Expert in NHS pensions to give written advice
I am looking for an adviser with specific expertise in the NHS Pension Scheme to provide approximately one hour of written advice and a reasonable estimated valuation of a historic NHS pension. This is required in connection with an amicable divorce financial settlement. A formal CETV is being requested from NHS Pensions, but this may take some time to obtain, so we would like a sensible evidence-based estimate to work with in the meantime. Pension details The pension relates to my former husband’s employment as an NHS Band 5 Speech and Language Therapist. NHS employment started: 12 January 2009 NHS employment ended: 7 April 2011 Role: Band 5 Speech and Language Therapist Employment: NHS employee Scheme: Likely NHS Pension Scheme 2008 Section, subject to confirmation He has not worked for the NHS since April 2011. Unfortunately, he no longer has many of the administrative details from this employment, including his NHS pension number, personnel/payroll number or all of the addresses at which he lived during this period. He is currently trying to obtain his pension information and formal CETV from NHS Pensions. Advice required I would like a pension specialist to provide a short written opinion covering: 1. The likely NHS pension benefits accrued between 12 January 2009 and 7 April 2011, based on a Band 5 Speech and Language Therapist salary during that period. 2. An estimated current CETV/capital value of those benefits as at 2026, preferably with a reasonable range if an exact estimate is not possible. 3. The assumptions used in reaching the estimate. 4. Any significant factors that could cause the eventual formal NHS CETV to differ materially from the estimate. The purpose is not to replace the formal NHS CETV. It is simply to provide a reasonable independent working estimate so that our financial settlement can continue to progress while we wait for the official pension information. Please only respond if you have specific experience of the NHS Pension Scheme and/or valuing NHS defined benefit pensions.

Startup Accountant & Professional Director / Corporate Services
I am looking for an experienced and highly trustworthy UK accountant with startup and company-formation experience to support the establishment and ongoing financial management of InstaShoot, an early-stage on-demand photography and videography startup. I would like to find someone who can become a long-term financial partner to the business — initially helping establish the correct corporate/accounting structure and subsequently managing our accounts, compliance and financial reporting. Director & PSC Structure Due to restrictions within my current employment contract, I cannot personally hold certain formal company positions. I therefore need someone experienced in UK company structures, professional/nominee director services, beneficial ownership and PSC requirements who can advise on the appropriate lawful structure. I am not simply looking for someone willing to put their name on Companies House. I need a reputable professional who can assess my circumstances, explain the implications and establish a compliant structure. Ideally, you or your firm should also be able to provide professional director/corporate services where appropriate. Ongoing Accounting Support I am looking for support with areas including: * Company formation/restructuring * Companies House compliance * Corporation Tax and annual accounts * Bookkeeping oversight * Management accounts and cash-flow forecasting * VAT and payroll when required * Startup tax planning * Financial modelling * SEIS/EIS knowledge * Share/cap-table support alongside legal advisers * Investor-readiness and fundraising financial preparation Experience working with startups, technology companies, marketplaces or scalable service businesses would be particularly valuable. Fundraising experience is advantageous. Existing relationships with angel investors, accelerators, VCs or startup networks would be a welcome bonus, but investor introductions are not a requirement. Who I’m Looking For You should be: * Professionally qualified/appropriately regulated * Experienced with UK limited companies and startups * Highly trustworthy and commercially minded * Proactive and able to explain complex matters clearly * Interested in developing a long-term relationship with the business Please Answer When Applying 1. What accounting qualifications and professional memberships do you hold? 2. Do you or your firm provide professional/nominee director or corporate services? How does this normally work and what are your fees? 3. How would you structure a situation where a founder cannot personally act as director or hold certain formal company positions because of an employment contract? Please specifically address PSC and beneficial ownership requirements. 4. What experience do you have supporting early-stage startups? 5. Do you have experience with SEIS/EIS, financial modelling, fundraising or investor due diligence? Fees I would initially prefer a fixed-price consultation/setup engagement, followed by an affordable ongoing monthly accounting arrangement with the right professional. Please provide: * Initial setup/consultation fee * Ongoing monthly accounting fee * Separate professional director/corporate-services fees * Qualifications and relevant experience * Location and accountancy practice/firm details UK-based professionals with verifiable credentials and references are strongly preferred. I am looking for integrity, expertise and someone who can grow with the business over the long term.

I need a logo for my SAAS Based Software
New Logo Design for FinanceBee (UK Fintech App) We're looking for a talented, creative graphic designer to design a brand new logo for FinanceBee, a UK fintech SaaS platform that helps sole traders, landlords, and small businesses manage bookkeeping, receipt capture, payroll, and VAT/Making Tax Digital (MTD) compliance in one place.

Important: no AI-generated logos We already have an initial logo that was generated using AI, and we do not want to continue with that direction. We are specifically looking for original creative design work made by a human. Please do not submit AI generated concepts (for example output from Midjourney, DALL-E, Ideogram, or similar tools). We want to see your own design thinking and craftsmanship reflected in the concepts. What we need 3 to 4 distinct initial logo concepts/directions to choose from Once we select a preferred direction, a round of revisions to refine it based on our feedback A final, polished logo delivered in multiple formats and colour variations (see Deliverables) Deliverables Primary logo (full lockup with wordmark) Icon only version of the mark (suitable for a favicon and app icon) Colour version, single colour (black) version, and reversed/white version for dark backgrounds Source files (e.g. AI/EPS or Figma) plus exported PNG and SVG files Full image rights belong to ourselves once the engagement has closed.

Bookkeeper: two Xero instances, Shopify and marketplaces, UK VAT
We are a British food manufacturer running two companies with two Xero instances & two Shopify stores and several wholesale and marketplace sales channels for each company. We need a bookkeeper to own the books across both Xero instances and keep them current enough that our Monday management meeting runs off real numbers. This is an ongoing role, not a one-off clean-up. It currently takes around half a day a week. **Ongoing scope** - Manage both Xero instances, including the chart of accounts and tracking categories - Reconcile Shopify payouts on both stores (gross sales, fees, refunds, gateway settlement) - Reconcile all bank, card and payment gateway accounts: Shopify Payments, Shopify POS, Klarna, PayPal and PayPal POS. Payouts arrive net of fees and must be posted gross, with fees and refunds separated out - Reconcile each sales channel to its own clearing account so channel revenue, commission and payouts agree - Pull purchase documents from Hubdoc, code and publish them. Where paperwork is missing, source it yourself first from supplier portals, statements and email, then send us one list of the gaps you cannot close - Maintain the purchase ledger and reconcile supplier statements - Maintain the sales ledger, produce an aged debtor report for wholesale accounts, and send statements where accounts are 7 or more days overdue - Post month-end stock and cost of sales journals (opening stock, purchases, closing stock valuation, work in progress on product still in production) - Maintain prepayments, accruals and the fixed asset register with depreciation - Post payroll journals and reconcile PAYE, NI and pension control accounts - Reconcile intercompany transactions and balances between the two entities - Maintain UK VAT compliance under MTD. Returns are monthly on the main company, quarterly on the second. We sell in the UK only, so no export or OSS work, but you will handle reverse charge on overseas marketplace commission, the zero-rated versus standard-rated split on food lines, and standard-rated course and event income - Reconcile every balance sheet control account monthly and clear the suspense account to nil - Keep Xero accurate enough that we can pull the P&L, balance sheet, cash position and margin by channel straight from Xero reports at any time - Keep a clean year-end handover file for our accountant **Volumes** Main Xero instance, per month: - Bank transactions: around 510 off-peak, 975 in November and December - Sales invoices: around 130 off-peak, 170 in November and December - Purchase bills: around 85 off-peak, 145 in November and December - This instance is new, set up in the last month Second Xero instance, per month: - Around 50 transactions to reconcile, plus quarterly VAT returns - This instance needs catching up from 1 April 2026 to date, then keeping current **Standards** - Books current to within two working days - Everything reconciled to Thursday night, ready for the Friday pay run and the Monday management meeting - 99%+ coding accuracy - Month-end close and VAT figures ready to an agreed working day each month - Automate as much as can be done without compromising quality. We have used Xero JAX and Booke AI before with disastrous consequences for accuracy - Check the AI/automation output. Every automated posting needs a human accuracy check before it lands in the accounts - Flag anything unusual as you find it rather than at month end - Holiday cover is a nice to have. If you have no cover arrangement, we need at least four weeks' notice of any holiday **What we provide** - A coding brief showing what should be posted to which account - Onboarding, access, and answers to your questions as you get up to speed **Who we are looking for** - Xero certified advisor with multi-entity experience - Strong working knowledge of UK VAT and MTD, including marketplace and reverse charge treatment - E-commerce and marketplace reconciliation experience, ideally Shopify - A bookkeeping or accounting qualification (AAT, ICB, ACCA) is welcome but not essential if your VAT and reconciliation experience is strong - We work in Google Sheets. You must be able to access and work in our live shared documents securely - You must store passwords securely and maintain the highest standards of security throughout - You must hold professional liability insurance **Fee** Please ignore the project budget shown on this listing. We are looking for an ongoing monthly quote, not a one-off project fee. Quote a monthly retainer for the ongoing bookkeeping, and tell us what it assumes in terms of transaction volume. **To apply** AI-generated responses that simply repeat back this project brief are not welcome. Please respond with a short human written message with a clear quote and a quick outline of how exactly you will use automation to speed your work up.
