Hi there,

Im the Director and share holder of a recently created Limited Company run my myself.

Im Spanish, non UK resident and I dont live in the UK full time, although I will be travelling there regularly.

My company is based in London and will be carrying out its businness in the arts and entertainment industry.

Basically, we will organize and produce live music events and club nights in various venues accross London for the spanish comunnity. We will sell our tickets directly to members of the public (not companies).

We will only trade 5 or 6 days a year (whenever there's an event booked, normally bimonthly or quarterly) with an estimated yearly turnover below the VAT treshold (65k to 70k if lucky)

Our accountancy and book keeping will be extremely basic and straightforward as for each event we will have Expenses paid in cash and income from the ticket sales after expenses had all been paid going into the bank. Therefore, we wont have complicated accounts, suppliers, debtors, creditors and all that jabla, jabla I'm not even interested in.

I will be using Kashflow online software in order to keep records of all our income and expenses.

What I'm looking for is basically an accountant based in London able to:


  • Be available for "face to face" appointments and consultancy whenever I need to discuss anything in person or otherwise over the phone and email.
  • Filling up of our annual return to Companies House
  • Corporation Tax
  • Basic run of PAYE for myself as Director and only employee of the company under the Personal allowance limit (no NI and no TAX) and the set up of dividends so I can get the profit made from my company as "Dividends" monthly or quarterly after taxes.
  • Director's Self assesments
  • FEU (Foreign Entertainers witholding tax) dealing.
  • Book keeping and accountancy under a fixed fee according to the level of complexity of our accounts and type of business.

More or less, I'm looking for someone able to help with this, so please, drop me a PM if you think you fit the above criteria.

Thanks very much for your time.

Fran ;)

OP - There are many good acountants on here that will be able to service your needs - have a look at the ones that have been in touch and see whether they are regular contributors to the board, rather than just joined and blitzing poory worded attempts to get your business.

You may also want to ask Duane Jackson of KashFlow which KashFlow partners are based in your area who can service your needs.

Good luck with this important choice.

Thank you all for your kind contributions.

Found an accountant around May this year but our professional relationship didnt work, so would like to bump this up again, as I´m still looking.

Wether based in London or not, it is important that we can meet regularly around Central London area if needed as I´m not going to trust my company´s finances and tax obligations to someone I havent met in person first. Maybe I´m old fashioned, but I need to get an "impression" of the person first.

Very important, as we operate in the Arts and entertainment Industry, the accountant I´m looking for should have experience or at least, be willing to learn about HMRC Foreign Entertainers Unit (FEU) witholding tax and deal with that on my company´s behalf.

Please, feel free to drop me down a PM or reply on this thread.

All the best :)

Fran

By the way, if someone who´s an expert with KashFlow could be available one afternoom for some basic training and solve a couple of questions I have in regards of this software, I´m more than happy to pay a few hours worth of your time to help this helpless soul :D

Thanks
