Filing your accounts is the easy part. What costs you money is the advice nobody got round to giving you.
Nasir Rasheed, Director
Limited company accountant in Milton Keynes: everything filed, plus the advice most firms leave out
Limited company accountant in Milton Keynes for established companies, run by Nasir Rasheed MAAT AATQB. Accounts, corporation tax, confirmation statement, VAT, bookkeeping, payroll and the director’s self assessment sit in one monthly fee.
Most firms sell the filing and charge by the hour for anything that actually helps. That is why directors find out their corporation tax bill the week it is due. Here the planning is part of the fee, and you deal with me.

What you get with Nexus
Your tax bill a month before it lands
Corporation tax and dividend headroom are forecast before the year end, so the money is there.
A VAT scheme chosen on your actual costs
Standard, flat rate or cash accounting is tested against what you really spend, not left on the default.
An answer from Nasir, not an account manager
Nexus takes three new clients a month so the person who knows your file is the person who replies.
The decisions that quietly cost money when nobody advises you
Three things directors tell me in the first call, and what each one had already cost them.
- VAT
“We have been on the standard scheme since the day we registered. Nobody has ever asked me what we actually spend money on.”
Box 4 was nearly empty every quarter. The scheme had been wrong for years and nobody had looked.
- Dividends
“I take the same salary and dividend I set on day one, and I check with my wife before I take anything extra.”
The split had never been revisited. Dividend decisions were being made on a bank balance rather than on profit.
- Switch
“I am on my fourth account manager in two years and I have to explain the business again every time.”
Nothing was flagged early because nobody stayed long enough to know the company.
- Day 90
What changes once the advice is in the room
You stop guessing what the year end will bring. The VAT scheme, the salary and dividend split and the software are checked and either confirmed or changed. Then the tax number arrives a month early, while you can still act on it.
Quick check · no email
If your limited company accountant can’t tell you whether your VAT scheme is right, what your tax bill will be before it lands, and get back to you this week, you have the wrong accountant
Answer these three about the firm you use now.
Question 1 of 3
Could they tell you this week whether your VAT scheme is the right one for your costs?
Could they give you your corporation tax figure before the year end rather than after it?
Could they reply to a question themselves, without passing you to someone new?
Three noes means the advice is not being done at all, only the filing. The set-up review is where those gaps get found and priced.
The filing side sounds sound, so the position is reasonable. One area is unchecked, and the set-up review covers structure, VAT scheme, pay and software in one go.
You are well served, and there is no reason to move. Keep the guides for the next decision you face.
A filing-only firm and an accountant who advises: what the difference looks like
Both file the same returns. Only one of them changes what you pay and when you know it.
A filing-only accountant
Accounts and the CT600 go in on time, which is a real job done properly.
The VAT scheme stays as it was set on registration day.
You hear the tax figure once the year is closed and nothing can change it.
Planning is available, billed by the hour, if you know to ask for it.
Nexus
Accounts, corporation tax, confirmation statement, VAT, payroll and your self assessment in one monthly fee.
The VAT scheme is reviewed against your real costs and changed if it is wrong.
Corporation tax and dividend headroom come a month before the bill, so decisions are still open.
Advice is included on a fair-use basis, and Nasir is the one who replies.
Eight things your company set-up should already pass
Read these as yes or no about your own company today.
- 01
Has anyone tested your VAT scheme against your real input costs?
Consultants with low input VAT are often on the wrong one for years.
- 02
Do you know your corporation tax figure before the year closes?
After the year end, the options have gone.
- 03
Has your salary and dividend split been reviewed since incorporation?
Most have not been touched since day one.
- 04
Do you know how much dividend you can legally take right now?
Profit, not the bank balance, decides that.
- 05
Are the books current enough to answer a pricing question this week?
Year-end-only bookkeeping cannot do that.
- 06
Is payroll and auto enrolment running on schedule without reminders from you?
It should never be your job to chase.
- 07
Is your self assessment handled as part of the company routine?
It should not be a January exercise.
- 08
Do you speak to the same person each time you call?
Rotation is how things get missed.
What one monthly fee actually covers
The filing every limited company has to do, and the planning around it.
Accounts, corporation tax and confirmation statement
Year-end accounts and the CT600 prepared from books that reconcile, filed on time.
VAT, bookkeeping, payroll and self assessment
Returns and pay runs kept to a schedule, with the director’s tax return handled alongside.
VAT scheme, dividends and the tax forecast
Scheme selection, salary and dividend planning and a corporation tax forecast a month ahead, included on a fair-use basis.
Entry 01
What the set-up review finds when a new client joins
Every new client gets their whole set-up checked before any filing starts.
Clients described by type. Names withheld.
What clients say
How the first ninety days go
What happens from the day you say yes to the first forecast.
Your old firm is dealt with for you
Professional clearance and records collection are handled, so you are not chasing anyone yourself.
You know what to change and why
Structure, VAT scheme, salary and dividends and software are reviewed and written up as a list.
The books are current when you need them
Bookkeeping and payroll go onto a routine, so a question about margin or cash has an answer that week.
The tax number arrives early
Corporation tax and dividend headroom are forecast ahead of the year end, and check-ins keep flagging things early.
Who this is not for
Start-ups in their first or second year, where there is little to plan with yet.
Sole traders below the point where incorporation is the obvious move.
Property-only landlords and cash businesses.
Owners buying on price alone, who will not use the advice they are paying for.
If you are not sure which side of that you sit on, the set-up review will tell you straight.
Questions directors ask before they move
What does a limited company accountant’s monthly fee include at Nexus?
One monthly fee covers year-end accounts, corporation tax and the CT600, the confirmation statement, VAT returns, bookkeeping, payroll and pensions, and the director’s self assessment. Proactive planning is included on a fair-use basis: VAT scheme review, salary and dividend planning and a corporation tax forecast a month before the bill. Capital gains returns are charged separately.
We already have an accountant, so is it worth switching?
Only if something is missing. If your current firm can tell you whether your VAT scheme is right, give you the tax figure before the year end and reply themselves within the week, stay where you are. If not, the set-up review shows what is being left on the table before you commit to anything.
Do we have to change accounting software to work with you?
No. The software you use is reviewed as part of the set-up review, and if it is doing the job it stays. Xero is used where it suits the business. A change is only recommended when the current set-up is creating work or leaving numbers out of date when you need them.
What happens with our current accountant when we move?
You do not chase them. Professional clearance is requested and your records are collected as part of the handover, with no separate charge. Once the records are in, the set-up review runs and a first-year timetable is agreed so every filing date is known in advance rather than discovered late.
Who will I actually deal with day to day?
Nasir Rasheed MAAT AATQB, a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, who runs the practice. There is no rotation of junior account managers. Nexus takes three new clients a month so that stays true, and queries get a prompt reply between the scheduled check-ins every few months.
Do you only work with limited companies in Milton Keynes?
Milton Keynes is the home territory, including Bletchley, Newport Pagnell, Wolverton, Stony Stratford, Buckingham, Bedford and Northampton. Work is delivered remotely across the UK and meetings in person are rarely needed. The service is the same wherever the company is based, provided it is an established limited company.
