.
“Every ten minute phone call ends up on my invoice, so I stopped ringing.”
Questions go unasked and mistakes get built into the return. The cheapest call is the one you make early.
What changes once we take it on
Your records go into cloud software and stay current. Every deadline for the year is mapped in your first month, so the Self Assessment date stops being a surprise. You ring us whenever you need to and it costs nothing.
How this compares with a once-a-year accountant
Plenty of sole traders in Port Talbot use a once-a-year firm, and for some that works.
A once-a-year accountant
You hear from them in December or January.
The fee moves with the time spent.
Calls and emails can be charged.
HMRC enquiry support is usually an add-on.

Eight questions about your current set-up
Answer these honestly before you decide whether to move.
Are your bank records reconciled up to this month?
Current records mean the tax figure is known long before the deadline.
Do you know what your tax bill will be this January?
A sole trader who finds out in January has no time left to plan.
Has anyone checked whether your payments on account are too high?
Estimates set by HMRC often sit well above what the return actually shows.
Are you watching your turnover against the VAT threshold?
Crossing it without registering turns into a VAT bill and a penalty.
Can you ring your accountant without it reaching your invoice?
If calls are billed, you will stop asking and the errors stay in.
Would someone deal with HMRC for you if a letter arrived?
Our cover is included free, so you are not buying it when the letter comes.
Are you keeping records in cloud software rather than a carrier bag?
We move clients to Xero free if they want to switch.
Do you know your fee for the whole year?
We agree it in writing before we start and it does not move.

Reviews from clients
Thank you Mud, your help and support with my VAT return is greatly appreciated. Always a prompt response and my difficult VAT return was quickly submitted and resolved. Would definitely recommend.
I just want to say a big thank you to Mudassir for all the advice, guidance and help he has provided whilst dealing with my accounts and tax returns. From start to finish the service has been excellent and professional. Unlike other accountancy firms they provide a friendly personalised service, I was very clear on the process and was even provided with additional guidance where needed. Highly recommended!
Friendly, nice 👌 , helpful and great all around
Difficult to describe as there are too many words that can be expressed for a wonderful accountant and their firm.
Definitely 🔝 and highly recommended in Wales 🏴 and throughout the UK for Accountancy and Tax Services

- Before you join
Your fee agreed in writing
You answer a few questions here and Mudassir reads them the same working day. If we are a fit, we agree your fixed fee before any work starts.
- Week one
Records moved across for you
We complete your ID checks and write to your current accountant for your records. HMRC authorises us as your agent.
- First month
Every deadline mapped for you
We go through your past returns and HMRC records. Unclaimed reliefs, payments on account set too high and penalties worth appealing turn up here.
- By ninety days
You know what is coming
We sit down with you on how you pay yourself and on your bookkeeping set-up. You know what is due, when, and who to call.
Who we are not right for
We do not take CIS construction subcontractor work.
We do not do one-off Self Assessment returns with nothing ongoing.
We do not take on businesses already late in an HMRC investigation.
If none of those is you, start the check and we will tell you straight whether we are a fit.
Sole trader accountants Port Talbot: questions people ask
How much do sole trader accountants in Port Talbot charge?
We work on a fixed fee agreed in writing before any work starts, based on what you actually need. Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top. We do not publish figures or ranges, because a sole trader with one bank account and one with VAT and staff are different jobs. Answer the questions here and we will quote you.
Can I switch to you from my current accountant?
Yes, and you do not have to make the awkward call. In week one we complete your ID checks and write to your current accountant for your records. HMRC authorises us as your agent. Your first month is free, moving to Xero is free if you want it, and there is no separate charge for the handover.
What happens if HMRC writes to me or opens a check?
Send us the letter and we deal with HMRC for you. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client, where other firms sell it as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won, though no accountant can promise an outcome in advance.
Do I have to change my bookkeeping software?
No. If your current system works and keeps proper digital records, we carry on with it. If you want to move to Xero we do the migration free, set it up with your bank feed and show you the handful of things you need to do each week. The choice is yours, not a condition of joining.
Do you work with sole traders in Port Talbot remotely or in person?
Both. We are based at Titan House in Cardiff Bay and over 90% of our clients are in South Wales. Most sole trader work is done remotely with records in cloud software, phone calls and email. If you would rather sit down with us, come to the office in Cardiff Bay.
Should I stay a sole trader or set up a limited company?
It depends on your profit, what you take out and what your customers expect. We look at the numbers with you rather than giving a rule of thumb, and we go through how you pay yourself within your first ninety days. If a company suits you better, we handle the change and the filings that come with it.
