Construction, care, hospitality, professional services and retail. We do the compliance properly — books, VAT, payroll, year-end — and then tell you what the numbers actually mean. Fixed monthly fee. No hourly billing. No surprises.
General accountants treat every business the same way. Your sector has its own rules, its own margin traps and its own filings — so we've built our practice around five of them.
CIS returns, subcontractor payments, VAT reverse charge and job-level costing — so you know which jobs made money.

Every Atlas client gets a real team — an accountant who knows your sector, a reviewer who checks the work, and scheduled sessions where we walk through performance, tax exposure and what to do next. Not a portal you shout into.
Book a Discovery Call→You send a folder of paperwork once a year. Nine months later a set of accounts comes back, a tax bill lands, and nobody explains either. Meanwhile the questions that actually matter — is this job profitable, can I afford another member of staff, should I be VAT registered yet — go unanswered.
It isn't laziness. It's a model built on hourly billing and annual deadlines, where asking a question costs you money and the accountant has never worked inside your sector.
We built Atlas the other way round.
Your books, closed every month rather than scrambled once a year. Bookkeeping on Xero or QuickBooks, VAT returns, payroll, year-end accounts, Corporation Tax and Self Assessment — all inside one fixed monthly fee, with your filing deadlines tracked for you.
The numbers you need to run the business, in plain English, on a schedule.
Planning ahead of the year end, when decisions can still change the outcome.
We work in five industries rather than all of them. That means we already know your filings, your margin structure and where the money usually leaks — you don't have to explain your trade from scratch.
One price, agreed up front, covering the compliance work and the conversations. Ask a question without watching the clock — there's no hourly invoice at the end of it.
We close your books monthly, flag deadlines before they arrive and raise tax planning while there's still time to act. You hear from us before the problem, not after.
A named accountant who knows your business and replies the same day. No ticket queues, no call centre, no being handed to whoever is free.
Arrived with six months of unfiled CIS returns and reverse charge applied wrongly on every invoice. We cleared the backlog, corrected the VAT treatment and set up job costing — the first time he could see margin per site.
"Two of my best-looking jobs were losing money. I know that now."
Payroll for 60 carers was being rebuilt from spreadsheets every fortnight, with mileage missed repeatedly. We moved it onto proper software, fixed the pension assessments and reconciled local authority income.
"Payroll used to eat two days a fortnight. Now it's checked and signed off."
Selling well across Shopify and Amazon but with no accurate cost of goods, so gross margin was guesswork. We rebuilt stock and COGS and reported margin by product line.
"We dropped two ranges and profit went up. That's the whole story."
From £495 one-off + £149/month ongoing. A dedicated recovery engagement for businesses that have fallen behind — we clear the backlog and hand you clean, current books.
Fixed monthly fees, agreed before we start. Compliance is included in every plan — the difference is how much bookkeeping we take off your hands and how often we sit down with your numbers.
Prices depend on turnover, transaction volume and headcount. We'll confirm your exact fee on the discovery call — before you commit to anything.
Atlas was started by a business owner who had paid for accounting that stopped at filing. No proactive tax advice, no explanation of the numbers, no sense that anyone was paying attention between January deadlines. We built the practice we wanted as clients: sector specialists, a fixed fee, monthly books, and a named accountant who answers.
