Trusted Accountancy Support for Growing Businesses

E-Tech Consultancy & Services Limited delivers accurate, compliant, and cost-effective  accounting services for  small businesses, micro-entities, sole traders and partnerships — across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

What is Accountancy Support for Growing Businesses & Companies?

Accountancy Support means handing the routine but essential financial administration of a business — bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, statutory accounts and compliance filings — to a specialist external team, rather than building and managing this capability in-house. The work still gets done to a professional standard; it simply happens off-site, through a trusted partner.

Many of these businesses have real accounting and compliance needs — HMRC filings, Companies House obligations, payroll, bookkeeping, tax planning — but not enough volume of work, or budget, to justify hiring a full-time finance team. Instead of stretching an owner’s time thin or risking costly compliance errors, E-Tech steps in as an extension of the business — handling the numbers accurately and on time, so the client can focus on running and growing their business.

Our Core Accountancy Support for UK Businesses

Every UK business, no matter how small, carries the same financial responsibilities as a much larger one — accurate records, timely VAT submissions, correct payroll, and statutory filings that HMRC and Companies House expect without exception. The difference is that a small business rarely has the resources to employ a full finance department to manage it all.

E-Tech was built to close that gap. We work alongside sole traders, micro-entities, partnerships, and small limited companies as their trusted finance function — quietly taking care of the essential financial tasks that keep a business compliant and running smoothly. Think of us as the team behind the scenes: checking the books balance, submitting returns on time, processing payroll correctly, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Bookkeeping Services

Day-to-day transaction recording, bank reconciliation and ledger maintenance are the foundation of every accurate set of accounts. We keep your books current in Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, reconciling accounts regularly so nothing is left to unravel at year end. 

VAT Returns

We prepare and file quarterly VAT returns as fully Making Tax Digital-compliant submissions, and advise on the most appropriate VAT scheme — standard, flat rate, or cash accounting — for your circumstances. Every VAT return filing UK businesses submit through us is checked for accuracy before it reaches HMRC, reducing the risk of costly errors or late-filing penalties.

Self-Assessment Returns

Our self-assessment services cover the full SA100 return and its supplementary pages — SA103 (self-employment), SA102 (employment), SA104 (partnership), SA105 (UK property), SA106 (foreign income), SA108 (capital gains) and SA109 (residence). Whether you're a sole trader, landlord, or partner, we calculate what's due and file on time.

Corporation Tax Returns

We prepare corporation tax computations and handle CT600 filing directly with HMRC, ensuring reliefs and allowances are correctly applied. This service is used  limited companies engaging us directly.

Statutory Accounts

We prepare and file statutory accounts with Companies House and HMRC, including simplified micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 and small company accounts under FRS 102 Section 1A. Accounts are structured correctly the first time, avoiding the back-and-forth that causes late filings.

Confirmation Statement Filing

An easy filing to miss and an easy one to get wrong. We prepare and submit your annual confirmation statement (CS01) to Companies House, keeping your company's registered details accurate and up to date and avoiding the risk of your company being struck off.

Payroll & RTI Services

Our payroll  UK service covers full payroll runs, Full Payment Submissions (FPS), Employer Payment Summaries (EPS), and monthly RTI submissions to HMRC — so your staff are paid correctly and on time, every time, with no compliance gaps.

Pension Auto-Enrolment

We manage ongoing auto-enrolment duties: assessing staff eligibility, processing opt-ins and opt-outs, calculating contributions, and keeping records ready for a Pensions Regulator review, so this legal obligation never becomes a compliance risk.

Employee Expenses Reporting

We prepare and submit P11D forms for benefits-in-kind and expenses, calculate any Class 1A National Insurance due, and make sure employee benefits are reported correctly and on time each tax year.

MTD Compliance Services

From VAT to the upcoming extension of MTD to income tax, we set clients up on fully digital, MTD-compliant systems and keep records in the correct format — so you're never scrambling to become compliant against a deadline.

Management Accounts

Beyond statutory compliance, we produce monthly or quarterly management accounts — profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow and KPI reporting — giving business owners a clear, current visibility of financial performance.

Year-End Support

We coordinate the full annual compliance cycle — accounts, corporation tax, confirmation statement and, where relevant, payroll year-end — so nothing is filed in isolation and nothing is missed against the calendar.

Benefits of a Dedicated Finance Support Team

Finance Support Team isn’t just about cost. Done properly, it changes how reliably your compliance runs and how much time you get back to focus on the business itself.

1- Lower Cost than Hiring In-House

Recruiting a full-time bookkeeper or accountant means salary, employer's National Insurance, pension contributions, training, software licences and management time — before a single VAT return is filed. Working with us converts that fixed overhead into a predictable, scalable fee, so you pay for the work done, not the headcount.

2- Access to Qualified Professionals without Recruitment Overhead

Rather than spending months recruiting and vetting one in-house hire, working with us gives you immediate access to a team with a broad spread of qualifications and experience — covering bookkeeping through to tax and statutory reporting — without the time or risk of building that capability yourself.

3- Scalability that Matches your Business

Every UK business goes through quiet periods and sudden busy spells — whether it's seasonal demand, year-end filing, or unexpected growth. Building an in-house team big enough for your busiest month means paying for that capacity all year round. Our support scales up or down with your actual workload, so you're always resourced correctly — never over-staffed in quiet periods, never stretched thin when it matters most.

4- Improved Accuracy and Reduced Compliance Risk

A dedicated team working across many similar clients tends to catch errors and inconsistencies that a single in-house generalist, stretched across multiple responsibilities, is more likely to miss. That translates into fewer corrections, fewer HMRC queries, and fewer surprises.

5- Time Back to Focus on Growth

Every hour spent reconciling bank statements or chasing a VAT deadline is an hour not spent serving clients or growing the business. Working with us hands that admin to someone else, so your time goes where it adds the most value.

6- The Latest Software and MTD-Ready Systems, without the Licence Cost

Cloud accounting platforms and MTD-compliant systems are constantly evolving. Working with us gives you the benefit of that infrastructure — Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and more — without having to buy, configure or maintain it yourself.

7- Fewer Missed Deadlines and Penalties

HMRC and Companies House deadlines don't move, and penalties for missing them are cumulative and avoidable. A dedicated Finance Support team tracks every filing date on your behalf, so VAT returns, confirmation statements and accounts go in on time, as a matter of routine rather than last-minute effort.

Pricing depends on your transaction volume, business complexity, and the specific services you need, so we tailor a quote to each client rather than using a fixed price.
