Bookkeeping in Barry kept up to date for a fixed fee
Bookkeeping in Barry is what most owners ring us about first, usually with a bank feed nobody has reconciled since spring and a VAT return due in three weeks.
Most owners have been quoted for the books and then billed again for the phone call that followed. We agree the fee in writing before we start, calls and emails are never charged, and tax investigation cover is included free for every client.
In one lineSupreme Consultants is an AAT licensed accountancy practice in Cardiff Bay that does bookkeeping for Barry businesses, keeping records current in cloud software on a fixed fee agreed before work starts. Tax investigation cover is included free 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.
Is your bookkeeping in good hands? Three questions.
Answer with the buttons and you will see where you stand.
Question 1 of 3
Are your records reconciled up to the end of last month?
Do you know your bookkeeping fee will not change this year?
If HMRC wrote tomorrow, would your accountant deal with it at no extra cost?
Your books are behind, the fee can move and HMRC would be your problem alone. Start the check and we will tell you what we would do first.
Start the checkSome of this is in order, so you are not in a bad spot. There is one gap worth a short conversation before the next VAT quarter closes.
Start the checkYou are well served and there is no reason to move. Read the guides and keep an eye on the deadlines in them.
Read the guidesWhat you get
Tax investigation cover included free
If HMRC opens an enquiry we deal with it and you pay us nothing extra. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.
Books ready before the VAT return is due
Your records are reconciled each month, so the quarterly return is a check rather than a scramble. You can ring us about the till roll and it costs nothing.
Numbers that stand up to HMRC
One client owed HMRC about £20,000 and could not say what for. Good records and an early filing got part of that debt cancelled and the interest written off.
What owners tell us before they move their books
These are the three things we hear most from Barry business owners.
“The receipts are in a carrier bag and the VAT return is due a week on Friday.”
Rushed quarters are where errors go in. Errors are what HMRC picks up on a VAT check.
“Every time I phone with a question about a transaction, it turns up on the invoice.”
So owners stop asking, and small coding mistakes sit in the books all year.
“I do not know what my profit is until the accounts land nine months later.”
By then the tax bill is fixed and nothing can be done about it.
What changes once we take it on
Your bank feeds are reconciled every month in cloud software. You see what you have made and what is owed before the quarter ends. Ring us with a question and there is no charge for it.
How this compares with the usual arrangement
Plenty of accountants do good work on a different model to ours.
The usual bookkeeping arrangement
Records written up once a year for the accounts
Time billed for calls and emails
Investigation cover sold as a yearly add-on
A reply when someone gets to it
With Supreme Consultants
Records reconciled every month in cloud software

Eight questions about your current bookkeeping
Answer these about the way your books are kept today.
Are your bank accounts reconciled to the end of last month?
If not, your VAT figures are guesswork.
Do you know your profit for the quarter just gone?
You should be able to see it within days of the quarter closing.
Are your records kept in cloud software you can log into?
You should be able to see your own numbers whenever you want.
Does every purchase have a receipt attached to it?
HMRC asks for the paperwork, not the bank line.
Is your fee fixed for the year ahead?
A fixed fee agreed in writing means no bill you did not expect.
Can you phone with a question without it being billed?
Calls, meetings and emails are never charged here.
Would someone deal with an HMRC VAT check for you?
Our tax investigation cover is included free for every client.
Do you get a reply the same working day?
If the answer needs longer, we still come back that day to say when.

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

Who we are not right for

Bookkeeping in Barry: questions people ask
How much does bookkeeping in Barry cost?
We quote a fixed fee in writing before any work starts, based on the number of transactions, whether you are VAT registered and how much paperwork comes to us. The fee does not move during the year. Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top, so asking a question costs you nothing.
Can you take over bookkeeping from my current accountant in Barry?
Yes, and you do not have to make that call. In week one we complete your ID checks and write to your current accountant for your records, then get authorised as your agent with HMRC and Companies House. The handover and the first month carry no separate charge.
What happens if HMRC checks my records?
We deal with HMRC for you and you pay us nothing extra, because tax investigation cover is included free for every client. Other firms sell it as an add-on at £300 to £1,000 a year. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won, though we never promise an outcome on any enquiry.
Do I have to change my accounting software?
No. We work with the cloud software you already use. If you would rather move to Xero we do the migration free, set up your bank feeds and make sure the opening balances match your last filed accounts. The choice is yours and it does not change the fee.
How often will my books be updated?
Monthly as standard, so your bank accounts are reconciled and your VAT position is clear well before the return is due. Some clients want weekly figures during a busy trading period and we set that up at the start. You get a reply the same working day whenever you ask.
Do you do bookkeeping for Barry businesses remotely or in person?
Both. Most of the work is done remotely from our office at Titan House in Cardiff Bay, which is twenty minutes from Barry, and you are welcome to come in. We do not take on CIS construction subcontractors, charities, or businesses already late in an HMRC investigation.
