Sound familiar?
Running a limited company on guesswork?
Most limited company directors know, roughly, that accounts are due — but not exactly when, how much Corporation Tax they owe, or whether their Companies House confirmation is up to date. The compliance side of running a limited company is not complicated, but it does require someone to actually keep on top of it. Left to pile up, it costs more to sort and occasionally triggers penalties that were entirely avoidable.
- Statutory accounts filed late, or rushed at the last minute each year
- No real view of the Corporation Tax liability until the accountant calls in autumn
- Management information that amounts to a bank balance and not much else
What a well-run company looks like
Clean books maintained throughout the year. Statutory accounts prepared well ahead of the filing deadline. Your tax position visible before HMRC makes it urgent. And if you want more than compliance — management accounts, KPI reporting, forecasting — that is available too.
- Statutory accounts prepared early, filed on time, every year without chasing
- Corporation Tax calculated and communicated the moment the year closes
- Monthly or quarterly management accounts showing margin, cash and KPIs
- Competitive fixed fees — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices mid-year
What limited company clients say
OD Accountants works with directors across a range of sectors — from start-ups to established SMEs — and keeps them informed, compliant and in control.
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.
Everything a limited company actually needs
From day-to-day bookkeeping through to statutory accounts, Corporation Tax and management reporting — delivered via cloud accounting software and a chartered firm that picks up the phone.
Compliance, Filed on Time
Statutory accounts, Corporation Tax returns, VAT filings and Companies House submissions — all handled directly under the ACSP regime, with deadlines tracked and nothing left to the last minute. You will know what is due and when, well before HMRC or Companies House ask for it. No chasing required.
Included as standardManagement Accounts and KPI Reporting
Monthly or quarterly management accounts give you a proper view of how the business is performing — margin, cash position, key metrics — rather than waiting for the year-end to find out. Reporting is built around cloud accounting software, so the numbers are current rather than three months out of date. Suitable for management teams, funders and lenders.
Cloud-first deliveryVirtual Finance Director Support
For directors who want more than compliance, OD Accountants can act as an outsourced finance director — bringing strategic finance input, forecasting and commercial advice without the cost of a full-time hire. Founder Niall O'Driscoll FCMA, CGMA spent 10+ years on freelance restructure and turnaround work, including listed companies. That depth of experience is available to smaller businesses that would not ordinarily have access to it.
Available on requestAcross sectors, over many years
Clients range from newly incorporated start-ups to long-established SMEs. Several have been with the firm for over a decade — which is, frankly, the clearest signal available.
Welcoming and Supportive From Day One
“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.”
Helped Set Up the Company Properly
“Been with OD Accountants for over a year now. Niall and the team are brilliant. They helped me set up a company and get everything I needed in place to run my business. I'm a tricky client due to my 'digital nomad' status, but their advice…”
Clear, Directional Advice for Small Business
“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!!”
A chartered firm built for the way SMEs actually work
Cloud-first workflows, ACSP-registered for Companies House, and a founder with 10+ years of restructure and turnaround experience — available to limited companies that want more than a compliance tick-box.
Real-time numbers, not year-end surprises
The firm runs on cloud accounting software, so your books are current rather than reconstructed retrospectively each April. Corporation Tax can be estimated before the year closes. Cash-flow problems are visible before they become urgent. That is how modern accounting should work.
Companies House filings handled directly
OD Accountants is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), which means confirmation statements and statutory submissions are filed directly by the firm under the ACSP regime. No intermediary, no delays caused by passing paperwork through a third party. It is one fewer thing to track.
Chartered depth, without the large-firm distance
Founder Niall O'Driscoll is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (FCMA, CGMA) — a qualification earned through 10+ years of freelance restructure and turnaround work, including listed UK and overseas companies. That level of commercial finance experience sits behind every limited company engagement, including straightforward ones.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients are fully onboarded within a couple of weeks. The process is designed to require as little from you as possible, particularly at the start.
Book a discovery call
A 20-30 minute call to understand your company, your current setup and what you actually need. You will leave the call knowing exactly what is proposed, what it costs, and what happens next — which is more than most people know going in.
Receive a fixed-fee proposal
A written proposal setting out the scope and the monthly fee — no hourly rates, no vague estimates. You review it, ask any questions, and confirm if it looks right. Nothing starts until you are comfortable with the numbers.
We handle the handover
If you are switching from another accountant, the firm manages the transfer of records and authority letters on your behalf. If your books need catching up, that is scoped and quoted separately before any work begins. You do not need to do much — just share access.
Your accounts, running properly
Books maintained throughout the year. Deadlines tracked. Tax visible before it becomes urgent. If you want management accounts or FD input, that is layered in as needed. The goal is that your limited company finance function runs without you having to think about it.
“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.”
What most limited company directors ask first
Do you handle everything a limited company needs — accounts, Corporation Tax, VAT and Companies House?
Yes. Statutory accounts preparation, Corporation Tax returns, VAT filings, Making Tax Digital compliance and Companies House confirmation statements are all within scope. OD Accountants is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), so Companies House submissions are made directly by the firm. If you also want management accounts, payroll, or virtual FD input, those are available as additional services.
What does it cost, and what is included?
Fees are fixed monthly amounts, scoped to your specific company — size, transaction volume, VAT registration, payroll headcount and any advisory work all affect the figure. Clients consistently describe pricing as very reasonable, and several note that the tax savings more than cover the annual fee. A written proposal with a confirmed monthly figure is provided before any engagement starts, so there are no surprises mid-year.
My books are behind. Is that a problem?
No, and it is not unusual. Directors often come to OD Accountants having let records fall behind — sometimes significantly. The catch-up work is scoped and quoted separately before anything starts, so you know the cost upfront. Once the books are current, the ongoing engagement keeps them that way. The firm handles the transition from a previous accountant, including authority letters and record transfers.
Is there a minimum term or a contract I am locked into?
No long-term contract. If the arrangement is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed beyond the work completed. The expectation is that clients stay because the service is worth it — not because they signed something that makes leaving inconvenient. Several clients have been with the firm for over a decade, which is a reasonable indication of how that usually plays out.
Can you act as our virtual finance director as well as handling compliance?
Yes. For limited companies that want more than statutory compliance, OD Accountants can provide management accounts, KPI dashboards, cash-flow forecasting, scenario modelling and FD-level commercial input. The virtual finance director service is designed for growing businesses that want the kind of strategic finance support normally available only to companies large enough to employ a full-time FD. It is scoped and priced separately from the core compliance package.
When will I know what my Corporation Tax bill is going to be?
With cloud accounting running throughout the year, a reliable estimate of the Corporation Tax liability is available as soon as the accounting period closes — not weeks or months later. For companies with a reasonable volume of transactions, a draft position is often visible before the year end, which allows for planning rather than just payment. The final figure is confirmed once the statutory accounts are prepared, well before the HMRC payment deadline.
Stop managing your accounts around your business.
OD Accountants handles the compliance, keeps the books current and gives you a clear view of your tax position — on a fixed monthly fee, with no lock-in.
