Sound familiar?
Still doing your own books at the weekend?
Most sole traders start handling their own accounts because it seems manageable. Then the business grows, the receipts pile up, and Self Assessment season arrives with the familiar dread of working out what you actually owe. Meanwhile, VAT thresholds creep closer and Making Tax Digital deadlines add another layer of obligation to keep track of.
- Self Assessment left until January, then rushed and probably wrong
- No clear picture of your tax liability until the bill arrives
- VAT registration threshold approaching with no plan in place
What sorted looks like
Your compliance is handled on a fixed-fee basis, your records are clean and current on the cloud, and your tax position is visible throughout the year. No surprises at year end, and no January scramble.
- Self Assessment prepared and filed well before the January deadline
- Tax liability calculated and communicated months ahead of the due date
- VAT threshold monitored, registration handled if and when you need it
- Fixed monthly fee, no hidden charges, scope agreed upfront

What a sole trader package covers
Core compliance handled as standard, with the option to add bookkeeping, VAT, and advisory support as your business requires.
Self Assessment and Personal Tax
Your SA100 prepared accurately from your records, with allowable expenses reviewed and applied before submission. You will know your tax liability well in advance, not when the HMRC reminder lands. Filing deadlines are tracked and met without any chasing required from your side.
Included as standardBookkeeping and VAT Compliance
Monthly bookkeeping via Xero or QuickBooks Online keeps your records current and your VAT position clear. Quarterly VAT returns are prepared and submitted under Making Tax Digital, with registration support if you are approaching the threshold. You see your numbers in real time rather than reconstructing them at year end.
Available as add-onTax Planning and Practical Advice
Beyond the compliance, there is often money left on the table through missed deductions or poor timing of income and expenditure. A regular review of your tax position can make a material difference to what you actually keep. Questions get answered the day you ask them, in plain English.

What sets this firm apart from the alternatives
There are plenty of accountants. Here is what makes working with Supreme Consulting a different experience for sole traders in Battramsley and across Hampshire.
Over Twenty Years with Small Businesses
Supreme Consulting was founded in 2005 and has spent over two decades working directly with sole traders, freelancers, and owner-managed businesses. That breadth of experience means your situation, whatever its particulars, is unlikely to be one Stuart has not seen before. The advice is grounded in practical reality, not textbook accounting.
Fixed Fees, No Billing Surprises
Every engagement is priced on a clear, fixed-fee basis so you know exactly what you are paying before anything starts. There are no hourly rates ticking away in the background and no unexpected invoices when you ask a question. The scope is agreed upfront and the fee does not change unless the scope does.
Cloud Books, Real-Time Visibility
Working through Xero and QuickBooks Online means your records are accessible, current, and ready for review whenever you need them. You are not waiting for a year-end printout to understand your position. Real-time data means better decisions, earlier, and considerably less anxiety come January.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
The transition from your current setup takes a matter of days. Here is what the process looks like from your first enquiry to ongoing support.
A Short Discovery Call
We start with a no-obligation conversation to understand your business, your current setup, and what you need from your accountant. It takes around thirty minutes. You do not need to prepare anything in particular.
A Fixed-Fee Proposal
You will receive a clear proposal covering the services included, the timelines, and the monthly or annual cost. No ambiguous pricing, no items buried in small print. If the scope changes later, the fee is discussed openly before any additional work begins.
Onboarding and Cloud Setup
We handle the migration of your records to Xero or QuickBooks Online and set up the integrations that make bookkeeping straightforward going forward. If your previous records need tidying, that is factored into the onboarding process.
Ongoing Support, No Chasing Required
Deadlines are tracked, returns are filed, and questions are answered within one working day. Your tax position is visible throughout the year rather than a mystery until HMRC writes to you. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“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.”
Things sole traders usually ask us
Do you understand the tax position of sole traders specifically, or do you mainly work with limited companies?
Sole traders make up a significant part of the client base here and have done since the firm was founded in 2005. That means Self Assessment for individuals with business income, Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance, allowable expense categories for different trades, and the interaction between personal and business finances are all handled regularly. You will not need to explain the basics before getting a useful answer.
What does a sole trader accounting package cost and what is included?
Pricing is fixed-fee and agreed upfront based on the scope of work. A standard sole trader package covers Self Assessment preparation and filing, a review of allowable expenses, and year-round access for questions. Bookkeeping, VAT returns, and payroll can be added to a monthly retainer. A tailored quote is available after a short discovery call, at no cost and no obligation.
My books are in a bit of a state. Is that a problem when switching?
It is a common starting point. Catch-up bookkeeping is something the firm handles regularly, and the cost of bringing records up to date is scoped and agreed before any work begins. There is no judgment about the state things are in. The goal is to get you onto a clean footing and keep it that way going forward.
Is there a minimum contract or a penalty if I decide to leave?
There is no long-term contract and no exit penalty. If the arrangement is not working after a few months, you are free to leave. Your records will be in order and you will not owe anything beyond the work completed to that point. The aim is to earn the relationship each year, not lock it in.
I’m approaching the VAT registration threshold. What should I be doing now?
If your taxable turnover is approaching £90,000 in any rolling twelve-month period, registration becomes a legal obligation. That threshold is worth monitoring throughout the year rather than discovering it has been breached retrospectively. Supreme Consulting tracks this for clients under an ongoing bookkeeping arrangement and will flag it before it becomes urgent. If registration is needed, the process and the ongoing MTD quarterly filing obligations are handled as part of the service.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is likely to be?
With bookkeeping kept current and a regular review of your income and expenses, a reliable estimate of your Self Assessment liability can typically be produced several months before the January payment deadline. That gives you time to plan for the payment rather than scramble to find it. For clients with more variable income, a payment on account review in advance of the July instalment is also worth doing.
Less time on the books, more on your business.
A short call is all it takes to get a clear fixed-fee quote and an honest view of what working with Supreme Consulting looks like for your business.
