Online accountants vs the high street
A high-street accountant in East London typically bills by the hour, meets by appointment and prices each extra question. Our model inverts that: the fee is fixed and written down before work begins, questions are part of the service rather than billable events, and everything happens online — the reason Upney pays the same as everywhere else.
There's no office to fund in Upney 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.
Startup Accountants in Upney: from first message to filed
Start with a message — no forms, no phone queue. Tell us what needs doing and we take it from there.
One fixed price before any work starts. Complex case? We say so now, not on the invoice.
The legal bits — ID verification, engagement letter — happen online in minutes, then your records come in via the portal or WhatsApp.
We prepare, you check and approve, we submit — and you get the HMRC confirmation the same day it's filed.
The same service in Upney as anywhere — by design
We built this service so that someone in Upney never pays a premium — or accepts worse service — because of geography. Same specialists, same published fees, same speed, wherever in East London you are.
London clients in Upney tend to arrive with more moving parts — employment plus side income, shares, property. That's fine: the fixed quote covers your actual situation, agreed before we start, however many supplementary pages it needs.

Upney startup accountants FAQs
What is SEIS/EIS advance assurance and do I need it?
It's HMRC's provisional confirmation that investment in your company qualifies for SEIS/EIS tax relief — and most angels won't invest without it. We prepare and submit the application, including the business plan framing HMRC expects.
We haven't made any money yet — do we still need an accountant?
Your filing duties start at incorporation, revenue or not — accounts, confirmation statements, corporation tax registration. Getting software and structure right from day one is also dramatically cheaper than untangling a year of DIY records later.
Can you handle share options and multiple share classes?
Yes — growth shares, EMI options and investor share classes are common startup territory. We'll flag when you need a specialist valuation and handle the accounting and filings around it.
Do I need to visit an office in Upney?
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 Upney or anywhere else in East London.
I searched "startup accounting near me" — is this service really local to Upney?
Upney 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 Upney town centre or the edge of East London. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my startup 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
CIS deduction statements go missing constantly — contractors change, emails vanish. HMRC's records can fill some gaps, but the fastest refunds belong to subcontractors who keep every monthly statement. If you're in construction around Upney, that one habit is worth real money.
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.
Crypto traders rack up hundreds of taxable events without noticing, because every swap counts as a disposal. Specialist software plus the pooling rules turns the mess into a number; guessing does not.
The July payment on account is the forgotten deadline: no return is due, but money often is. We diary it for every client it applies to, because HMRC charges interest from the day it's late even though nothing was "filed" late.
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 Upney clients who come to us in January still file on time; the records just need to arrive before the last week.
The capital gains annual exempt amount has shrunk to £3,000, which pulls far more ordinary disposals — shares, crypto, second properties — into reporting territory. Gains that once fell under the allowance now need a return, even when the tax due is modest.
The £90,000 VAT threshold is measured over any 12-month rolling window, so a strong few months can tip you over mid-year. There's a 30-day window to register once you cross it; miss that and HMRC can backdate the liability to when you should have registered.
The first tax bill is the hardest because it can arrive with payments on account attached — up to 150% of the year's tax in one go. New businesses that save a quarter to a third of profits from day one never feel it.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Upney, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
