UK Accountant needed for one-off review of Ltd company
Hi, I’m looking for a UK-based qualified accountant (ACCA/ACA preferred) to carry out a one-off review of my Ltd company accounts. My previous accountant mainly handled year-end accounts and PAYE, so I currently don’t have a clear understanding of my overall financial position. Important context: This may require reviewing multiple years of accounts (potentially going back to around 2017), as I have had limited visibility over my finances over time.

I need help to review and clarify: -Director’s Loan Account (if applicable) -Salary vs dividends across previous years -Retained profits -How withdrawals have been treated over time -How the current company balance has been built -Current company cash position and what can be safely withdrawn The goal is to fully understand: -What funds in the company belong to me -What may be subject to tax -What (if anything) can be withdrawn without additional tax -How to structure things correctly going forward What I’m looking for: -UK-based accountant with experience in small Ltd companies -Strong understanding of director’s loan, PAYE, dividends and corporation tax -Experience reviewing multi-year accounts / clean-up work -Ability to explain things clearly (non-technical language) -This is a one-off project, not ongoing bookkeeping (for now) Please include: -Your experience with similar cases -What information you would need from me -Estimated timeline and cost Budget: Open to proposals Thank you!

Bookkeeping
Hi there Looking for someone to leave the bookkeeping and annual returns to for a small Ltd company consultancy business with annual returns of around £35,000-£40,000. Initially, advice would be required on reconciling -2-3 transactions where funds have been transferred to my personal account and -2-3 purchases that might not constitute an allowable expense. Going forward as I am also in full-time employment there will be very few occasions where withdrawals will be made. Perhaps once or twice a year only and advice would be required on the best way to deal with this. Essentially, I am hoping to find someone who I can send the business bank statements to and they will oversee the accounts and returns and ensure I am compliant. I have used the PPH suggested fee for this but please do submit proposals based on your annual fee to deal with the above and feel free to ask any questions. Thank you
