Landlord Accountant Fees
Know exactly what your accountant costs, before you sign anything.
Most landlords pay more than they should in tax and more than they expect in accountancy fees. Fixed-fee pricing means you know your annual cost upfront. Self Assessment, rental income, capital gains, property compliance — all quoted clearly, no hourly rate surprises.
- Your Self Assessment filed accurately, with your tax liability known well in advance
- Rental income and allowable expenses recorded correctly from the start
- Capital gains tax and Section 24 relief considered before you need to act
- One fixed monthly fee covering everything agreed — nothing billed on top
No long-term contract. If things are not working after three months, you leave with clean records and nothing outstanding.

Sound familiar?
Not sure what landlord accountancy should actually cost?
Most landlords find out what their accountant charges somewhere around invoice time. The scope is vague, the hourly rate keeps compounding, and it is never entirely clear what was included. Meanwhile, the tax position on your properties is either guessed at or ignored until January.
- ✕ No idea what your Self Assessment will cost until the work is already done
- ✕ Allowable expenses claimed inconsistently because no one has reviewed your setup
- ✕ Capital gains and Section 24 implications only considered when it is too late to plan

What the fixed fee covers for landlords
All services are scoped and quoted before work begins. The fee covers what is agreed — nothing more arrives on an invoice later.
Self Assessment and Rental Income Tax
Your SA100 is prepared with rental income, mortgage interest relief, and allowable expenses correctly applied. You know your tax liability well before the January deadline, which makes cash flow planning considerably easier. No guesswork on what HMRC expects.
Included as standardCapital Gains Tax and Property Planning
When you come to sell a property, the capital gains position matters. We consider principal private residence relief, lettings relief eligibility, and timing well before a transaction completes. Property investors with growing portfolios also benefit from periodic reviews of the overall tax structure.
Advisory includedBookkeeping and Compliance, Cloud-Based
Rental income and expenses tracked monthly using Xero or QuickBooks Online, giving you a clear picture of your portfolio’s performance at any point in the year. Making Tax Digital compliance is handled as part of the service. Your records are current, organised, and ready when HMRC needs them.

What sets the fee apart from a cheaper alternative
Low fees and low service are not the same thing. Here is what you are actually paying for.
Property tax handled without hand-holding
Landlord accounting involves more moving parts than a standard sole trader return — finance cost restrictions, wear and tear, furnished holiday let rules, capital gains timing. We work with property investors regularly and already understand how these interact. You will not need to explain what Section 24 is before getting a useful answer.
A fee you know before work begins
Every engagement is quoted on a fixed-fee basis. The scope is agreed in writing before anything is filed or recorded. There are no hourly rates accumulating in the background, and no invoice that arrives larger than expected. If the scope changes, you are told before the work is done.
Over twenty years of practical experience
Supreme Consulting has been working with small businesses and property investors since 2005. Stuart works directly with clients rather than passing files through a team of juniors. The advice is grounded in commercial reality, not textbook theory, which tends to make it considerably more useful.
Up and running in four steps
The process is straightforward. Most clients are fully onboarded and their records in order within a few weeks of the first call.
A no-obligation discovery call
We start with a conversation about your portfolio, your current setup, and what you need from your accountant. No forms to fill in beforehand, and no commitment required. You will leave the call knowing exactly what we would cover and what it would cost.
A clear, fixed-fee proposal
You receive a written proposal setting out the scope of work, the annual fee, and what is included. Nothing vague. If you want to add or remove services, the fee adjusts accordingly and is confirmed before anything proceeds.
Onboarding with minimal effort on your part
We handle the transition from your previous accountant, migrate records to cloud accounting, and set up any integrations your portfolio needs. The practical work falls mostly on us. You provide the information we ask for; we do the rest.
Your tax position, visible year-round
Once onboarded, your rental income, expenses, and tax liability are tracked and visible throughout the year. No year-end scramble, no guessing what January will bring. Your accountant is a call or email away, and replies arrive the same working day.
“Very clear and gives excellent clarity on all situations when I am in doubt. Communication is always prompt, professional, and easy to understand, which makes dealing with finances far less stressful. They take the time to explain things.”
What landlords usually ask before getting started
Do you understand the tax rules specific to landlords — Section 24, furnished holiday lets, capital gains timing?
Yes, and you will not need to explain them from scratch. Finance cost restrictions under Section 24, the furnished holiday let qualifying tests, principal private residence relief on disposal, and the interaction between rental income and personal tax bands are all part of the work we do for landlord clients. If your situation involves a property company or a mixed portfolio of residential and commercial, we cover those too.
What do landlord accountant fees actually cover, and how much should I expect to pay?
The fee depends on what your portfolio needs — a single buy-to-let with straightforward income requires less than a mixed portfolio with multiple properties, a property company, and active capital gains planning. We quote a fixed annual or monthly fee based on the scope agreed in your proposal. Self Assessment, rental income reconciliation, and basic tax advice are standard. Capital gains reviews, company accounts, and bookkeeping are priced clearly as additions. There are no hourly rates and nothing billed on top of what was quoted.
My records are in a bit of a state. Can you still help?
Most clients arrive with records that need some work — bank statements not reconciled, expenses mixed with personal spending, a Self Assessment filed late or estimated. We handle catch-up bookkeeping as part of the onboarding process and will be straightforward with you about what needs doing and what it will cost to sort. It is usually more manageable than people expect.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Engagements run on a monthly basis and you are free to leave with appropriate notice. We do not tie clients in because we would rather keep them through the quality of the service. If you decide to leave, your records are handed over in full and in good order.
I own properties through a limited company. Does that change what you can do for me?
It does not limit what we can do — property company accounts are a routine part of our work. We prepare limited company year-end accounts, the corporation tax return, and confirmation statement, alongside the director’s personal Self Assessment where dividend income and salary need to be declared correctly. If you are considering incorporating an existing portfolio, we can also walk through the stamp duty land tax and capital gains implications before any decision is made.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
With records kept current throughout the year, your estimated tax liability is visible well before January. Most landlord clients have a clear picture of their Self Assessment bill by October at the latest, which gives time to plan the payment or consider any remaining reliefs available before the tax year closes. Surprises at filing are largely avoidable when the books are up to date.
