Sound familiar?
Running a Nottingham business without a proper handle on the numbers?
A lot of small business owners know their revenue. Fewer know their margin, their real tax position, or whether their books are actually up to date. The accounts get done at year-end, the VAT return gets filed in a hurry, and the management information that would actually help you make decisions never quite materialises.
- Year-end arrives and the books are months behind, creating a scramble
- No clear view of the tax bill until it is too late to plan around it
- Payroll, VAT and Companies House filings treated as separate problems with no joined-up oversight
What sorted looks like
Cloud accounting changes the timeline. Your books are current, your tax position is visible, and compliance deadlines are managed before they become problems — not after.
- Books reconciled and current every month, no year-end catch-up required
- Corporation tax and self-assessment liability visible well before the deadline
- Payroll, VAT, confirmation statements and annual accounts all handled by one firm under the ACSP regime
- Competitive fixed fees — the tax savings clients report typically cover the cost of the engagement
What Nottingham SME clients say
OD Accountants works with businesses across sectors — retail, hospitality, consultants, start-ups and service companies — all of them managed remotely via cloud accounting.
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 Nottingham SME actually needs
From day-to-day bookkeeping to management reporting, corporate tax and virtual FD support — one fixed fee, one point of contact, everything delivered through cloud accounting software.
Clean Books and Compliance Sorted
Bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns, statutory accounts and Companies House filings handled in full. OD Accountants is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider, so confirmation statements and statutory submissions are all in scope. You do not need to chase multiple providers.
Included as standardTax Visibility, Not Year-End Surprises
Corporation tax and self-assessment planned throughout the year, not filed in a rush at the deadline. You will know your liability well in advance, with time to act on it. Personal tax for directors is handled alongside the company — one firm, joined-up view.
Corporate and personal taxManagement Reporting for Growing Businesses
Monthly management accounts, KPI dashboards and cash-flow forecasting built on cloud accounting software — the kind of finance information normally produced by a full-time FD. Useful for internal decisions, bank reporting and funding applications. Available as a standalone or as part of a virtual FD engagement.
Advisory and vFDClients who have stayed for years
Verified Google reviews go back over a decade. Different sectors, different sizes — the consistent theme is availability, accuracy and fees that pay for themselves.
Years Together, Always Above And Beyond
“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, Supportive And Always Available
“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.”
Handled A Tricky Digital Nomad Client
“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…”
What makes this firm different from most accountants
Not a compliance-only practice. Not a faceless portal. A chartered management accounting firm built around modern software and long-term client relationships.
Cloud First, Not Cloud Capable
The firm is built around modern accounting software and best-of-breed SaaS integrations — not bolted on. That means your books are always current, your reporting is automated and your data is accessible to you in real time. No waiting until year-end to find out where you stand.
FD-Level Thinking for SME Budgets
Founder Niall O'Driscoll FCMA, CGMA spent 10+ years as a freelance accountant specialising in restructures and turnarounds, including listed companies. That commercial depth is available to Nottingham SMEs that would not normally access it. Management reporting, forecasting and strategic finance input — without the cost of a full-time hire.
Responsive, Not Just Available in Theory
Google reviews going back over a decade describe the team as hands-on, always available and willing to go above and beyond. That is not a marketing line — it is what clients with 7, 10 and 11 years' tenure write unprompted. Questions get answered the day you ask them.
Up and running in four steps
The onboarding process is designed to be low-effort on your side. Most clients are operational on cloud accounting within a week of the discovery call.
Book a discovery call
A short call — no obligation, no sales pressure. You explain what the business does and what is currently not working. You will leave knowing exactly what happens next and what it will cost.
Receive a fixed-fee proposal
A clear proposal, covering everything that is included, at a fixed monthly fee. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Review it at your own pace — there is no countdown.
Onboarding and data migration
The team handles the transition from your current accountant or software. If your books are behind, they are caught up as part of the process. You do not need to prepare anything before you start.
Your finance function, running quietly
Once live, your books are reconciled monthly, your compliance deadlines are managed and your management information arrives on schedule. The parts of running a business that were draining time and causing low-level anxiety are simply no longer your problem.
“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!!”
Things Nottingham businesses usually ask first
Do you actually work with Nottingham businesses, or is this just a location page?
OD Accountants delivers its services remotely via cloud accounting software, which means location is not a constraint. Clients across the UK are onboarded and managed without needing to be near a physical office. A Nottingham-based SME gets exactly the same service as a London client — the same software stack, the same response times, the same access to Niall and the team.
What does it cost and what is included in the fee?
Fees are fixed monthly and scoped to what your business actually needs — not a one-size bundle with services you will never use. Clients consistently describe pricing as very reasonable, and many note that the tax savings generated more than cover the cost of the engagement. Indicative figures are discussed on the discovery call rather than published, because a sole trader and a 10-person limited company have very different requirements.
My books are a bit of a mess. Is that going to be a problem?
It is the most common situation when a new client comes across. The onboarding process includes a catch-up phase to bring the books current before ongoing work begins. The cost and timeline for that catch-up are confirmed upfront so there are no surprises. Most clients arrive in some state of disarray and leave the onboarding process considerably less worried.
Is there a long-term contract or a minimum commitment?
There is no long-term contract. If the engagement is not working after three months, you leave with clean, up-to-date books and nothing further owed. The firm's client tenure — with multiple clients at 7, 10 and 11 years — is the result of the service being worth staying for, not a contractual obligation.
Can you handle both the limited company accounts and my personal self-assessment?
Yes, and it is generally more efficient to have both handled by the same firm. Director salary, dividends and personal tax interact directly with the company position — keeping them together means the planning is joined up. Corporation tax, personal self-assessment, payroll and the annual accounts are all in scope under one engagement.
How far in advance will I know my tax bill?
That depends on how current your books are, but with monthly bookkeeping running properly, the corporation tax position is visible throughout the year — not just when the accountant starts preparing the return. For most clients, the liability is clear several months before the payment deadline, which leaves time to plan around it rather than simply settle it.
Stop managing your finances on catch-up.
Fixed fees, cloud-first workflows, chartered management accountant qualification and a team that answers questions the day you ask them. No contract, no lock-in.
