Small Business Accountants for UK Entrepreneurs

Running a small business comes with its fair share of excitement and, let’s be real, a whole lot of challenges. From chasing tax deadlines to making sure you’re not overpaying HMRC, the admin side can get overwhelming quickly. That’s why having a reliable small business accountant is more than just a nice-to-have, it’s essential.

At GoForma, we support small business owners, freelancers, and contractors who are looking for more than basic box-ticking or just someone to submit returns. Our focus is on helping you reduce your tax bill, stay compliant, and get practical advice so you can grow your business with real confidence.

Whether you’re just starting and need some guidance, or you’re considering switching because your current accountant isn’t cutting it, we’re here to help. You’ll get proactive advice, transparent pricing, and year-round support. No confusing jargon, no hidden costs, just reliable accounting that fits your business needs.

Our accounting services for small business owners:

Running a small business isn’t exactly a walk in the park. There’s always a million things happening at once. Trying to handle it all yourself? That eats up precious time you could be using to actually grow. That’s why we offer a full range of accounting services, all built to simplify your workload and support your business’s success.

1. Business Structure Advice

Deciding whether to operate as a sole trader, form a partnership, or set up a limited company? It’s a crucial choice - your tax bill, personal liability, and how you draw income all hang in the balance. We’ll walk you through the key differences and recommend the structure that aligns with your business goals, so you can make an informed move right from the start.

2. Self-Assessment Tax Returns

Filing your Self-Assessment isn’t exactly anyone’s idea of a good time. Why waste your energy stressing over paperwork and deadlines? We handle the entire process for you, making sure your return is accurate, submitted on time, and that you benefit from every allowance available. You’ll only pay what you owe, nothing extra.

3. Small Business Bookkeeping (via FreeAgent)

With FreeAgent, we keep your books organised, invoices sorted, and expenses tracked. You get a clear, up-to-date view of your cash flow, so you can make confident decisions.

4. Company Formation

Looking to set up a limited company? We’ll take care of the company registration with Companies House, handle all the setup details, and get your FreeAgent account up and running. That way, you can stay focused on building your business, not buried in paperwork.

5. Payroll Services

Look, payroll shouldn’t be a headache. We take care of everything from processing payments, sorting deductions, and filing those all-important HMRC reports. Your employees get paid on time, every time, and you don’t have to get bogged down in the details.

7. VAT Registration & Returns

If your business reaches the VAT threshold or if you decide to register voluntarily, we’ll manage the VAT registration process for you. We’ll also handle preparing and submitting your VAT returns, so you stay compliant and avoid any unnecessary penalties. You can focus on running your business, knowing the VAT side is sorted.

8. Business Advisory & Growth Support

Our team of small business tax accountants dives into tax strategies, cash flow planning, and forecasting to make sure you’re making the smartest moves for your business. We work alongside you, helping you spot opportunities and avoid pitfalls, so your business stays on track and keeps growing.

Our accounting package includes FreeAgent, one of the UK’s top accounting platforms. We’ll handle the setup, connect it directly to your business bank account, and guide you through the essentials.
