Anyone can file your accounts on time. The question is whether anyone told you what they meant.
Nasir Rasheed, Director
Limited company accountant in Milton Keynes: filing on time, plus advice you can act on
Limited company accountant in Milton Keynes for established companies that want the filing done properly and the advice that should come with it.
Most directors can get their accounts filed somewhere. What they cannot get is a straight answer on the VAT scheme, the dividend or the next hire. That gap is what the set-up review exists to close.
Nexus Tax and Accounting Solutions is a Milton Keynes limited company accountant run by Nasir Rasheed MAAT AATQB. One monthly fee covers year-end 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 your year end, so the money is there when the bill arrives.
A VAT scheme chosen on your actual costs
Standard, flat rate or cash accounting, picked against what your company really spends rather than what you ticked at registration.
An answer from Nasir the same week
You deal with the accountant who did the work, because Nexus takes three new clients a month.
The decisions that cost money when nobody advises you
Three things directors tell me in the first call, and what each one had already cost.
- Tax bill
“I found out what I owed in corporation tax nine days before the payment date, and the dividend had already gone out.”
The money had to come out of the next quarter’s invoices. He took nothing out of the company for two months.
- VAT
“We have been on the standard scheme since we registered. Nobody has ever asked what our costs actually look like.”
Box 4 was almost empty. The default scheme was charging more than the right one would have, every quarter.
- Switch
“I am on my fourth account manager in two years, and every one of them asks me the same questions again.”
The filing was fine. Nobody knew the business well enough to say whether he could afford the hire.
- Day 90
What changes once the advice is in the room
You know the corporation tax number and the dividend headroom before the year closes. You pay the VAT the right scheme charges. Hiring, pricing and investment decisions get made on figures you have already seen.
Quick check · no email
If your 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 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 bill and dividend headroom before the year end?
Could they reply themselves this week, without handing you to a new account manager?
That is a real gap, and it is usually costing something you cannot see from the filing. The set-up review checks structure, VAT scheme, pay and software and tells you what to change.
That is a reasonable position with one area nobody has looked at. The set-up review is the check that covers it, and every new client gets it when they join.
You are well served, and there is no reason to move. The guides are there if you want a second view on the VAT scheme or the salary and dividend split.
What a filing-only firm gives you, and what advice adds
Both get the accounts filed on time. Only one tells you what the numbers mean before you decide.
A filing-only firm
Accounts and the CT600 filed by the deadline, which matters and is the floor.
The VAT scheme you picked at registration, left exactly where it is.
You hear the tax number once the year is closed and the cash is spent.
Questions answered by whoever holds the account this year, when there is time.
Nexus
The same filing, prepared from books that reconcile, on the same deadlines.
VAT scheme reviewed against your real costs: standard, flat rate or cash accounting.
Corporation tax and dividend position forecast a month before the bill lands.
Nasir replies himself, because the practice takes three new clients a month.
Eight things worth checking about your own set-up
Answer yes or no for your company as it stands today.
- 01
Do you know your corporation tax bill before the year closes?
If not, the cash decision is being made for you.
- 02
Has anyone compared standard, flat rate and cash accounting on your costs?
Low input VAT usually means the default scheme is the expensive one.
- 03
Has the salary and dividend split been reviewed since incorporation?
Thresholds move, and so does your profit.
- 04
Do you know your dividend headroom right now?
Taking more than the reserves allow creates a problem that lands later.
- 05
Do your books reconcile before the accounts are prepared?
Accounts built on unreconciled books hide the number you need.
- 06
Is the confirmation statement filed without you chasing it?
Small filing, avoidable trouble at Companies House.
- 07
Do you speak to the same person every time?
Advice depends on someone knowing the business already.
- 08
Is advice included in what you pay, or billed when you ask?
If asking costs extra, you stop asking.
What one monthly fee covers
Everything a limited company has to file, with the planning built in.

VAT scheme, pay structure and the tax forecast
Scheme selection, salary and dividend planning and a corporation tax forecast a month ahead, on a fair-use basis.
Entry 01
The review every new client gets when they join
Most owners have never had their whole set-up checked in one sitting.
Clients described by type. Names withheld.
What clients say
What the first ninety days look like
Four steps from the review to a year you can see coming.
You know what should change
Nasir reviews structure, VAT scheme, salary and dividends and software, and tells you why each is right or what to change.
The books are current again
Bookkeeping and software get a routine, and the handover from your previous accountant is dealt with for you.
Your tax number arrives early
Corporation tax and dividend headroom are forecast ahead of the year end, so the money is there and the decision is yours.
Things get flagged before they bite
A check-in every few months raises anything concerning and confirms the plan, with prompt replies in between.
Who Nexus is not the right accountant for
Start-ups in year one or two, where there is not yet a set-up to review.
Sole traders turning over under £150,000, where incorporation is not the obvious move.
Property-only landlords and cash businesses.
Owners choosing on price alone, or who would rather not look at their numbers.
If you are an established limited company in Milton Keynes, the set-up review tells you where you stand before anything is agreed.
Questions directors ask before they move
What does the monthly fee include for a limited company?
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 lands. The fee is scoped after Nasir has reviewed your set-up.
We already have an accountant in Milton Keynes. Is it worth switching?
Only if something is missing. Use the three questions above: whether your VAT scheme has been checked against your costs, whether you get your tax number before the year closes, and whether you get a reply the same week. Three yeses and you should stay. Anything else is worth a set-up review.
Do we have to change our bookkeeping software?
No. Software is one of the four things the set-up review looks at, alongside structure, VAT scheme and pay. If what you use works, it stays and gets a routine so the numbers are current. A change is only suggested when the current set-up is causing real problems at year end.
What happens with our current accountant if we move to Nexus?
You do not chase them yourself. Nexus handles professional clearance and collects your records, then runs the set-up review and sets out the first-year timetable, so you know what is filed and when. There is no separate charge for the handover. Most directors only have to sign one letter.
Do I need a limited company accountant in Milton Keynes if my company works remotely?
Nexus is based in Milton Keynes at Stacey Bushes and works with clients across the UK remotely. Nasir rarely needs to meet in person, and the review, the forecasts and the check-ins all work over a call. Local clients in Bletchley, Newport Pagnell, Wolverton and Buckingham are handled the same way.
How quickly can a limited company accountant in Milton Keynes take on our company?
Nexus takes three new clients a month, on purpose, so you deal with Nasir rather than a rotation of junior account managers. That means there is sometimes a short wait for a start date. Take the two-minute quiz and you will find out quickly whether the practice is the right fit.
