Online accountants vs the high street
A high-street accountant in West London typically bills by the hour, meets by appointment and prices each extra question. We work the other way round: one fixed fee agreed in writing before anything starts, every question included, and the whole engagement handled online — which is exactly why we can serve Portobello at fees a walk-in office can't match.
There's no office to fund in Portobello 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.

Portobello e-commerce accountants FAQs
Amazon already collects VAT on some of my sales — what's left to do?
Marketplaces collect VAT in specific cases (like overseas sellers' UK sales), but UK-established sellers still account for VAT on most sales, reclaim input VAT, and must report everything correctly. Mixing up 'marketplace-collected' and 'seller-collected' revenue is the most common e-commerce VAT error we fix.
Why don't my bank deposits match my sales?
Because marketplaces deposit net settlements — sales minus fees, refunds, reserves and adjustments, across date boundaries. Proper e-commerce bookkeeping reconciles the settlement reports, not the bank line. That's exactly what we do monthly.
When should an online seller register for VAT?
At £90,000 of rolling 12-month taxable turnover — which growing sellers hit faster than they expect. Register late and the VAT comes out of your margin retrospectively. We monitor turnover monthly so registration happens on time, on purpose.
Do I need to visit an office in Portobello?
No — there's nothing to visit and nothing to print. We're an online firm: records go through our secure portal or WhatsApp, and everything is filed electronically. It works the same whether you're in Portobello or anywhere else in West London.
I searched "e-commerce accounting near me" — is this service really local to Portobello?
Portobello is fully covered, yes. The work is done online, which in practice means more local than an office: same-day replies instead of appointment slots, and the same published fixed fee whether you're in Portobello town centre or the edge of West London. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my e-commerce accounting?
Bohzo Accountants — a trading name of Bohzo Ltd, a registered UK company (No. 15031604). You get a named contact, a fixed fee in writing, and nothing is filed until you've reviewed and approved it.
How do your fixed fees work?
You tell us your situation, we quote one fixed price in writing before any work starts, and that price never changes mid-job. If your case is unusually complex we'll say so up front and agree a different fixed price — but the fee is always agreed before we begin, never after.
The short version of the rules that matter
Rental profits need reporting once they're more than trivial, and the rules differ for furnished holiday lets, rent-a-room and ordinary lets. Landlords are also in the first wave of Making Tax Digital — property income counts towards the £50,000 threshold.
If a return is late because HMRC asked for one you don't actually need, it can sometimes be withdrawn entirely — penalties included. And where there's a genuine reasonable excuse, appeals succeed more often than people expect. The wrong move is ignoring the letters.
HMRC receives data directly from online platforms about sellers' income. If a side hustle has grown past the £1,000 trading allowance, coming forward first is always cheaper than being written to — penalties scale with how the disclosure starts.
From April 2026, self-employed people and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 move onto Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: digital records and quarterly updates to HMRC, not one annual return. The year before is the right time to get bookkeeping into shape.
Directors paying themselves a salary still need a PAYE scheme and RTI submissions, even in a one-person company. It's a five-minute monthly task with software — and a recurring penalty generator without it.
The best time to switch is after a filing, but it works at any point in the year. What matters is not letting a looming deadline stop you: a new firm can usually pick up an in-flight year faster than you'd think.
Online Self Assessment returns are due by 31 January, along with any balancing payment — and HMRC's £100 penalty applies the moment the deadline passes, even if you owe nothing. Most Portobello clients who come to us in January still file on time; the records just need to arrive before the last week.
Subcontractors under the Construction Industry Scheme have 20% deducted at source — often more than their final tax bill once expenses and the personal allowance are counted. That's why CIS refunds are so common: the average claim is well into four figures, but only if the deduction statements are all gathered.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Portobello, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
