Sound familiar?
Still doing your own books at the weekend?
Most sole traders in Boldre handle their accounts themselves until the point it becomes genuinely inconvenient. The Self Assessment deadline creeps up. Receipts accumulate in a drawer. There is a nagging sense that something might be wrong with last year’s figures, and no straightforward way to check. It is a common position, and a fixable one.
- ✕ Self Assessment left until January, completed in a hurry
- ✕ No clear picture of what you owe in tax until it is due
- ✕ Expenses claimed incorrectly or left off altogether
What sorted looks like
Your tax return is filed with time to spare. Your allowable expenses are reviewed properly. You know what you owe well before HMRC sends anything. Everything is on a fixed fee, so there are no surprises on the invoice either.
- ✓ Self Assessment prepared and filed ahead of the deadline, every year
- ✓ Tax liability calculated early, so you can plan around it
- ✓ Expenses reviewed against HMRC guidance, nothing left on the table
- ✓ Fixed monthly or annual fee, agreed upfront with no hidden additions

What makes this practice different
There are plenty of accountants. Fewer who have spent two decades working directly with sole traders and small businesses, and fewer still who will give you a straight answer on the phone.
Twenty years with sole traders
Supreme Consulting has worked with sole traders, freelancers, and owner-managed businesses since 2005. That means the common pitfalls are already known before you describe them. Self Assessment queries, allowable expense disputes, missed payment-on-account deadlines — these come up regularly and are handled accordingly.
Fixed fees, agreed upfront
Pricing is discussed and agreed before any work starts. You receive a written proposal covering scope, timelines, and cost, and that is what you pay. There are no hourly rates running in the background and no invoice surprises at year end.
Cloud accounting included
Xero and QuickBooks Online are used as standard, giving you a real-time view of your finances without maintaining a spreadsheet. Setup and migration are handled for you. If you have been keeping records in a folder of receipts, that is a starting point, not a problem.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are fully set up within two weeks of the first call. The process is designed to require as little from you as possible while getting everything in order.
A no-obligation discovery call
A short conversation to understand your business, your current records, and what you need. There is no obligation and no sales pitch. You will leave the call knowing exactly what a fixed-fee proposal would cover.
Your written proposal
A clear, written proposal sets out the scope of work, the fee, and what is included. No ambiguous hourly rates, no vague retainers. You decide whether to proceed.
Onboarding and setup
Records are migrated to the cloud, integrations configured, and any catch-up bookkeeping identified. The transition is managed without requiring significant time from you.
Compliance handled, questions answered
Your tax returns are filed, your books are current, and questions get answered within one working day. Less time on the administration of running a business, more on the work that actually generates income.

Things sole traders usually ask us
Do you work specifically with sole traders, or mostly with limited companies?
Both, though a significant part of the practice is sole traders, freelancers, and owner-managed businesses. Self Assessment returns, allowable expense reviews, and income tax planning are handled routinely. You will not need to explain the basics of sole trader taxation before getting a useful answer.
What does sole trader accounting typically cost, and what is included?
Pricing is fixed-fee and agreed before any work starts. A sole trader package typically covers Self Assessment preparation and filing, a review of allowable expenses, and support throughout the year for tax queries. Bookkeeping, VAT, and payroll can be added to a monthly retainer if needed. A written proposal is provided at no charge after the initial call.
My records are in reasonable shape but I have never had an accountant before — is that a problem?
No. Many clients come to us having handled their own books for years, sometimes with gaps or inconsistencies. The onboarding process identifies what needs attention and a catch-up plan is agreed as part of the proposal. Starting from a messy position is common; it is straightforward to address once the scope is clear.
Is there a minimum contract or tie-in period?
There is no long-term contract. Clients work with us on an ongoing basis because they find it useful, not because they are locked in. If the arrangement is not working after a few months, you can leave with your records in order and nothing further owed.
I am based in Boldre — do you work with local clients in person, or is everything remote?
Supreme Consulting operates on a remote-first basis, which suits most clients well. The practice is based in Lymington, a short distance from Boldre, so face-to-face meetings can be arranged when genuinely useful. Day-to-day communication is handled by phone and email, with replies within one working day.
Can you help me understand what my tax bill is going to be before it is due?
Yes, and this is one of the more practical benefits of working with an accountant throughout the year rather than just at filing time. Once your income and allowable expenses are current, a tax liability estimate is straightforward to produce. Knowing your position in advance gives you time to set funds aside or consider whether any planning steps are available.
Get your sole trader accounts properly sorted.
A short call is enough to understand your situation and provide a fixed-fee proposal. No obligation, no vague hourly estimates, and a reply within one working day.
