Takeaway accountants in Cardiff who answer the phone and fix the fee
Takeaway accountants in Cardiff usually get the first call about a VAT letter, a till roll that does not match the card machine, or an app payout that came in short.
Most owners we meet were once billed for a ten minute phone call, so they stopped ringing. We agree a fixed fee before we start and reply the same working day. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client, and every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.
In one lineSupreme Consultants is an AAT licensed accountancy practice in Cardiff Bay that handles VAT, bookkeeping, payroll and year end accounts for takeaways across Cardiff and South Wales. Fees are fixed and agreed in writing before work starts, and tax investigation cover is included for every client.
Check we’re the right fit
A few questions about your business. Mudassir replies the same working day.
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.
5.0 on Google from 14 reviewsReply the same working dayFee fixed before we startEnglish, Urdu, Hindi and Farsi spokenIs your takeaway in good hands? Three questions.
Answer by button, no email needed.
Question 1 of 3
Does your accountant reply the same working day?
Do you know your fee will not change this year?
If HMRC wrote tomorrow, would they deal with it at no extra cost?
Three noes means you are carrying work and risk that should sit with your accountant. The check takes a few minutes and tells us what to fix first.
Start the checkYou are in a reasonable position with one gap worth a conversation. Run the check and we will tell you which gap costs you most.
Start the checkYou are well served and there is no reason to move. The guides are there if you want a second view on app payouts and VAT.
Read the guidesWhat you get
Tax investigation cover at no extra cost
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your takeaway, we deal with it and the cover is included for every client. Every investigation we have handled, we have won.
A fee you know before we start
We agree it in writing after the first chat. Calls, meetings and emails are never added to it.
An answer the same working day
Ring us when the card machine total and the till roll disagree. If the answer needs longer, we come back that day with when to expect it.
What takeaway owners tell us when they call
These are the three lines we hear most often in a first meeting.
“I got a letter from HMRC about my VAT and I have no idea what it is asking me for.”
He left it three weeks and the penalty grew while he waited.
“My last accountant billed me for a ten minute phone call, so now I just guess.”
Guessing on delivery app commission put two VAT returns out.
“The receipts are in a carrier bag behind the till and the year end is next month.”
Rushed records mean purchase VAT missed and a bigger corporation tax bill.
What changes once we take it on
We rebuild the records, file what is overdue and diarise every deadline for the year. You get one fixed fee and a reply the same working day. Owners start asking the small questions, which is where the money usually gets saved.
How this compares with the accountant most takeaways already have
Plenty of firms do solid work at the year end. The difference shows between the filings.
A typical high street accountant
You hear from them once a year, at the accounts.
The fee moves when the work does.
A phone call can turn up on the invoice.
Investigation cover is sold to you as an add-on.

Calls, meetings and emails are never billed.
Tax investigation cover included free for every client.
Eight things to check about your takeaway’s books
Answer each one yes or no and you will see where the holes are.
Do your till takings reconcile to your bank every week?
Weekly reconciliation is what stops a VAT query turning into a long enquiry.
Do you record app commission as a cost and declare gross sales?
Netting the commission off understates your sales and the VAT return goes out wrong.
Are all staff hours run through payroll with auto-enrolment set up?
Kitchen staff paid outside payroll is the first thing HMRC asks about.
Do you keep supplier invoices for food and packaging?
No invoice means no purchase VAT reclaimed on that stock.
Do you know which of your sales are zero rated?
Hot food, cold food and eat in are treated differently and the split has to be right.
Is your VAT return filed from software that keeps digital records?
Making Tax Digital requires it, and a spreadsheet on its own will not do.
Do you know your fee for the next twelve months?
If the figure moves with the work, you cannot plan around it.
Would someone handle an HMRC letter for you at no extra cost?
We include tax investigation cover free for every client we act for.

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

How switching to us works
Most of it happens without you doing much beyond saying yes.
- Before you join
A free introductory chat
Tell us where the books, the VAT and the staff pay stand. We say straight away whether we can genuinely help.
- Week one
Your records moved across
We run the ID checks, agree the fixed fee in writing and write to your current accountant for the handover. You avoid that conversation.
- First month
Old returns gone through
We read your past accounts, returns and HMRC record. This is where missed reliefs and penalties that can be appealed turn up.
- By ninety days
Deadlines mapped for the year
VAT, payroll, accounts and corporation tax all diarised. We also talk through salary and dividends so you keep more of the takings.
Who we are not right for
We do not act for CIS construction subcontractors.
We do not take on charities.
We cannot pick up a case where an HMRC investigation is already under way when you come to us.
If none of those apply to your shop, the three question check is the quickest way to see where you stand.
Takeaway accountants Cardiff: questions people ask
What do takeaway accountants in Cardiff cost?
You pay one fixed monthly fee, agreed in writing before any work starts. We quote it after the introductory chat, once we know your turnover, whether you are VAT registered, how many staff are on payroll and how tidy the records are. Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top.
How do I switch accountants halfway through my trading year?
You can move at any point in the year. We run your ID checks, agree the fee, then write to your current accountant for professional clearance and your records, so you never have to make that call. We also get authorised as your agent with HMRC and Companies House.
What happens if HMRC writes to my takeaway about VAT?
Send us the letter the day it arrives and we deal with HMRC directly. We check what they are actually asking for, pull the records together and reply for you. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client, and every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.
Do I have to change my till or accounting software?
No. We work with the till and card provider you already use, and we take the data as it comes out. If you do want to move your bookkeeping to Xero, the migration is free when you join us. The decision is yours either way.
Do takeaway accountants in Cardiff handle payroll for kitchen staff?
Yes. We run weekly or monthly payroll, produce payslips, handle starters and leavers and set up auto-enrolment pensions. Getting every hour through payroll matters for a food business, because staff pay is one of the first areas HMRC looks at when it reviews a takeaway.
How should Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat payouts be recorded?
The money that hits your bank is the sale less commission, so declaring only the payout understates your sales. We record gross sales and treat the commission as a cost, then reconcile each payout statement to the till. That keeps your VAT return and your margins accurate.
