Disclaimer & Service-Specific Terms
These Disclaimer & Service-Specific Terms must be read together with our Terms & Conditions and form part of our engagement with you.
A. General Disclaimer
No Legal Advice
The information and services provided on this site do not constitute legal or financial advice. We are not a law firm and do not offer legal services. Our services are limited to accounting, bookkeeping, and tax compliance matters.
For legal matters including contracts, disputes, employment law, or litigation, you should consult a qualified solicitor or legal professional.
Accuracy of Client Data
We rely on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by you. We are not liable for any penalties or investigations resulting from misinformation or omission on your part.
You are responsible for:
- Providing complete and accurate financial records
- Disclosing all sources of income
- Notifying us of any changes to your circumstances
- Maintaining proper documentation as required by HMRC
- Reviewing and approving all submissions before filing
Third-Party Software Use
We use software platforms (e.g., Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Sage, Capium) to prepare and file your returns. While we take reasonable care in using these tools, we are not liable for issues arising from technical or service failures of third-party tools.
Third-party software limitations may include:
- System downtime or maintenance periods
- Data synchronization delays
- Integration issues with banks or HMRC
- Software bugs or calculation errors
We use only HMRC-approved, MTD-compliant software and follow best practices in data management. However, we cannot guarantee 100% uptime or error-free operation of third-party systems beyond our control.

- Completion and submission of CT600 to HMRC
- Filing of accounts with Companies House
You are responsible for reviewing and approving the filing before final submission to HMRC. Late filing penalties due to delays in providing information or approvals are not our responsibility.

Service Coverage:
- Quarterly or monthly VAT return preparation

Standard Bookkeeping Includes:
- Bank transaction categorization
