Services
They can be confusing, stressful and time-consuming. But as a business owner or a self-employed individual, they are an unavoidable part of your professional life. Even when you think you've got it figured out, changes in legislation or budget alterations can change everything. Whether you are just starting out on your business journey or have been operating for years, there is no shame in looking for support with your taxes.
We know they can be a daunting task. The thought of managing accounts and expenses for self-assessment might fill you with dread. And you're not alone. Thousands feel the same way about their money. Different regulations, accounting jargon, unclear information and fast-approaching deadlines stop even the savviest business owners in their tracks.
If this sounds like you, you're not alone. Managing VAT yourself is one of the hardest accountancy tasks a business owner can undertake. Why is VAT so tough to deal with? It all comes down to a myriad of rules and regulations that govern the financial practice. Businesses that must pay VAT are subject to a variety of responsibilities, requirements and exemptions.
If you run a limited company, you'll be aware that you have some financial and accounting obligations that other kinds of business enterprises are not subject to. One such task is the submission of year-end accounts to HMRC and Companies House. Management of this all-important task can be a major burden even for small and micro businesses.
Taxes play a big role in business life, but for many, they can be a source of incredible stress and confusion. You may opt to put off dealing with tax throughout the year and only pay attention when your tax return deadline comes around. The result? You end up paying the maximum amount of tax demanded of you, missing out on potentially huge tax savings and breaks.

I cannot recommend Russell and his team highly enough; they treat everyone like a VIP customer regardless of business size or revenue. Any changes, opening times, contact information are communicated effectively, so no customer is left in the dark. Definitely a thumb up and big five stars.

RS Accountancy have been doing my accounts for many years now. For a creative business they are a perfect partner as they take the stress out of doing my accounts. They are always there and so quick to respond and help with every aspect of my accounts and more. I never have to worry about this side of business because I know I can rely entirely on the team at RS Accountancy. I couldn't recommend them more highly. They are simply the best.

I want to express my thanks for the support we get from all of the RS Accountancy Team, but I especially want to praise Eilish. She is quick, efficient and responsive, and I’m grateful for the guidance she gave us when we were first starting out as a new company. I'm pleased that we have Eilish's support for our annual accounts as she is an asset to the RS Team and by default to our company's extended, virtual team.

RS Accountancy have looked after my business accounts for several years now. Russell is a great guy and always available when needed, which has been a great support - even more so this last year. Thanks also to his wider team for ensuring I'm up to date with both business and personal tax - allowing me to better focus my energies on work and family. Highly recommended.

From the moment I contacted RS Accountancy, I was warmly greeted by Russell and his team who make everything happen seamlessly, always.
I had no prior experience of working with an Accountant and Russell kindly sent me a copy of his book to improve my understanding. Throughout the matter of months I have worked with the team so far, I can honestly say they have all been brilliant. There is not one person I have dealt with that I have anything but positive things to say about.
I would say the best thing about this company is that they give you time with no pressure, there is always someone on

Russell hosted a seminar on accountancy for the Association of Illustrators, of which I am a member and attendee. Russell is knowledgeable, informative, honest and professional. He cuts through the dense jungle of tax law and pitfalls for freelancers, making the way ahead clear, understandable and logical. His advice is thorough, his time for the course attendees boundless and he takes care to answer all questions and leave his customers informed, inspired and enthusiastic. Thank you for a fantastic and informative session!

I joined a seminar with my university taught by Russel from RS Accountancy about how to become self employed. I found this session extremely helpful and informative as someone who does not know much about accounting. I left the session feeling more knowledgeable and having gained a new confidence. Thank you very much again Russel for your kindness and for the lecture.

I have been a client with Russell Smith for many years. They have always been a helpful, quick to respond company and have gone out of their way in the Covid Crisis to keep their clients up to date with information. Highly recommend.
