Advisory & Growth

Launch your business on solid ground

Company formation, HMRC registration, accounting software setup, and everything you need to start trading with confidence, done properly from day one.

Company formation, HMRC registration and software setup

I handle the full setup so you can focus on building your business, not Googling how to register for PAYE.

Company Formation

Limited company incorporation with Companies House, articles, share structure, and all filings handled.

HMRC Registrations

Corporation tax, VAT, PAYE, all registrations submitted correctly so you're ready to trade.

Accounting Software Setup

QuickBooks, Xero, or FreeAgent configured for your business, chart of accounts, bank feeds, and integrations.

Structure Advice

Sole trader vs limited company, salary vs dividends, clear advice on the best setup for your situation.

Why business setup decisions matter from day one

Getting the foundations right saves you time, money, and headaches later. The wrong structure or a missed registration can cost you thousands.

Start right, save later

The right structure and registrations from day one, avoiding costly changes later.

Ready to trade immediately

Everything set up and ready to gom invoicing, banking, tax registrations.

One point of contact

Instead of juggling multiple providers, you have one person who handles everything.

How the new business setup process works

From first conversation to fully set up, typically done within a couple of weeks.

1

Discovery call

We discuss your business plans and I recommend the best structure, registrations, and tools.

2

Formation & registration

I handle Companies House incorporation and all HMRC registrations.

3

Software setup & handover

Your accounting software configured, bank feeds connected, and a walkthrough so you know how to use it.

Company setup software and digital tools

This isn't a traditional practice. I built Lean Ledger to be the kind of accountant I'd want as a founder myself, digital-first, clear, and proactive.

100% digitalNo paper, no post, no office visits. Everything via cloud tools and video calls.

Tech-native accountantI code in Python and automate where it counts, so you get speed without sacrificing accuracy.

No jargon, everYou'll understand every line in your accounts. I explain things like a founder, not a textbook.

Proactive, not reactiveI flag issues early and plan ahead, not just file what you give me at the last minute.
