You pay an accountant for advice. If the first you hear about the tax bill is the demand, you aren’t getting it.

Accountant in Buckingham: your set-up reviewed and your tax bill forecast within ninety days
Accountant in Buckingham for established limited companies, including rural trades, construction firms with staff, and consultancies that invoice high values at low volume.
Most owners around Buckingham have never had anyone check whether their VAT scheme suits what they actually spend. It is a short question that changes the figure every quarter. Below is exactly what the first ninety days with Nexus look like.
Nexus Tax and Accounting Solutions is a Milton Keynes accountancy practice serving limited companies in Buckingham, run by Nasir Rasheed MAAT AATQB.

What you get with Nexus
Your corporation tax figure a month early
The bill and your dividend headroom are forecast before the year end, so the money is set aside.
A VAT scheme chosen on your real costs
Standard, flat rate or cash accounting, picked for what you actually spend rather than what was ticked at registration.
A reply from Nasir the same week
You email the accountant who does the work, not the fourth account manager in two years.
Where it usually goes wrong for owners around Buckingham
Three decisions that cost real money when nobody checks them in advance.
- VAT
“We have been on the standard scheme since we registered. Box 4 is almost empty every quarter and nobody has ever mentioned it.”
Every quarter on the wrong scheme is money that was never coming back. That question is where the set-up review starts.
- Dividends
“I took a dividend in March for the van and the yard deposit. In January I found out the company did not have the reserves.”
That becomes an overdrawn director’s loan and a tax charge, over a decision that could simply have been timed differently.
- Switch
“Four account managers in two years. The last one introduced himself the same week he asked for our year-end records.”
Nobody who changes every nine months learns your business. Advice needs someone who remembers last year’s numbers.
- Day 90
What changes once the advice is in the room
You stop finding things out after the fact. The VAT scheme, the salary and dividend split and the tax bill are all decided before the deadline, not explained after it. Then hiring, pricing and buying decisions get made on numbers you trust.
Quick check · no email
If your accountant in Buckingham cannot tell you whether your VAT scheme is right, what your tax bill will be before it lands, and reply this week, you have the wrong accountant
Answer three questions about your current accountant honestly and see where you stand.
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 a month before the bill lands?
Could you get a reply from the person who actually does your accounts within a week?
That is a real gap, and it costs you something every quarter it stays open. The set-up review is where it gets closed.
Two out of three is a reasonable position, and one area is worth checking. The one most owners lose is continuity, which is why Nexus takes three new clients a month.
You are well served and there is nothing here worth moving for. Read the guides if you want a second view on your VAT scheme.
A year-end accountant, or advice through the year
Both file the same returns. The difference is when you find things out.
A filing-only accountant
Files the accounts and returns correctly and on time.
You hear from them once a year, usually after the year end has closed.
The VAT scheme stays as it was set at registration.
Advice is available, and it is billed by the hour.
Nexus
Files the same returns, from books kept current through the year.
Corporation tax and dividend headroom forecast a month before the bill.
VAT scheme reviewed against your actual costs, and changed when it should be.
Advice sits in the monthly fee on a fair-use basis, so you ask before you decide.
Eight questions about your own set-up
Answer these about your company as it stands today.
- 01
Has anyone compared your VAT scheme with your last four quarters of costs?
If box 4 is nearly empty, the scheme is worth testing.
- 02
Do you know your corporation tax figure before the year end closes?
Knowing it in advance is what keeps the money there.
- 03
Has your salary and dividend split been reviewed since incorporation?
Most have not been touched since the company was formed.
- 04
Do you know your dividend headroom this month?
Reserves, not the bank balance, decide what you can take.
- 05
Are the books current enough to answer a hiring question this week?
Stale books turn a decision into a guess.
- 06
Do payroll and pension filings go out on schedule without you prompting?
Prompting is a sign the routine is missing.
- 07
Is your self assessment handled with the company work rather than in January?
It should fall out of the company routine.
- 08
Will you deal with the same person next year?
Continuity is the part most firms quietly drop.

Why the practice takes three new clients a month
The cap is the reason the advice stays personal.
Clients described by type. Names withheld.
What clients say
What the first ninety days look like
From handover to a forecast tax bill, in the order it actually happens.
Your old accountant handed over without you chasing
Professional clearance and records collection are dealt with by Nexus, with no separate charge and no reminder emails from you.
Structure, VAT scheme and pay checked and explained
Nasir reviews the company structure, VAT scheme, salary and dividends and software, then tells you what should change and why, even when nothing does.
Books current enough to decide on
Bookkeeping and payroll settle into a routine, so when a hire, a van or a price rise comes up the numbers are already there.
Tax bill and dividend headroom forecast ahead
Corporation tax and your dividend position are mapped before the year end, then a check-in every few months raises anything early.
Who this is not for
Start-ups in their first year or two are better served elsewhere.
Sole traders under £150,000 in turnover are not a fit; at £150,000 or more, incorporation is worth a conversation.
Property-only landlords and cash businesses are declined.
Owners buying on price alone will find cheaper filing elsewhere.
If you run an established limited company in or around Buckingham, the set-up review tells you quickly whether moving is worth it.
Questions owners in Buckingham ask
What does the monthly fee include for a limited company in Buckingham?
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 review, salary and dividend planning and a corporation tax forecast a month ahead. The fee is scoped after Nasir has reviewed your set-up. Capital gains returns are charged separately.
We already have an accountant. Is it worth switching?
Not always. If your filings are on time, your VAT scheme has been tested against your real costs and you know your tax bill before it lands, stay put. The reason most directors move is the third one: the bill arrives as news. The set-up review answers that question before you commit to anything.
Do we have to move to different accounting software?
No. Nexus works with the software you already use where it does the job properly. Often the bookkeeping routine is the problem rather than the tool, and the routine is what gets fixed. If a change is genuinely worth making, Nasir will say what it involves. If nothing needs changing, he says that too.
What happens with our current accountant when we move?
Nexus handles the handover. That means professional clearance, requesting your records and getting your filing history in order, with no separate charge. You do not chase your previous accountant yourself. Most handovers complete inside a few weeks, and the set-up review begins as soon as the records and access are in place.
Does an accountant in Buckingham need to meet us in person?
Rarely. Nexus is based in Milton Keynes, a short drive from Buckingham, and works with clients across the UK remotely. Most of the work happens by phone, email and video, and Nasir rarely needs to meet face to face. Call 01908 040493 or email info@nexustasl.co.uk, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
Do you work with rural trades and consultancies around Buckingham?
Yes. Nexus works with established construction and trades businesses that carry staff and overheads, and with consultants and contractors who invoice high values at low volume. Both are common in and around Buckingham. Turnover is usually £150,000 or more. Start-ups, property-only landlords and cash businesses are not a fit.
