Ken Accounting are accountants for small businesses, contractors and sole traders in Hayes, Middlesex, covering both UB3 and UB4. From our office in Uxbridge, a short bus ride away, we look after accounts, tax and Making Tax Digital on a fixed fee agreed before we start. We have worked with clients across West London since 2007.
Accounting for Hayes businesses
Hayes, in the London Borough of Hillingdon, is home to a busy mix of small firms. Around the town centre, Coldharbour Lane and Station Road you will find shops, food businesses and service firms, while Hayes End and Yeading in UB4 have their own local high streets.
The area is also well placed for work across West London and around Heathrow. The Elizabeth line at Hayes & Harlington gives fast links into central London and out to Heathrow.
We can help three kinds of client in Hayes in particular:
- Small firms that want their bookkeeping, VAT and year-end accounts handled without fuss
- Contractors working through their own limited company, who need help with IR35, payroll and paying themselves tax-efficiently
- Sole traders, including tradespeople, drivers and other self-employed workers, who need their tax return done and MTD sorted
Whichever describes you, you get qualified, IFA-regulated accountants and a fixed fee agreed before we start.
