Takeaway accountants in Bristol who answer the phone and file your VAT on time
Takeaway accountants Bristol owners look for when the VAT return is due and the paperwork behind the counter has stopped adding up. We are over the bridge in Cardiff Bay and we work with Bristol takeaways.
Most owners who ring us already have an accountant. The problem is the week it takes to get an answer and the invoice that lands after a ten minute call. Our fee is agreed in writing first, calls are free, 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 does bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and year-end accounts for takeaway owners in Bristol and South Wales. The fee is fixed and agreed in writing before work 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 takeaway in good hands? Three questions.
Answer with the buttons and you get a straight read on where you stand.
Question 1 of 3
Does your accountant reply the same working day?
Do you know your fee for this year will not change?
If HMRC wrote about your VAT tomorrow, would they deal with it at no extra cost?
That is a real gap, and it usually shows up at the worst moment, the week a VAT return is due. Start the check and Mudassir reads your answers and comes back the same working day.
Start the checkYou are in a reasonable position on at least one count. The part you answered no to is worth a conversation before the next quarter ends.
Start the checkYou are well served and there is no reason to move. Read the guides if you want a second view on your VAT records.
Read the guidesWhat you get
Tax investigation cover, included free
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your takeaway 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.
A fee you know before we start
We agree it in writing, then it stays put. Ring us when the till roll does not match the card machine and it costs nothing.
VAT filed on time every quarter
Takings, delivery platform statements and purchase invoices reconciled, then the return filed under Making Tax Digital before the deadline.
What takeaway owners tell us when they ring
Three things come up again and again on the first call.
“HMRC has written to me about my VAT and I do not know what the letter means.”
He had left it a fortnight because his accountant had not called back. We read it, replied for him and dealt with HMRC.
“The paperwork is in two carrier bags behind the counter and the quarter ends on Friday.”
The return went in late the last two quarters and the penalties followed. We take the paperwork as well as the figures.
“I got a bill I cannot make sense of and nobody has explained it.”
Nobody had looked at what the HMRC balance was actually made up of. That is the first thing we go through.
What changes once we take it on
Every deadline for the year is mapped in the first month, so you know what is coming before it arrives. The books are kept in cloud software instead of carrier bags. When a letter lands you send it to us and we answer it.
The usual arrangement, and ours
Plenty of accountants do solid work. The difference is what happens between the year-end jobs.

You hear from them when the accounts are due

Investigation cover is sold as an add-on
The VAT letter sits while you wait for a reply

You send us the letter and we answer HMRC
Eight questions about how your takeaway is run
Answer yes or no to each one before the next quarter ends.
Do your till takings get reconciled to the bank every week?
Weekly beats a panic at quarter end when a week of Z readings is missing.
Are your delivery platform statements included in your VAT figures?
Commission and platform fees are regularly missed off the return.
Do you know which VAT scheme you are on and why?
The scheme decides how much work the quarter takes and what you pay.
Are hot food and cold food sales split correctly on your records?
That split is the first thing HMRC asks about in a VAT check.
Are your staff paid through payroll with RTI filed on time?
Cash paid off the books is the costliest thing to unpick later.
Is your bookkeeping in cloud software rather than a carrier bag?
Cloud records mean we can answer a question the day you ask it.
Would your accountant deal with an HMRC VAT check at no extra cost?
Ours is included free, so the answer never depends on an invoice.
Do you know today what your accountant will charge this year?
The fee should be agreed in writing before any work starts.

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 you stand.
- Before you join
A 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
We get your records across
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
Every deadline mapped
We go through your past accounts, returns and HMRC records. Unclaimed reliefs, payments on account set too high and penalties worth appealing turn up here.
- By ninety days
You know how you pay yourself
We sit down with you on how you take money out of the takeaway and on your bookkeeping set-up. You know what is coming 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 cannot help a business that is already late in an HMRC investigation.
If none of those apply, start the check and Mudassir will come back to you the same working day.
Takeaway accountants Bristol: questions people ask
What does a takeaway accountant in Bristol cost?
We quote one fixed fee for the whole year and agree it in writing before any work starts. It covers the bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, year-end accounts and corporation tax your takeaway needs. Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top, and tax investigation cover is included free. The fee does not move partway through the year.
How do I switch from my current accountant?
You answer the questions on this page and we take it from there. We complete 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. The handover carries no separate charge and the first month is free.
What happens if HMRC writes to me about my VAT?
You send us the letter and we deal with HMRC for you. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client, so there is no extra bill for that work. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won. One client owed around £20,000 across three taxes and we went through every line until he knew exactly what he owed.
Do I have to change my bookkeeping software?
No. We work with what you already use, whether that is a spreadsheet, a shoebox of receipts or an existing cloud package. If you want to move to Xero we migrate you free of charge. We can also pull takings straight from your till and card machine reports so the quarter is not rebuilt from scratch.
Can a Cardiff practice really look after a Bristol takeaway?
Yes. Bristol is the neighbouring market over the bridge and we already work with businesses there. Most of the work is done remotely, with records in cloud software and a reply the same working day. If you want to sit down with us in person, our office is at Titan House in Cardiff Bay, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
My VAT returns are behind. Will you still take me on?
Usually yes. Late returns and unopened HMRC letters are normal first conversations for us, and we have rebuilt books from HMRC copies before and had penalties appealed and cancelled. The one case we cannot take is a business already late in an HMRC investigation, and we will tell you straight if that is you.
