The cost of getting this wrong

Bad accounting doesn't announce itself. It shows up as a bigger bill later.

Most business owners don't find out their accountant isn't working for them until something goes wrong: a penalty, a bill three times the quote, or a decision made on numbers that were already out of date.

£100+

Late filing penalties

HMRC's initial penalty for a late Self Assessment or Company Tax Return, before daily and tax-geared charges stack on top.

"Just one more thing"

The invoice that keeps growing

An hourly-rate accountant has no reason to keep your bill down. Every email, every question, every extra schedule: it's billable.

Weeks

Time lost to admin

Hours spent chasing receipts, reconciling spreadsheets and re-explaining your business to an accountant who barely knows it.

Guesswork

Decisions on stale numbers

If your accounts are three months behind, so is every decision you make from them: pricing, hiring, cash flow, the lot.

Life with REYS

Support that's actually there when you need it.

You'll always know where things stand, with an accountant who explains things properly and actually picks up the phone.

  • Quick, plain-English answers whenever you actually need them.
  • Cloud accounting software that shows where you stand today, not where you stood at the last quarter end.
  • A named accountant who knows your business, not a rotating queue of juniors.
  • Proactive tax planning, so decisions get made before the deadline, not in a panic on it.
  • Hours back in your week that used to go on admin and chasing paperwork.

Reviews

What our clients say.

A client on working with REYS, in their own words.

Super easy to work with. Took care of everything A-Z, didn't have to lift a finger, explained every step of the way. Couldn't recommend enough.

Brian O'Neill

Highly recommend accounting services, run by a founder who responds via WhatsApp when things need urgent attention, which saves multiple emails! I could only praise the services and their human element that they give to processes which are often arduous and frustrating, so they make that a lot easier.

Jessica Weston-Davies

Amazing service! Before we even partnered, Rehan reached out to let me know I had an overdue confirmation statement, which I had absolutely no idea about. That moment alone showed me, from day one, how much he genuinely cares about accounting and supporting small businesses.

I would've been fined if he hadn't flagged it. And to this day, I still have no idea how taxes work but that's absolutely fine! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an effective, straightforward, no-fuss service.
