Corner shop accountants in Caerphilly who handle your VAT and your paperwork
Corner shop accountants in Caerphilly usually get the first call when a VAT return is due and the supplier invoices are still in a carrier bag behind the till.
Most owners come to us after a letter from HMRC about VAT, or a bill nobody explained. We agree the fee in writing before any work starts, 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, Cardiff Bay. It does bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll and year-end accounts for corner shops and convenience stores in Caerphilly and across South Wales, on a fixed fee agreed in writing before work starts, with tax investigation cover 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.
5.0 on Google from 14 reviewsReply the same working dayFee fixed before we startEnglish, Urdu, Hindi and Farsi spokenIs your shop in good hands? Three questions.
Answer with a 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 to you tomorrow, would they deal with it at no extra cost?
Three noes means the shop is carrying risk the accountant should be carrying. Start the check and Mudassir reads your answers the same working day.
Start the checkYou are in a reasonable position on the basics. One of those gaps is worth a conversation before the next VAT quarter closes.
Start the checkYou are well served and there is no reason to move. Read the guides if you want a second view on VAT records and till takings.
Read the guidesWhat you get
Tax investigation cover included free
If HMRC opens an enquiry into the shop, we deal with it and you pay us nothing extra. Other firms sell this as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year, and every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.
Your VAT return in on time, every quarter
We take the till reports, the supplier invoices and the card machine statements and turn them into a return that goes in on the date it is due.
A fee you know before we start
It is agreed in writing. Ring us when the till roll does not add up and it costs nothing.
What shop owners tell us when they call
Three things we hear most weeks from Caerphilly shops.
HMRC has written to me about my VAT and I do not know what the letter means.
The letter sits on the counter for a fortnight. The date in it does not move.
The paperwork is piling up behind the till and nobody has asked me for it.
Supplier invoices go missing, and the VAT you could have reclaimed goes with them.
I got a bill I cannot make sense of and my accountant has not called back.
A week of waiting while interest runs on something you did not know you owed.
What changes once we take it on
We collect the paperwork every month, so nothing sits behind the counter until March. Your VAT return goes in on time and your books stay in cloud software you can see. If HMRC writes, you send it to us and we answer it.
How this differs from the usual yearly arrangement
Both get accounts filed. The difference shows up in the months between.
The usual yearly arrangement
You hear from your accountant once a year, after the year end.
A ten minute phone call turns up on the next invoice.
Investigation cover is offered as an add-on at £300 to £1,000 a year.
You sort the paperwork yourself and hand it over in a box.
With Supreme Consultants
A reply the same working day, and a date if the answer takes longer.
Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top.
Tax investigation cover is included free for every client.
We take the paperwork as well and keep the books up to date in cloud software.
Eight questions about how your shop’s books are run
A no on any of these is worth half an hour of someone’s time.
Are your till takings reconciled to the bank every month?
If they are reconciled yearly, errors sit unfound for twelve months.
Do your supplier invoices reach your accountant within the quarter?
Late invoices mean VAT you could have reclaimed never gets claimed.
Do you know which VAT scheme your shop is on and why?
The wrong scheme costs money every quarter on a shop’s mix of zero rated and standard rated stock.
Is your card machine income matched to the till reports?
Unmatched card income is the first thing an HMRC VAT check looks at.
Have you applied for every business rates relief your Welsh council offers?
Welsh councils make you apply, and they do not chase you to do it.
Is your payroll filed to HMRC on time each pay run?
Late RTI submissions bring penalties that build up quietly.
If HMRC opened a VAT check, would someone deal with it for you?
Our tax investigation cover is included free for every client.
Do you know today what your accountant will charge you this year?
We agree the fee in writing before any work starts.

What a first meeting with a shop owner can turn up
A Spar franchise owner with several stores came to us still paying full business rates from the Covid years. Retail businesses in Wales were entitled to relief, but the council only gave it to the businesses that applied.
Clients described by type. Names withheld.
- How it was found
- Nobody had told him the relief had to be applied for, so he kept paying the full bill.
- What happened
- We spotted it in the first meeting and it saved him £10,000.
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 from your first answers to knowing where the shop stands.
- Before you join
Your fixed fee 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 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 and Companies House authorise us as your agent.
- First month
Old returns and bills checked
We go through your past accounts, VAT returns and HMRC records. Unclaimed reliefs, payments on account set too high and penalties worth appealing turn up here.
- By ninety days
Till and books set up properly
We sit down with you on how you pay yourself and on the bookkeeping set-up behind the till. You know what is coming up and who to call.
Who we are not right for
We do not take on CIS construction subcontractors.
We do not do charity accounts.
We do not take on businesses already late in an HMRC investigation.
If your shop sits outside those three, start the check and Mudassir will come back the same working day.
Corner shop accountants in Caerphilly: questions people ask
What do corner shop accountants in Caerphilly charge?
We agree a fixed fee in writing before any work starts, based on what your shop actually needs: bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, accounts and corporation tax. It does not move during the year. Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top, so you can ring us when the till roll does not add up.
How do I switch if I already have an accountant?
You do not have to make the awkward call. We write to your current accountant for your records, complete your ID checks, and get authorised as your agent with HMRC and Companies House. The handover costs nothing extra, and your first month is free. Most shops are moved across inside a few weeks.
What happens if HMRC checks my VAT?
You send us the letter and we answer it. We go through the till reports, card income and supplier invoices, then 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 investigation we have handled, we have won.
Do I have to change my till or my software?
No. We work with the records your shop already produces, including till reports and card machine statements. If you want to move to Xero we do the migration free, and if you would rather stay where you are, we keep your books in what you have. The choice is yours.
Do you work with Caerphilly shops in person or remotely?
Both. We are based at Titan House in Cardiff Bay, about twenty minutes from Caerphilly, and most work is done remotely with records sent in each month. You can come to the office when you want to sit down with the numbers. We also speak Urdu, Hindi and Farsi.
Is there anyone you will not take on?
Yes. We do not act for CIS construction subcontractors, we do not do charity accounts, and we will not take on a business that is already late in an HMRC investigation. We tell people straight at the first call rather than take the work and let them down later.
