Still guessing what your tax bill will be?
Most small business owners in Nottingham find out their Corporation Tax or Self Assessment bill far too late to do anything useful about it. By the time the figure lands, the cash is already spoken for elsewhere. Tax is not complicated to manage well — it just requires the books to be current and someone who is actually looking at the numbers in advance.
- Year-end tax bill arrives as a surprise with no time to plan
- Self Assessment left until January with receipts still unsorted
- VAT returns missed or filed late, triggering unnecessary HMRC penalties
What tax handled properly looks like
Current books mean your tax position is visible month by month. Deadlines are tracked, not chased. HMRC correspondence is handled before it becomes a problem.
- Corporation Tax liability calculated in advance — no year-end shocks
- Self Assessment prepared and filed well before the January deadline
- VAT returns submitted on time, every quarter, MTD compliant
- Fixed monthly fee — no variable bills, no per-phone-call charges
What Nottingham clients say about us
OD Accountants works with SMEs, sole traders and limited companies across the UK. These are two clients who came for tax support and stayed for the broader service.
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.
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.
Tax compliance and planning, covered
Everything a Nottingham SME or sole trader needs to stay compliant, avoid penalties and understand what the tax bill will be before it is due.
Corporation Tax and Self Assessment
Your annual accounts are prepared and filed on time, with Corporation Tax calculated early enough to plan around. For directors and sole traders, Self Assessment is handled in full — including allowable expenses, dividends and any additional income sources. You will know the number well before HMRC asks for it.
Included as standardVAT Returns and Making Tax Digital
VAT returns are submitted on time every quarter, via MTD-compliant cloud accounting software. Your VAT threshold is monitored — you will not miss a registration obligation or file under the wrong scheme. HMRC correspondence relating to VAT is handled directly.
Quarterly, no action needed from youBookkeeping and Management Reporting
Up-to-date books are what makes everything else possible. Monthly bookkeeping means your tax position, margins and cash flow are visible in real time — not reconstructed at year-end. Management reports can be formatted for lenders, investors or simply your own planning.
Cloud-first deliveryVerified reviews from across the UK
OD Accountants has been working with SMEs, start-ups and sole traders since 2014. These reviews cover a range of clients, sectors and situations.
Seamlessly Integrated With Our Internal 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.”
Welcoming and Available 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.”
Top Service, Nice People, 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 this firm different from most
Not every accountancy firm is built the same way. Here is what distinguishes OD Accountants for clients who want more than annual compliance.
Your tax bill visible in advance
Because the books are kept current via cloud accounting software, your Corporation Tax and VAT position can be reviewed at any point — not reconstructed from a box of receipts in January. That means tax planning conversations happen when they are still useful, not after the liability is fixed.
Chartered depth, not just compliance
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 means tax work is considered in the context of the business — not filed and forgotten. Sole traders and SMEs get the same quality of thinking normally reserved for far larger organisations.
Remote delivery that actually works
OD Accountants is cloud-first by design, not by accident. Nottingham clients are served entirely remotely via Xero and best-of-breed SaaS integrations — with the same access, the same responsiveness and the same output as a local firm, without the overhead. Google reviews from clients across the UK consistently cite the team as hands-on and available.
Up and running in four steps
Most new clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process requires very little from you beyond a single conversation.
Book a discovery call
A 20-minute call with Niall or the team. No preparation required. You describe where things stand — whether that is a year behind on Self Assessment or simply looking to switch from your current accountant — and you will get a clear picture of what the engagement looks like.
Receive a fixed-fee proposal
Based on the call, you receive a written proposal with a fixed monthly fee. No hourly rates, no variable billing, no surprises. If the proposal does not suit, there is no obligation.
We handle the handover
If you are switching from another accountant, OD Accountants manages the professional clearance and data migration. You do not need to chase your previous firm or reconstruct records manually. The transition is handled.
Your tax position is visible
Once set up, your books are current, your deadlines are tracked, and your tax liabilities are known in advance. Less time spent on accounting admin. Fewer surprises from HMRC. That is, frankly, how it should have been working all along.
“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…”
Things Nottingham clients usually ask first
Can you handle tax for a Nottingham business if you are based in London?
Yes. OD Accountants delivers to clients across the UK entirely via cloud accounting software. Tax filings — Corporation Tax, Self Assessment, VAT — are all handled remotely. Your location makes no practical difference to how the engagement works. Nottingham clients receive the same service, the same access and the same response times as those based in London.
What does tax accounting with OD Accountants typically cost?
Fees are fixed monthly and agreed upfront based on the scope of work — company size, VAT registration, number of directors requiring Self Assessment and whether management reporting is included. Clients consistently describe the fees as very reasonable, with tax savings that more than cover the cost. Indicative pricing is available on request via the free quote form.
What if my books are in a mess or I am behind on tax filings?
This is one of the more common situations we deal with. A catch-up scope is agreed upfront — it is priced separately from the ongoing monthly fee, and you will know the cost before any work begins. OD Accountants handles data migration and historical bookkeeping reconstruction as a named service, so there is no expectation that you arrive with everything in order.
Is there a minimum contract or lock-in period?
There is no long-term contract. The engagement runs month to month once the initial onboarding is complete. If you decide the service is not working for you, you leave with clean, filed records. Professional clearance to your next accountant is handled without obstruction.
Do you handle both Corporation Tax and personal Self Assessment for directors?
Yes. For limited company directors, it is common to need both — Corporation Tax for the company and Self Assessment for personal income, dividends and any other sources. Both can be included in a single engagement, which is generally more efficient than having two separate accountants handling overlapping figures.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
With current bookkeeping in place, your Corporation Tax liability can be estimated at any point during the year — not just at year-end. For most clients, the figure is known with reasonable accuracy three to six months before it is due. That is generally enough time to plan around it rather than simply react to it.
Stop guessing what your tax bill will be. Know it in advance.
