My Tax Helper

My Tax Helper: fixed-fee accounting for small businesses in London and the South East

My Tax Helper is an accountancy practice based in Sutton, Surrey, that works with self-employed people, landlords, limited company directors and growing small businesses across London and the South East. The firm presents itself as a friendly practice focused on keeping clients compliant, reducing their tax bills and giving them a sense of control over their finances. It operates as a CIMA member practice, supervised for anti-money-laundering by CIMA, and is registered with the ICO under reference ZB214945.

The practice is a certified QuickBooks Partner and positions itself around Making Tax Digital (MTD), HMRC's move to digital record-keeping and quarterly updates. It sets clients up on QuickBooks as standard, with bank feeds and records flowing in automatically, and states that the software is included in its fixed monthly fee.

Services for sole traders, landlords and limited companies

The firm organises its work around several client profiles. For sole traders and landlords, it prepares Self-Assessment tax returns, handles MTD for Income Tax and reviews allowable expenses. For limited company directors, it covers year-end accounts and Corporation Tax, payroll and RTI submissions, and director's self-assessment.

Its broader service list includes:

• Limited company accounts: full statutory accounts, Corporation Tax returns and Companies House filings, handled end to end.
• Self-Assessment: returns for the self-employed and landlords, prepared and filed well before the January deadline.
• Bookkeeping: reconciled books maintained in real time in QuickBooks.
• VAT returns: registration, advice on the right scheme and quarterly filing, fully MTD-compliant.
• Payroll: monthly payroll runs, payslips, pension submissions and RTI filings to HMRC.
• Making Tax Digital: digital record-keeping and software set up ahead of the client's deadline.

The practice also lists SEIS and EIS funding, cryptocurrency tax and construction industry work among its service areas.

CIS accounting for contractors and subcontractors

A significant part of the firm's offer is aimed at the construction industry. For CIS contractors, it handles monthly CIS returns, subcontractor statements and company accounts. For subcontractors, it covers CIS returns, tax refunds, subcontractor verification and gross payment status. The practice frames this work as taking the paperwork off contractors so they can stay on site.

Fixed fees and the onboarding process

My Tax Helper works on simple fixed monthly fees based on business type and turnover, and states that it has no hidden charges. Its website includes an estimate tool that produces an illustrative monthly figure — for example, £65 per month plus VAT for a sole trader with turnover under £20,000 — with the final price confirmed on a free call. The firm describes the first call as a relaxed, no-obligation 15-minute conversation.

Switching to the practice is presented as a three-step process: a call, uploading documents through a secure portal, and then handing over the ongoing compliance work. The firm says it manages the entire handover from a previous accountant, including requesting records on the client's behalf, and that most clients are fully switched within a few days. It works remotely through its online portal, so proximity to the Sutton office is not required.

Support, tools and coverage

The practice offers unlimited support, with a dedicated accounts helper answering questions without watching the clock, and says it proactively looks for reliefs and allowances. It also publishes a set of 30 free tools, including an income tax calculator, a sole trader versus limited company comparison, a VAT calculator, a salary versus dividends calculator and a tax savings finder.

My Tax Helper is based in Sutton and lists Sutton, Surrey, Croydon, Wallington and Morden among the areas it covers, while serving clients across London and the South East more broadly.
