I will tell you your corporation tax a month before it lands. Most owners have never had that.
Nasir Rasheed, Director
Accountant in Milton Keynes for limited company directors who want advice as well as filing
Accountant in Milton Keynes for established limited companies that want their VAT scheme checked, their tax bill forecast before it lands, and a director who replies himself.
Most owners here have never been told why their salary and dividend split was set the way it was. It was decided at incorporation and nobody has looked since. There is usually a number attached to that, and it is worth finding out what yours is.

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, a month before it lands
Corporation tax and dividend headroom are forecast before the year end, so the money is there and the decision is yours.
A VAT scheme picked for your actual costs
Standard, flat rate or cash accounting, chosen on what your company really spends, and changed when the numbers say so.
An answer from Nasir the same week
You deal with one accountant who knows your company, rather than the fourth account manager in two years.
The decisions owners get wrong when nobody checks the set-up
Three things I hear in a first conversation, and what each one costs.
- VAT
“I have been on the standard scheme since we registered. My accountant set it up and we have never discussed it since.”
Nobody had checked how little input VAT he could actually reclaim. That question is answered in the set-up review.
- Dividends
“I asked in November how much I could take out. The answer arrived in February, attached to the accounts.”
The decision had already been made on guesswork. The figure was available months earlier.
- Switch
“In two years I have had four account managers. Every one of them asked me the same questions about my company.”
Nobody built up a picture of the business. Advice needs somebody who remembers last year.
- Day 90
What changes once the advice is in the room
You are told what your corporation tax will be while you can still act on it. Your VAT scheme and your pay structure are checked against the way the company actually trades. When a hire or a large invoice comes up, you ask one person who already knows the numbers.
Quick check · no email
If your Milton Keynes accountant 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
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 a month before the bill lands?
Could they get back to you this week without you chasing twice?
That is a real gap, and it is usually costing you something every quarter. The set-up review is where it gets measured.
Your position is reasonable, so the question is which one is missing. Nine times in ten it is the VAT scheme, and that is the first thing Nasir checks when you join.
You are well served and there is no reason to move. Read the guides if you want a second view on your set-up.
The difference between an accountant who files and one who advises
A year-end accountant who files on time is doing a real job, and this is what that job looks like with advice added.
Filing only
You see the accounts months after the year end, when nothing can be changed.
The VAT scheme was chosen at registration and has never been reviewed since.
Salary and dividends stay exactly as they were set at incorporation.
Your question goes to whoever is on the account this year.
Nexus
Corporation tax and dividend headroom forecast a month before the bill lands.
VAT scheme tested against your real costs, then changed if the numbers support it.
Salary and dividend split reviewed yearly and before any large decision.
Nasir replies himself, which is why Nexus takes three new clients a month.
Eight things worth checking in your own set-up
Answer yes or no. The noes are what the review looks at first.
- 01
Do you know your corporation tax figure before the year end?
If it arrives with the accounts, it arrives too late to act on.
- 02
Has anyone compared flat rate and standard VAT on your actual costs?
Low input VAT often means the default scheme is the expensive one.
- 03
Has your salary and dividend split been reviewed since incorporation?
Most splits were set once and never looked at again.
- 04
Do you know your dividend headroom today?
Taking more than the reserves allow creates a problem that lands later.
- 05
Do your books reconcile month by month?
Decisions made on stale figures are guesses with a spreadsheet attached.
- 06
Is payroll run on schedule with pensions filed?
Late filing costs money the business has to earn back twice.
- 07
Is your self assessment handled alongside the company work?
Treating it as a January job means the planning was already missed.
- 08
Do you speak to the same accountant every time?
Advice needs somebody who remembers your company from last year.

VAT returns, bookkeeping, payroll and pensions

Tax planning included, not sold by the hour
VAT scheme selection, salary and dividend planning and a corporation tax forecast a month ahead, on a fair-use basis.
Entry 01
Who you are actually dealing with
Nexus is one accountant, so his qualification matters more than a firm name.
Clients described by type. Names withheld.
What clients say
What the first ninety days look like
Four steps, starting before you move anything.
You know whether moving is worth it
A short conversation about your company, your year end and whether Nexus is the right fit.
Your set-up is reviewed and written down
Structure, VAT scheme, salary and dividends and software, with a written list of what to change and why.
Your books are current again
Bookkeeping gets a routine, and the handover from your previous accountant is dealt with for you.
You know your tax position early
Corporation tax and dividend headroom are forecast, and check-ins every few months keep the plan current.
Who Nexus is not the right accountant for
Start-ups in their first or second year, where there is too little trading history to advise on.
Sole traders turning over under £150,000, where incorporation is not yet the obvious move.
Property-only landlords and cash businesses.
Owners buying on price alone, who will not use the advice that comes with the fee.
If you run an established limited company, the set-up review will tell you quickly whether moving is worth it.
Questions owners ask before they move
What does the monthly fee include with an accountant in Milton Keynes like Nexus?
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. Capital gains tax returns are charged separately.
We already have an accountant. Is it worth switching?
Only if something is missing. If your current accountant can confirm your VAT scheme is right, give you a tax figure before the bill lands and reply within the week, stay where you are. If not, the set-up review shows you what those gaps are worth before you commit to anything.
Do we have to change accounting software to work with Nexus?
No. Nasir reviews the software you already use as part of the set-up review and tells you whether it suits the way you trade. If a change would genuinely help the bookkeeping routine he will say so and explain why. If it works, it stays as it is.
What happens with our current accountant when we move to Nexus?
Nexus handles the handover. That means professional clearance with your outgoing accountant, collecting your records and prior year figures, the set-up review, and a timetable for your first year of deadlines. There is no separate charge for it and you do not have to chase anybody yourself.
Is Nexus an accountant in Milton Keynes only, or do you work remotely?
Nexus is based in Milton Keynes at Stacey Bushes and works across Bletchley, Newport Pagnell, Wolverton, Stony Stratford, Buckingham and Leighton Buzzard. Clients elsewhere in the UK are served remotely, and in practice Nasir rarely needs to meet in person. Calls, email and the quiz cover most of it.
Who actually does the work, and what are Nasir’s qualifications?
Nasir Rasheed does the work. 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 there is no rotation of junior account managers, which means the person who reviews your set-up is the person who replies.
