Bookkeeping in Port Talbot, kept up to date for a fixed fee
Bookkeeping Port Talbot businesses need is the dull monthly sort: the bank reconciled, the receipts coded, the VAT figures ready before the quarter closes. Most owners come to us with the receipts in a bag and the bank untouched since spring.
Owners worry the fee will creep once we see the state of the records. It will not. We agree a fixed 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 at Titan House in Cardiff Bay that keeps bookkeeping records up to date for Port Talbot businesses in cloud software. Work is done on a fixed fee agreed in writing before it starts, and 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.
Three yes or no questions, answered with a button, with no email asked for.
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 mean your books are written up after the fact and nobody picks up when you need an answer. Start the check and we will tell you what we would take on and what the fixed fee covers.
Start the checkOne or two yeses is a reasonable position, and most owners we meet start there. The thing worth a conversation is what happens on the day HMRC writes to you.
Start the checkThree yeses and you are well served where you are. The guides are there if you want to check a VAT or payroll point.
Read the guidesWhat you get
Tax investigation cover included free
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your business, we deal with it and you pay us nothing extra. Other firms sell that as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year.
Books that are current every month
We reconcile the bank and code the receipts as they come in. The VAT return is then a review of figures you have already seen.
A fee you know before we start
Agreed in writing, with calls, meetings and emails never charged on top. Ring us when the till roll does not add up and it costs nothing.
What owners tell us before they call
Three things we hear most weeks from businesses in and around Port Talbot.
“I only hear from my accountant once a year, and then it is a bill I cannot make sense of.”
A year of guesswork ends in a tax figure nobody explained, and by then nothing can be changed.
“Every phone call ends up on an invoice, so I stopped ringing.”
Questions go unasked, and a mistake in the VAT return sits there until HMRC writes about it.
“The receipts are in a carrier bag behind the counter and the bank has not been reconciled since spring.”
The VAT return gets estimated, the figures drift, and an HMRC check turns into a hunt for records.
What changes once we take it on
The bank is reconciled and the receipts are coded month by month, so the VAT quarter is a review rather than a reconstruction. You get a figure for what the business made last quarter, not a guess in December. When HMRC asks for a record, we have it.
How this compares with the usual arrangement
Plenty of firms do good work. The difference is when the records get done and what a question costs you.
A bookkeeper who writes the quarter up at the end
Records caught up in the week before the VAT deadline.
Questions answered when there is time, sometimes next week.
Extra work billed by the hour once the bag of receipts arrives.
Investigation cover sold as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year.

Eight questions about your bookkeeping set-up
Answer these for your own business before you change anything.
Is your bank reconciled up to the end of last month?
A quarter behind means your VAT return is being estimated.
Do your receipts reach your accountant during the month?
Photos sent in weekly beat a bag handed over in December.
Do you know what the business made last quarter?
Current books answer that in a minute.
Is your software connected to a live bank feed?
Without one, somebody is typing your statements in by hand.
Has anyone checked the VAT treatment of your takings?
Mixed rate sales are where HMRC VAT checks usually start.
Do you get charged every time you ring with a question?
Our calls, meetings and emails are never billed.
Could you find a purchase invoice from eighteen months ago?
That is exactly what an HMRC check asks you for.
Is there a written list of your filing deadlines?
We map every deadline in your first month with us.

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

Getting started
Four steps, starting with the questions on this page.
- Before you join
Your fee agreed in writing
You answer a few questions on the site. Mudassir reads them and replies the same working day, and 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, so you do not have to make that call. HMRC and Companies House authorise us as your agent.
- First month
Your past year gone through
We go through your past accounts, tax returns and HMRC records. Unclaimed reliefs, payments on account set too high and penalties worth appealing turn up here.
- By ninety days
A set-up that stays current
We sit down with you on how you pay yourself and on your bookkeeping set-up. You know every deadline for the year and who to call.
Who we are not right for
We do not work with CIS construction subcontractors.
We do not prepare charity accounts.
We cannot take on a business that is already late in an HMRC investigation.
If none of those describe you, start the check and Mudassir will tell you straight either way.
Bookkeeping in Port Talbot: questions people ask
How much does bookkeeping in Port Talbot cost?
We agree a fixed fee in writing before any work starts, so you know the number before we touch your records. It depends on how many transactions and bank accounts you have, whether you are VAT registered, and whether payroll is included. Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top.
Can you take over the bookkeeping from my current accountant?
Yes. You answer the questions on this page, we reply the same working day, and if we are a fit we agree the fee. Then we do your ID checks and write to your current accountant for your records, so you never have to make that call. HMRC and Companies House authorise us as your agent.
What happens if HMRC checks my VAT or writes to me?
We deal with HMRC for you and tax investigation cover is included free for every client, so an enquiry brings no extra bill from us. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won. That is what has happened so far, and it is never a promise about how your own case will end.
Do I have to change my accounting software?
No. We work in cloud software and can carry on with what you already use. If you would rather move to Xero, we do the migration free. Whatever you use, we want the bank feed connected and receipts reaching us during the month instead of at the year end.
Do you do bookkeeping for Port Talbot businesses remotely or in person?
Both. Over 90% of our clients are in South Wales and most bookkeeping runs on the bank feed and receipt photos, so very little needs a journey. You can also meet us at Titan House in Cardiff Bay, or do a mix of the two, whichever suits how you work.
Which businesses do you take on?
Limited companies, sole traders, partnerships and community interest companies across South Wales, including shops, takeaways, serviced accommodation and grant-funded organisations. We do not take CIS construction subcontractors, charities, or a business already late in an HMRC investigation. If that is you, we say so at the first reply rather than later.
