Sound familiar?
Running a limited company and winging the finance side?
Most directors are competent at their trade and considerably less confident about what their accountant is actually doing. Year-end comes around, a bill arrives, and it is not always clear how it was calculated or whether it could have been lower. Statutory deadlines pile up quietly in the background. The books are never quite current enough to make a proper decision from.
- Corporation Tax bill arrives with little warning and no time to plan around it
- Companies House deadlines and confirmation statements managed reactively, not proactively
- No real view of monthly performance — just a year-end set of accounts twelve months too late
What a properly run finance function looks like
The compliance is handled on time. The tax position is visible well before the deadline. And if you want more than that — proper management accounts, KPI dashboards, forecasts — the infrastructure is already there.
- Corporation Tax calculated and planned well ahead of the payment date
- Companies House filings managed proactively under the ACSP regime — nothing missed
- Monthly or quarterly management accounts giving you a current view of the business
- Fixed fees agreed upfront — no surprise invoices at year-end
What limited company clients say
Directors who switched to OD Accountants typically describe the same thing: more visibility, less uncertainty, and an accountant who is actually available when needed.
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…
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.
Everything a limited company actually needs
Compliance handled as standard. Strategic finance available when it becomes useful. All delivered through cloud accounting software with a chartered firm behind it.
Compliance Done and Filed
Statutory accounts, Corporation Tax returns, payroll, VAT, self-assessment for directors and Companies House filings — all handled directly as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider. Nothing slips, nothing is late, and you are not chasing us to find out where things stand.
Included as standardManagement Accounts and KPI Reporting
Monthly or quarterly management accounts with KPI dashboards, giving you a current view of the business rather than last year's picture. Formatted for internal use or for third parties — banks, funders, investors — when you need them to understand the numbers quickly.
Available from month oneVirtual Finance Director Support
For directors who want more than compliance, OD Accountants can act as an outsourced finance director — cash-flow forecasting, scenario modelling, strategic commercial input, M&A support. The level of finance support normally reserved for businesses large enough to hire a full-time FD, without the full-time hire.
For growth-stage businessesConsistently said across 11 years of clients
Verified Google reviews go back over a decade, covering start-ups, established SMEs, hospitality businesses and directors with non-standard situations. The pattern is consistent.
Well-Informed and Confident About Financial Processes
“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.”
Years On, Always Available, Competitive Prices
“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.”
Supportive, Clear and Always on the Phone
“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!!”
Why limited companies choose us over a general practice
There are thousands of accountants willing to file your year-end accounts. Fewer bring chartered management accounting depth, cloud-first infrastructure and a genuine understanding of how a growing limited company actually works.
Your Tax Bill Visible in Advance
Chartered management accountants are trained to look forward, not just back. Corporation Tax is calculated as part of ongoing management reporting, not revealed at year-end. You will know your liability in time to do something about it — whether that is planning a pension contribution, timing a purchase or simply not being surprised.
Companies House Filings Done Properly
OD Accountants is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), which means Companies House filings are handled directly by the firm under the ACSP regime. Confirmation statements, statutory submissions and annual accounts are all in scope — managed proactively, not chased at the last minute.
Cloud-First, Not Software-Agnostic
The firm is built around modern cloud accounting platforms and best-of-breed SaaS integrations — not a legacy desktop setup with a portal bolted on. That means real-time data, cleaner books and management information that is actually current when you open it. Founder Niall O'Driscoll FCMA, CGMA has 10+ years of restructure and turnaround experience, including listed companies — that depth informs how the firm looks at a growing limited company's numbers.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most new clients are onboarded within a week. The process is designed to be low-effort on your side — a conversation, a fixed-fee proposal, and then the firm takes it from there.
Book a Discovery Call
A short call to understand your company's situation — turnover, current setup, what is working and what is not. No preparation needed on your part. You will leave the call knowing exactly what happens next and what it will cost.
Receive a Fixed-Fee Proposal
A clear written proposal covering exactly what is included and at what cost. No ambiguity about scope, no variable fees depending on how many emails you send. If the proposal does not suit, nothing is owed.
We Handle the Transition
If you are switching from another accountant, OD Accountants requests the professional clearance and prior-year records directly. If your books are behind, catch-up work is scoped separately and quoted in advance. You do not need to do much at all.
Your Finance Function Running Properly
Filings go out on time. Your tax position is visible month to month. Questions get answered the day you ask them. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“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.”
Things limited company directors usually ask
Do you handle everything a limited company needs, or just the year-end accounts?
Everything. Statutory accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll, auto-enrolment, VAT returns, Making Tax Digital compliance, director self-assessments and Companies House filings are all in scope. Management accounts and virtual FD support are available on top of that if useful. The intention is to run your finance function, not just produce a set of accounts once a year.
What does it cost and what is included in the fee?
Fees are fixed and agreed before any work begins — you will not receive a variable invoice at year-end. The exact figure depends on the size and complexity of your business, which is why we quote after a short call rather than publishing a rate card. Clients consistently describe the pricing as competitive and note that the tax savings tend to more than cover the cost.
My books are behind and my previous accountant was not great. Is that a problem?
No, and it is not unusual. Catch-up work is scoped and quoted separately at the outset so there are no surprises. OD Accountants requests the professional clearance and prior-year records from your previous firm directly, which removes most of the administrative effort on your side. Most clients arrive with books in some state of disarray and leave with considerably less to worry about.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. There is no minimum term and no exit penalty. If you decide after a few months that it is not the right fit, you leave with clean, up-to-date books and nothing owed beyond work completed. Most clients stay for years — the Google review archive goes back over a decade — but that is because the service is working, not because leaving is difficult.
Can you take on a limited company with a more complicated structure — overseas directors, multiple entities, or non-standard arrangements?
Yes. OD Accountants has experience with international setups, overseas-based founders and clients that other practices find awkward to take on. Founder Niall O'Driscoll spent 10+ years in freelance restructure and turnaround work, including listed companies in the UK and overseas, so complicated corporate structures are familiar territory rather than an exception.
When will I actually know what my Corporation Tax bill is going to be?
Well before the payment deadline. With management accounts running monthly or quarterly, your tax position is modelled as part of the ongoing reporting rather than calculated at the end of the year. That means you have time to consider timing decisions — pension contributions, equipment purchases, dividend planning — rather than receiving a number and simply paying it.
Stop guessing what your tax bill will be. Know in advance.
OD Accountants runs the finance function for UK limited companies — compliance handled, tax visible, management information current. Fixed fees, no contract, same-day replies.
