Sound familiar?
Running a limited company shouldn't mean chasing your accountant.
For many limited company directors, the accountant relationship looks like this: a flurry of emails near the year-end deadline, a Corporation Tax bill that arrives later than it should, and no clear picture of what the business owes HMRC until the return is filed. The accounts are done — technically — but nothing else is. There is no monthly report, no tax forecast, and no one picking up the phone between April and January.
- ✕ Corporation Tax bill lands as a surprise rather than a forecast figure
- ✕ Statutory accounts filed last-minute, with no management view in between
- ✕ Companies House deadlines and confirmation statements managed manually, reactively
What a cloud-first accountant looks like
OD Accountants is built around modern cloud accounting software — which means your books are current, your tax position is visible throughout the year, and everything from Companies House to Corporation Tax is handled without chasing. The compliance is covered; the strategic layer is there if you want it.
- ✓ Corporation Tax liability visible months before the deadline, not after
- ✓ Monthly management accounts available so the year-end holds no surprises
- ✓ All Companies House filings and confirmation statements handled as a registered ACSP
- ✓ Fixed fees — no hourly billing, no unexpected invoices mid-year
What limited company clients say
From company formation to ongoing accounting and virtual FD support — a range of limited company directors, many of them long-term clients.
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…
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.
Everything a limited company needs, online.
Core compliance, management reporting and optional virtual FD support — all delivered remotely through cloud accounting software, with one fixed monthly fee.
Compliance Done and Filed
Statutory accounts, Corporation Tax, VAT returns, Making Tax Digital, and Companies House filings — all handled directly by the firm under the ACSP regime. Nothing falls through the gaps, and you know your tax position well before HMRC sends a reminder.
Included as standardMonthly Management Reporting
Monthly or quarterly management accounts with KPI dashboards, historical and forecast views — ready for your own use or for banks and funders. Most limited company accountants provide a year-end pack. This is a running picture of the business.
Advisory add-onVirtual Finance Director Support
For directors who want strategic finance input rather than just compliance, OD Accountants can act as an outsourced FD — commercial advice, cash-flow modelling, profitability analysis and M&A support, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Available where neededConsistent feedback across many clients.
Clients across start-ups, digital businesses, hospitality and professional services — many of them multi-year relationships still active today.
Seamless Integration With Internal Finance Team
“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.”
Hands-On, Not A Faceless Client
“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.”
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!!”
Not just compliance. A finance function.
Most online accountants file the return and move on. OD Accountants is built differently — cloud-first, chartered, and available when you actually need them.
Real-time books, not year-end panic
The firm is built around cloud accounting software and best-of-breed SaaS integrations — which means your data is current throughout the year, not reconstructed in January. Your Corporation Tax liability is a figure you know, not a figure that arrives. That is the practical difference between a cloud-first workflow and a traditional one.
Companies House handled as a registered ACSP
OD Accountants is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider, which means confirmation statements and statutory Companies House submissions are handled directly by the firm under the ACSP regime. One less thing to track, and no risk of a missed filing date going unnoticed.
Chartered management accounting depth
Founder Niall O'Driscoll FCMA, CGMA spent 10+ years as a freelance accountant specialising in restructures and turnarounds, including listed UK and overseas companies. That background comes into the firm's everyday work — so if your limited company ever needs more than a clean set of accounts, there is someone who already knows what to do.
Up and running in four steps.
Most clients are set up within a week of the first call. The process is straightforward — and you do very little of the work.
Book a discovery call
A short call to understand your company structure, what is currently in place, and what you actually need. No preparation required on your side. You will leave knowing exactly what a fixed-fee engagement would look like.
Receive a fixed-fee proposal
A clear proposal covering what is included, what the monthly fee is, and what happens at year-end. No hourly rates, no ambiguity about scope. If you have questions, they are answered before you sign anything.
Onboard — we handle the transfer
If you are switching from another accountant, OD Accountants handles the professional clearance and data migration. If your books are behind, a catch-up scope is agreed upfront. Either way, the effort on your side is minimal.
Run your business
Statutory accounts, Corporation Tax, Companies House filings, VAT returns and monthly management reporting are handled. Your tax position is visible throughout the year. Questions get answered the day you ask them. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“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.”
Things limited company directors usually ask
Can you handle everything a limited company needs, or just the year-end accounts?
The full scope is available: statutory accounts, Corporation Tax, Companies House filings and confirmation statements, VAT returns and Making Tax Digital, payroll and auto-enrolment, monthly management reporting, and virtual FD support where it is useful. Year-end only is an option if that is all you need — but most clients find the monthly management account layer worth having once they see what is possible on a cloud-first platform.
What does it cost, and what is included in the fee?
Fees are fixed monthly and set out clearly in the proposal before you commit to anything. What is included depends on the scope you agree — compliance-only, compliance plus management reporting, or a full virtual FD arrangement. Clients in Google reviews describe the fees as very reasonable, and note that the tax savings routinely exceed the cost of the engagement. The exact figure is quoted after the discovery call, once the scope is agreed.
My books are behind and my previous accountant left things in a state. Can you still take me on?
Yes — this is not unusual. A catch-up scope is agreed upfront so you know what the cost is before any work starts. OD Accountants handles the professional clearance with your previous firm and the data migration into a cloud platform. Once the books are current, a fixed monthly fee takes over. The starting point is rarely as bad as it looks once someone experienced reviews it.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. There is no minimum term beyond an initial three-month period to allow the relationship to settle properly. After that, you give a month's notice if you want to leave. You take your books, your data, and anything filed on your behalf — all of it is yours.
Do you work with limited companies that are based outside London, or run entirely remotely?
All of OD Accountants' work is delivered online via cloud accounting software, so geography is not a constraint. The firm has clients across the UK, including overseas-based directors with UK limited companies. The London office in Bethnal Green and a second office in Wells, Somerset are available for in-person meetings where useful, but the day-to-day relationship works entirely remotely.
When will I know what my Corporation Tax bill is going to be?
On a cloud-first platform with current books, a reliable estimate is available well before the year-end — not as a formal forecast until the accounts are prepared, but as a working figure you can plan around. For clients on the management reporting service, tax visibility is built into the monthly numbers. The aim is that no tax bill arrives as a surprise.
Less chasing your accountant. More running your business.
