RJBS Accountants

RJBS Accountants, an independent accountancy practice in Langport

RJBS Accountants Limited is an independent firm of accountants and tax advisers based in Langport, Somerset. The practice describes its work as a combination of bespoke accountancy, taxation and business consultancy services, aimed at both businesses and private clients. Its stated approach is to prepare accounting records and supply the management information a client needs so that the owner can concentrate on running the business.

The firm presents itself as a local practice with a declared aim of providing clear, concise information at competitive prices, and frames its role around relieving clients of the administrative load of running their own business. It also states that advice is tailored to the individual client and business rather than drawn from a standard model.

Accounts, tax and compliance work

The service list published by the firm covers the core compliance and reporting cycle:

• Accounts preparation
• Self Assessment tax returns
• Cash flow management
• Payroll services
• Bookkeeping services
• Tax planning
• Management information and accounts
• VAT returns
• Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) returns

Bookkeeping is also presented in connection with Making Tax Digital, and the site groups bookkeeping and payroll together as one of its main service areas alongside VAT and CIS. The practice positions itself as able to help clients meet the statutory requirements of the tax system and what it calls the regulatory requirements surrounding accounts.

Regulation and professional membership

According to the information published on its site, RJBS Accountants Limited is regulated by the Institute of Financial Accountants under membership number 279914 and holds a valid practising certificate allowing it to engage in public practice in the United Kingdom. The directors are described as members of both the Institute of Financial Accountants and the Institute of Public Accountants, each holding a valid practising certificate.

The people behind the practice

Two directors are identified on the site, both carrying the AFA MIPA designations.

Jemma Pyke trained as an accountant in Somerset from 2004. She reports seven years with the same firm of accountants before setting up on her own after maternity leave, and she heads the practice's business services department.

Published commentary on tax and filing changes

The firm's news section carries short updates for clients. Among the items listed at the time of writing were the forthcoming changes to accounts filing, which the site said would be implemented from 1 April 2028 and would require small companies and micro entities to file profit and loss accounts with Companies House, with the option to opt out of publishing that information on the public register. Another entry pointed to downloadable 2026/27 tax rates and allowances, and a third described a temporary reduction in VAT from 20% to 5% on summer attractions between 25 June and 1 September 2026, covering ticket prices for adults and children at attractions such as fairs, theme parks, zoos and museums.
