How your accountant should help you

Choosing an accountant isn’t just about the services they offer — it’s about the support you receive day-to-day. Here are the qualities you should expect from any accountant who genuinely has your best interests at heart:

Approachable
Whether it’s a quick call, an email, or even a WhatsApp message, you should feel comfortable reaching out whenever a question pops up. No query is too small, and you shouldn’t feel restricted by the time of day or week.
Instils confidence
Your accountant should give you peace of mind that your financial and tax affairs are handled with care, accuracy and your personal goals in mind — whatever those goals may be.
Competent & proactive
You deserve advice that’s not only correct but valuable. A good accountant keeps you informed, explains the “why”, and ensures you’re benefiting from the best tax planning opportunities available to you.
Friendly & easy
to work with
It sounds obvious, but it matters. It’s far easier to run your business when you actually like the people you rely on. Approachability and friendliness shouldn’t be treated as optional extras.
Knows when to bring in extra support
A great accountant recognises when you need additional help — whether that’s improving an internal process that isn’t working or involving a specialist where your tax or legal position becomes more complex. The goal is always to get you the right solution, not just the quickest one.
Clear, fair &
time-based fees
You should never feel fearful of a surprise bill. Transparent pricing and clear scopes give you certainty about what you're paying for — and why — so you can budget confidently.
No unwanted surprises
Save surprises for birthdays and Christmas. Your tax bills, deadlines, and reporting obligations should be predictable, communicated in advance, and managed with a calm, organised approach.

Making tax digital is coming. We’ll make it simple.

From April 2026, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment will require many sole traders and landlords to maintain digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC. For many, the change can feel daunting, especially if you are used to managing paperwork or relying on older systems. That is exactly where Mayday Accountants steps in.

We guide you through the transition with clear, practical support, set up the right software for your needs, keep your records organised and take care of every submission on your behalf. The entire process becomes structured, stress-free and far easier to manage. With Mayday, your tax obligations become painless, digital and fully under control. Ready to get ahead of the new rules and avoid the last-minute scramble?

A straightforward alternative to paid software

For clients who want a simple, cost-effective way to stay organised, the Mayday App does exactly that. It’s a free, no-frills tool designed to help manage the basics without the expense or complexity of paid software. Ideal for cost-conscious businesses that want clarity and control, without committing to another monthly subscription.

What our clients say...

Excellent service from Chris. I have used him since I set up Kirkby Microwave Ltd, eight years ago in 2014.

He is happy to take accounts in any format you choose… He does not insist you use any particular software. Personally I want to avoid vendor-lock-in with proprietary commercial software.
