If nobody has looked at your VAT scheme or your dividends since you incorporated, you are paying for filing.
Nasir Rasheed, Director
Accountant in Leighton Buzzard: your tax bill forecast within ninety days of joining
Accountant in Leighton Buzzard for established limited companies that want advice they can act on, not a set of accounts filed once a year and a bill nobody warned them about.
Most directors who call me have never been told whether their VAT scheme suits their actual costs. That answer arrives in the first thirty days here. What happens by day ninety is usually where the money is.
Nexus Tax and Accounting Solutions is a Milton Keynes accountancy practice working with limited companies in Leighton Buzzard, 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 you get with Nexus
Your tax bill, known a month early
Corporation tax and dividend headroom are forecast before the year end, so the money is set aside and the decision is yours.
A VAT scheme picked on your real costs
Standard, flat rate or cash accounting is chosen against what you actually spend, then reviewed as the business changes.
An answer from Nasir, the same week
You email the person who does the work, so nothing waits for a junior to check with someone else.
The decisions Leighton Buzzard directors make without advice
Three things owners tell me in the first call, and what each one quietly costs.
- VAT
“We have been on the standard scheme since the day we registered. Nobody has ever asked what we actually spend money on.”
A consultant buying overseas software reclaims almost nothing on the standard scheme. The wrong choice costs money every quarter, silently.
- Dividends
“I take the same salary and dividend I set when I incorporated. I have no idea whether there is headroom left this year.”
Drawing blind means paying more personal tax than you needed to, or overdrawing and creating a director’s loan to fix later.
- Switch
“That is the fourth account manager in two years. Each one asks me the questions I answered last time.”
Nothing carries forward. You end up explaining your own business to the people you pay to understand it.
- Day 90
What changes once the advice is in the room
You stop finding out the tax bill the week it is due. Your pay structure and VAT scheme are set for the business you run now, not the one you registered. Hiring, pricing and investment decisions get made on numbers you trust.
Quick check · no email
If your Leighton Buzzard accountant can’t 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 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 before the year end, not after it?
Could they get back to you themselves within a few working days?
That is a real gap, and it is costing you money you cannot see. The set-up review checks structure, VAT scheme, pay and software and tells you what to change.
You are in a reasonable position with one area nobody is watching. That is usually the VAT scheme or the dividend headroom, and it is the first thing the set-up review looks at.
You are well served, and you should stay where you are. The guides are there if you want a second opinion on one specific decision.
A filing-only accountant against advice included in the fee
Both file your accounts correctly. The difference is what you know before the bill arrives.
A filing-only accountant
Accounts and returns filed on time. That part is usually fine.
You hear from them at the year end, and rarely between.
The VAT scheme was set at registration and never revisited.
Advice exists, billed by the hour, if you think to ask for it.
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 lands.
VAT scheme chosen against your actual costs, then reviewed as you grow.
Planning included on a fair-use basis, and Nasir replies himself.
Eight questions about your own set-up
Answer these honestly before you decide whether to move accountant.
- 01
Has anyone reviewed your VAT scheme since you registered?
If not, you may be reclaiming VAT on almost nothing.
- 02
Do you know your corporation tax figure before the year end?
Knowing it after the year end removes every option you had.
- 03
Has your salary and dividend split been looked at this year?
Most splits are set at incorporation and left alone for years.
- 04
Do you know your dividend headroom right now?
Drawing without it is how director’s loan accounts appear.
- 05
Are your books current to within a month?
Old books mean decisions get made on guesswork.
- 06
Do you speak to the same person every time?
Account manager rotation means starting the explanation again.
- 07
Is your director self assessment handled with the company work?
Treated as a January exercise, it always costs more attention.
- 08
Does advice cost extra every time you ask?
If it does, you stop asking, which is the expensive part.

What clients say
What happens in your first ninety days with Nexus
Four steps, in order, from the handover to the first tax forecast.
Your old accountant is dealt with for you
Professional clearance and records collection are handled here. You do not chase anyone in Leighton Buzzard or anywhere else.
You know whether your VAT scheme is the right one
The set-up review covers structure, VAT scheme, salary and dividends and software, and tells you why each is right or what should change.
Your numbers are current when a decision comes up
Bookkeeping, payroll and the software get a routine, so a hiring or pricing question does not wait for the year end.
Your tax bill arrives before HMRC’s does
Corporation tax and dividend headroom are forecast ahead of the year end, so the money is there and the decision is yours.
Who Nexus is not the right accountant for
Start-ups in their first or second year, where there is not yet enough trading to plan around.
Sole traders turning over under £150,000, unless incorporation is clearly the next move.
Property-only landlords and cash businesses.
Owners buying on price alone, or who would rather not look at their numbers at all.
If you are an established limited company in Leighton Buzzard, the set-up review is where we find out whether this fits.
Questions Leighton Buzzard directors ask before moving
What does the monthly fee include for a limited company?
Year-end accounts, corporation tax, 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 selection, salary and dividend planning and a corporation tax forecast a month before the bill. Capital gains tax returns are charged separately. The fee is scoped after Nasir has reviewed your set-up.
We already have an accountant in Leighton Buzzard. Is it worth switching?
Only if something is missing. Ask your current accountant whether your VAT scheme is right, what your corporation tax figure will be before the year end, and whether they can reply within a few days. If all three answers come back clearly, stay. If they do not, the set-up review will show you what is being left on the table.
Do we have to change accounting software to work with Nexus?
Usually not. The software review is part of the set-up review, and if what you have works for your transaction volume and your team, it stays. A change is only recommended where the current set-up is causing errors, duplicated work or delays in your numbers. You get the reason either way.
What happens with our current accountant when we move?
Nexus handles it. Professional clearance is requested, records are collected and the handover is chased on your behalf, with no separate charge for the switch. You do not have to make the awkward call or follow up yourself. Once the records are in, the set-up review runs and the first-year timetable is agreed.
Does an accountant in Leighton Buzzard need to meet us in person?
Rarely. Nexus is based in Milton Keynes, a short drive from Leighton Buzzard, and works with clients across the UK remotely. Reviews and check-ins run by call or video, records move through your software, and you can phone on 01908 040493 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Meeting in person is possible where it genuinely helps.
Who actually does the work on our accounts?
Nasir Rasheed MAAT AATQB, a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians. He does the reviews, the planning and the replies himself, which is why Nexus takes three new clients a month. There is no rotation of junior account managers, and you are not asked to explain your business again every year.
