RR Accountants

RR Accountants: accounting and advisory for UK businesses

RR Accountants is a UK-based accounting and advisory firm focused on business owners. Founded by Iftikhar ur Rashid in 2010, it has 16 years of activity and serves clients nationwide through online delivery and nine physical offices in the UK. Its approach combines compliance with advice on business decisions, under its own system called Compliance Vault™.

Compliance and advisory services

The firm covers the usual accounting and tax obligations of British companies. Its service catalogue includes annual accounts and Companies House filing, corporation tax computation and planning, Self Assessment tax returns for directors, contractors, landlords, and sole traders, VAT registration and returns with MTD compliance, bookkeeping with monthly close, payroll with RTI submissions, pensions and P11D, company formation with structural advice and registration with HMRC and Companies House, and R&D tax credits with claim preparation and support for HMRC enquiries.

The Compliance Vault™ system

Compliance Vault™ is the firm's proprietary system, structured in three components. The first, Evidence Pack, keeps records organised and audit-ready throughout the year, rather than gathering them in January. The second, Deadline Lock, tracks all HMRC and Companies House deadlines and ensures timely filing with advance notice to the client. The third, Portfolio Reporting Pack, delivers clean monthly figures before the 7th of each month so the client knows their tax position throughout the year.

Client profiles

The firm works with five types of clients, all under the same system, a named accountant, and published service standards:

• Limited company directors: profitable companies with one to three directors and no internal finance team, with turnover between £200,000 and £2 million. Annual accounts, CT600, salary and dividends, pension planning, and management accounts are covered.
• Contractors: professionals with a personal service company (PSC), IR35 risk, contract changes, and need for fast response. Includes IR35 assessment, Self Assessment, payroll, VAT, and named accountant continuity.
• Landlords and property investors: personal or SPV portfolios, with MTD Income Tax, Section 24, or capital gains planning. Property records, portfolio reporting, MTD readiness, and annual planning review are offered.
• Growing businesses: first two to four years, structural decisions, VAT registration, or first hires. Includes structural advice, payroll setup, VAT, bookkeeping, and monthly visibility.
• Established SMEs: multi-year businesses needing better compliance, reporting, and advisory rhythm. Compliance Vault™, management accounts, annual compliance review, and written service standards are applied.

Working methodology and published standards

The process begins with a 20-minute call to confirm the fit between both parties. If positive, the next step is explained in writing and the scope is set before any work starts. Onboarding includes an engagement letter, KYC, direct debit via Adfin, software access, and a briefing session on Compliance Vault™, all completed within 24 hours of verbal confirmation. The firm publishes service standards committed in writing in each engagement letter: WhatsApp response usually within 30 minutes during working hours, email within one working day, phone answered usually within 10 minutes, monthly close before the 7th, and a client response window of 48 working hours. Each client undergoes an Annual Compliance Review where engagement terms, KYC records, service scope, and payment arrangements are updated.

Admission policy and fee model

RR Accountants publicly filters its prospective clients. The 20-minute call acts as a real filter, not a formality. The firm states that it does not work with those seeking the cheapest package, those pursuing aggressive tax schemes or grey-area positions, those who chronically send records late — the system requires documentation before the 7th of each month — or those who only want an annual filing without advice. The fee model is based on a scoped monthly fee, agreed before starting and determined by entity type, bookkeeping quality, VAT, payroll, advisory depth, and deadlines. There is no hourly billing and no surprise charges.

Coverage and presence

The firm serves clients throughout the UK through online delivery and has nine physical offices for meetings by appointment. Among the locations cited are Birmingham, Belfast, London, Manchester, and Bradford, plus a service area in Glasgow. The Birmingham address is 380 Stratford Road, Sparkhill, postcode B11 4AB.
