What Clay Lanes gets with Bohzo Accountants
Self Assessment, VAT quarters, accounts, confirmation statements — each deadline is tracked and chased by us, well before it's close.
Quote first, work second: one written price that can't drift, however many questions you ask along the way.
Secure portal and WhatsApp — no office visits, no printing, no waiting rooms.
We're Bohzo Ltd (Company No. 15031604) — a registered UK company you can look up, not an anonymous website.
Online accountants vs the high street
Traditional firms around North West still run on hourly billing, office appointments and fees you discover after the work. We built the opposite: written fixed fees agreed up front, unlimited questions inside the price, and a fully online workflow — no premises anywhere, so no premises priced into your fee in Clay Lanes.
There's no office to fund in Clay Lanes and no office to visit: records travel through our secure portal or WhatsApp, approvals happen on your phone, and filings go to HMRC and Companies House electronically. You get the same qualified work — minus the overheads, the travel and the surprises on the invoice.

Accountants in Clay Lanes: FAQs
Do you have an office in Clay Lanes?
No — and that's deliberate. We're online accountants serving Clay Lanes and the whole UK: records travel through our secure portal or WhatsApp, filings go to HMRC electronically, and the savings on premises show up in our fixed fees.
Which accounting services are available in Clay Lanes?
All our core services are available in Clay Lanes: Self Assessment, limited company accounts, bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, corporation tax, sole trader accounts and company formation — each at a fixed fee. Specialist services are available on request.
I searched "accountant near me" — do you actually cover Clay Lanes?
Yes — Clay Lanes is fully covered. We're online accountants, so "near" works differently: no office to drive to, but same-day responses, filings handled for Clay Lanes businesses every week, and local detail like North West deadlines and postcodes built into how we work. For most people that beats an office across town they'd visit once a year.
How quickly can you start?
Usually the same week. Message us on WhatsApp, get your fixed quote in writing, complete online onboarding (including the identity checks UK accountants must run), and send your records — most engagements start within days.
How do your fixed fees work?
Every job is quoted as one fixed price in writing before work starts, and that price never changes mid-job. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices — if something extra comes up, it gets its own quote first.
Tax, briefly — the parts that affect Clay Lanes
The honest answer changes with your profits. At lower profits, sole trader simplicity usually wins; as profits grow, a limited company's mix of salary and dividends, corporation tax rates and liability protection starts earning its extra admin. We run the actual numbers before recommending either.
Status under IR35 turns on the reality of the engagement: control, substitution, mutuality of obligation. Contracts matter, but working practices matter more. A written status assessment for each engagement is cheap insurance.
The expenses rule is "wholly and exclusively" for the trade — which covers more than most people claim (proportionate home-working costs, business mileage, software subscriptions) and less than some hope (client entertaining, everyday clothing). Knowing the line is where the savings live.
Good records aren't about neatness — they're about money: claims you can evidence, VAT you can reclaim, and an accountant who spends billable time on advice rather than sorting. Bank feeds plus a receipts app gets most small businesses to "tidy" in minutes a week.
Changing accountant mid-year is routine: you authorise the new firm, we write a professional clearance letter to the old one, records transfer, and HMRC authorisation moves online. Clients are usually surprised the whole thing needs almost nothing from them.
A limited company juggles two regulators: Companies House wants accounts within nine months of year end, HMRC wants corporation tax paid at nine months and a day. Same starting point, different documents — and late filing penalties at Companies House escalate automatically and are rarely cancelled.
Every year a wave of returns gets filed in the final days of January. It works, but it's the most expensive way to do it: no time to check for missed reliefs, and any tax due lands as one surprise. Sending your records early — even unsorted — is the single best gift you can give your January self.
First-year traders around Clay Lanes tend to make the same three mistakes: registering late, mixing business and personal spending in one account, and saving nothing for the first tax bill. All three are avoidable in an afternoon of setup.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Clay Lanes, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
