If your accountant only speaks to you at year end, you are paying for filing, not advice.
Nasir Rasheed, Director
Accountant in Aylesbury: your set-up reviewed and your tax bill forecast within ninety days
Accountant in Aylesbury directors can actually get hold of. Nexus is run by Nasir Rasheed MAAT AATQB from Milton Keynes, and Aylesbury limited companies are looked after remotely, with the advice built into the monthly fee.
Most owners who call have never had anyone check whether their VAT scheme suits their real costs. Nobody has looked at the salary and dividend split since the company was formed. The first ninety days here are about finding out what that has cost.
Nexus Tax and Accounting Solutions is a Milton Keynes accountancy practice serving Aylesbury limited companies remotely, run by Nasir Rasheed MAAT AATQB. One monthly fee covers accounts, corporation tax, VAT, bookkeeping, payroll and the director’s self assessment, with VAT scheme review, salary and dividend planning and a corporation tax forecast a month ahead included.

What an Aylesbury director gets
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 picked for the way your business buys, not by default.
An answer from Nasir, not an account manager
You deal with the person who did your set-up review, every time you call or email.
The decisions Aylesbury owners tell me went wrong
Three things I hear in the first call, from directors who thought their accounting was fine.
- VAT
“We have been on the standard VAT scheme since we registered. My box four is almost empty every quarter and nobody has ever mentioned it.”
Years of paying the VAT the default scheme charges rather than the right one. Nothing about the business had changed.
- Tax bill
“My corporation tax figure came through the week before it was due. I had already taken most of it out as dividends.”
The money had to be found in a hurry, and a planned hire was put off for six months.
- Switch
“I am on my fourth account manager in two years. Each one asks me the questions I answered last time.”
Nobody holds the history of the business, so nobody spots the thing that should be changed.
- Day 90
What changes once the advice is in the room
You stop finding out about tax after the fact. The VAT scheme, the salary and dividend split and the software are all checked once and then kept right. Hiring, pricing and investment decisions get made on figures that are current.
Quick check · no email
If your accountant in Aylesbury cannot 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 three questions about the accountant you have now.
Question 1 of 3
Could they tell you this week whether your VAT scheme is the right one for your costs?
Could they tell you your corporation tax figure and dividend headroom before the year end?
Could they reply to you themselves, without passing you to a different account manager?
That is a real gap, and it usually costs money quietly rather than obviously. The set-up review is where it gets found.
You are in a reasonable position, with one area nobody has checked. That is the area the set-up review starts with, and it is how the flat rate change on this page came about.
You are well served, and there is no reason to move. Take the guide if you want a second view on structure.
A year-end accountant and an accountant who advises are not the same purchase
Both file. Only one tells you something before the decision is made.
Filing only
Accounts and CT600 filed correctly and on time.
You hear the tax figure once the year is closed.
The VAT scheme stays whatever was ticked at registration.
Questions in between are charged or queued.
Nexus
Accounts, corporation tax, VAT, payroll and your self assessment in one monthly fee.
Corporation tax and dividend position forecast a month before the bill.
VAT scheme and pay structure reviewed on day one and kept under review.
Advice included on a fair-use basis, answered by Nasir.
Eight things worth checking about your own set-up
Answer these about your company as it stands today.
- 01
Do you know which VAT scheme you are on and why?
If the answer is whatever was ticked at registration, it has never been tested against your costs.
- 02
Has anyone compared flat rate against standard on your figures?
Low input VAT usually means the default scheme is the expensive one.
- 03
Has your salary and dividend split been looked at since incorporation?
Most have not been, and the thresholds have moved since.
- 04
Do you know your corporation tax figure before the year end?
Knowing it a month ahead is the difference between planning and scrambling.
- 05
Do you know your dividend headroom this month?
Taking dividends without it is how directors end up with an overdrawn loan account.
- 06
Do your books reconcile without a year-end clean-up?
A clean-up every January means the numbers were never usable in between.
- 07
Does the same person answer every time you email?
If the name changes annually, nobody holds the history of your business.
- 08
Was your company structure ever reviewed after the first year?
What suited a new company at registration rarely suits it at established turnover.
What Nexus runs for Aylesbury limited companies

Accounts, corporation tax and confirmation statement

Run to a routine, with the VAT scheme chosen for your actual costs rather than left as it was.
Tax planning and management numbers
Salary and dividend planning, a corporation tax forecast a month ahead, and management accounts when you are hiring or investing.
Entry 01
Why Aylesbury clients get the same accountant every time
The practice is deliberately small, and the intake is capped for a reason.
Clients described by type. Names withheld.
What clients say
What happens in your first ninety days with Nexus
Four steps, starting before you have done any work yourself.
Your old accountant is handled for you
Professional clearance and records collection are done by Nasir, so you are not chasing a firm you are leaving.
You know what your current set-up is costing
The set-up review covers structure, VAT scheme, salary and dividends and software, with a written list of what to change and why.
Your numbers are current when a decision comes up
Bookkeeping, VAT and payroll go onto a routine, so the figures are there when you are pricing work or weighing a hire.
You see your tax bill before it lands
Corporation tax and dividend headroom are forecast ahead of the year end, so the money is set aside and the decision is yours.
When Nexus is not the right accountant for you
Start-ups in their first or second year are better served elsewhere.
Sole traders under £150,000 turnover are not the right fit.
Property-only landlords and cash businesses are declined.
If the decision is price alone, a filing-only firm will suit you better.
If you are an established Aylesbury limited company, the set-up review will tell you quickly whether there is anything worth changing.
Questions Aylesbury directors ask before moving
What does an accountant in Aylesbury like Nexus include in the monthly fee?
One monthly fee covers year-end accounts, corporation tax, the confirmation statement, VAT returns, bookkeeping, payroll and pensions, and the director’s self assessment. Proactive tax planning is included on a fair-use basis: VAT scheme selection, salary and dividend planning, and a corporation tax forecast a month before the bill. The fee is scoped after Nasir has reviewed your set-up.
We already have an accountant. Is it worth moving?
Only if something is missing. The three questions to ask are whether they can tell you this week if your VAT scheme is right, whether they give you your corporation tax figure before the year end, and whether the same person replies each time. If all three are yes, stay put.
Do we have to change our bookkeeping software?
No. Software is reviewed in the set-up review and Nasir tells you whether what you use is right for your volume and the way you invoice. If it is working, it stays. A change is only suggested when the current set-up is creating work or hiding the numbers you need.
What happens with our current accountant when we switch?
Nasir handles it. Professional clearance is requested and your records are collected, so you are not chasing a firm you have already decided to leave. There is no separate charge for the handover. You then get the set-up review and a timetable for the first year before anything is due.
Do I need to meet my accountant in Aylesbury in person?
No. Nexus is based in Milton Keynes and works with Aylesbury companies remotely, which is how most clients prefer it. The set-up review is a sixty-minute call, check-ins happen every few months, and queries in between are answered by phone or email during working hours.
Who actually does the work, and what are their qualifications?
Nasir Rasheed does the work and replies to you himself. He is MAAT AATQB, a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians and an AAT qualified bookkeeper. Nexus takes three new clients a month so that stays true, rather than passing you to a rotation of account managers.
