Sound familiar?
Not quite sure where your books or tax bill stand?
For most small business owners, the accounting sits somewhere between 'roughly sorted' and 'I should really look at that'. The longer it stays that way, the more it compounds — missed deadlines, unexpected tax bills, and a growing sense that your numbers are not working for you. An accountant who only surfaces at year-end does not help much with any of that.
- Your books are behind and you are not certain what your tax position actually is
- HMRC correspondence arrives and you are not always sure what it means or requires
- Your current accountant is slow to respond and you are largely managing things yourself
What sorted looks like
Clean, current books and a clear view of your numbers every month. Tax obligations tracked and handled before deadlines become pressure. An accountant who picks up the phone and gives you a straight answer the same day you ask. That is what the service is built to deliver.
- Current books and management accounts every month, with no chasing required
- Corporation tax and self-assessment handled well ahead of any HMRC deadline
- Questions answered the day you ask them — not at the next annual review
- KPI dashboards and forecasts available when you need to make a commercial decision
How clients describe working with us
OD Accountants has been serving UK businesses for over a decade. These are verified Google reviews from clients who have been with the firm for multiple years.
The service from OD has been excellent, as has their advice. It's great to have access to a financial team who can guide us with such confidence and seamlessly integrate with our internal team. We always feel well-informed and confident about our financial processes and data. Highly recommend.
My other-half introduced me to Niall at OD Accountants and I have to say my finances are so much the better for it. Unlike my previous Accountants, Niall is far more hands-on, available for advice and able to care for me as an individual, rather than a faceless client. His fees are very reasonable and the money he has saved me more than covers them. If you need an Accountant who cares, Niall and OD Chartered Management Accountants are the way to go.
What your fixed fee actually covers
The monthly fee is not just for year-end accounts. Here is what you get as standard across the core service.
Books that stay current
Your bookkeeping is handled through cloud accounting software — Xero and other platforms — so your records are current rather than reconstructed at year-end. Payroll runs and pension auto-enrolment are included where required, and your VAT returns are prepared and filed on time.
Included as standardTax handled before deadlines
Corporation tax and personal self-assessment are both in scope. Your liabilities are calculated and communicated well ahead of any filing deadline, so there are no last-minute surprises. Companies House confirmation statements and statutory filings are handled directly under the ACSP regime.
Fixed fee, no surprisesManagement accounts every month
Monthly or quarterly management accounts with KPI dashboards give you a current view of your numbers rather than a historical one. Reports are formatted for management teams, banks, or funders as required. Strategic forecasting and virtual FD input are available when commercial decisions arise.
Cloud-delivered reportingBusinesses of all kinds, served well
From start-ups and sole traders to growing SMEs, the reviews below reflect a cross-section of the clients OD Accountants works with.
Years of Service, Competitive Fees
“I've been there for years and Niall and his team go above and beyond the duties to provide accounting services but also general advices. They are always available if you need anything while charging very competitive prices. I could not recommend them enough.”
Welcoming and Responsive for New Businesses
“As a new start up and having never dealt with an accountant, Niall at OD Accountants has been very welcoming and supportive. All our prior queries and issues have been resolved, and he is always available to meet the needs of our team.”
Supportive, Clear, and Always Available
“Niall and his team are supportive, clear and directional accountants who have supported our small business staff up. They're always on the end of the phone to advise and assist and provide a top service for our accounting needs. Plus they're just nice people which helps too!!”
What makes the firm different
There are a lot of accounting firms to choose from. These are the three things that clients consistently point to when explaining why they stay.
Cloud first, not cloud optional
The firm is built around modern cloud accounting software and best-of-breed SaaS integrations — not a legacy desktop practice that added an online portal. That means your books, KPI dashboards, and management reports are available in real time, not assembled manually at year-end.
Strategic finance, not just compliance
Founder Niall O'Driscoll FCMA, CGMA spent over a decade in commercial finance and freelance restructure work before founding OD Accountants — including listed companies in the UK and overseas. That depth of commercial experience is available to SMEs that would not normally be able to access it.
Hands-on across London and Somerset
Two offices — Suite 310, The Pillbox in Bethnal Green and Mendip Court in Wells, Somerset — with cloud-based delivery for clients anywhere in the UK. Verified Google reviews going back over a decade consistently describe the team as hands-on, responsive, and available when needed.
How it works
Most clients are up and running within a week or two. The process is straightforward and we handle the transition from your previous accountant.

We handle the onboarding
Your accounts are migrated onto the cloud platform, your previous accountant is notified, and any outstanding filings are identified and scheduled. You do not need to manage the transition yourself — that is included.
Ongoing, with no surprises
Monthly bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll, and tax deadlines are all handled to a fixed schedule. You will know your tax position well ahead of any deadline, and questions get answered the day you ask them.
