Everyone sends records in January
Because nothing asked them in September. The work is evenly spread and the records are not, and that is a solvable problem.
Foundation Who we build for Accountants
January is not busy because of the work. It is busy because two hundred people have not sent their records. We build the site that wins the client and the system that chases the paperwork without you.
The bit that hurts
Practices do not lose time to accounts preparation. They lose it to onboarding, to chasing, and to answering the same question about a deadline forty times.
Because nothing asked them in September. The work is evenly spread and the records are not, and that is a solvable problem.
Engagement letter, ID, proof of address, authorisation codes. All by email, all half-completed, all sitting in somebody's inbox.
Year ends, VAT quarters, payroll, confirmation statements and self-assessment, tracked in a sheet nobody wants to own.
So does every other practice site. It ranks for nothing, says nothing specific, and gives a prospective client no reason to pick you.
An example site
Most accountancy sites refuse to say what anything costs, so every enquiry starts with a price conversation. This example puts the numbers on the page and filters out the wrong enquiries before they arrive.
Ledgerwood & Co is a fictional practice. This is a working example site.
What we build for you
None of this replaces your accounts production software. It replaces the spreadsheet, the inbox and the four hours a week of chasing around it.
Year ends, VAT quarters, payroll dates, confirmation statements and self-assessment, all on one board with what is at risk highlighted.
A reminder in September, another in October, and an escalating nudge as January gets closer. Sent on its own, in your name.
Engagement letter signed online, ID and proof of address uploaded, and authorisation requests tracked to completion. Three weeks becomes two days.
One link, no password to remember, showing what you need from them and what you have done. Documents in and out, in one place.
Build a monthly fee from the services selected, send it as a proper proposal, and get it accepted online with the direct debit set up.
Which jobs are with which member of staff, which are waiting on the client, and which are genuinely stuck.
The system behind it
This is the client and job side we build: everything on one board, with the client-facing portal attached to it. Shown here as a fictional trades business, but the machinery is the same.
An example system — every name and figure invented for this page.
How it goes
Practices usually start with the website, because the enquiries pay for the rest. Then onboarding, then deadlines and chasing, in that order.
Services, fees, the client mix and which month of the year hurts most.
Live, with your services and prices on it.
Engagement letters, ID collection and authorisations, set up as one flow.
Deadlines and automatic reminders, so next January is not this January.
Sound like your week?
Tell us what eats it — you'll have a fixed price back today, usually within the hour.
Where we work
Small businesses look for an accountant near them and then check whether the fees are stated. Every site is built for both — local pages and honest numbers.
On your doorstep
We're in Windlesham, and we'll come to you — a coffee and a whiteboard beats a video call. Anywhere within twenty miles, plus the whole of London.
And everywhere else
We build for practices across the UK. Everything here works over a call, and plenty of our clients we have never met in person.
What it costs
A practice website starts at £250. Onboarding, deadline tracking and the client portal are quoted free.
Or £220 up front and £19 a month — we host it, back it up nightly and keep the certificate valid. Compare both →
Get my priceNothing gets built until you've seen the price, and the price doesn't move afterwards. If it takes us longer than we thought, that's our problem, not your invoice.
Quick answers
From £250 built and handed over, or £220 up front plus £19 a month hosted and maintained. Client management is quoted free and priced on what it does.
No, and we will tell you honestly if you do not need us. This replaces the spreadsheet of deadlines, the onboarding email chain and the manual chasing — not your ledgers.
Yes, automatically, in your name, on the schedule you set. That single feature is why most practices ask us for this.
Yes, with ID and proof of address collected in the same flow and the authorisation requests tracked to completion.
It sits on our own UK server, backed up nightly, with certificates renewed automatically. We will walk you through exactly what is stored and where before you commit.
We think so, and the practices who have done it tell us the enquiries got better rather than fewer. Your call, though — it is your site.
Answered?
Two fields and a tap. You'll hear back from a real person, usually today.
