The service
| Before (Chaos) | After (Clarity) |
|---|---|
| Backlog, fines, HMRC dread. | Backlog cleared. Fines overturned. Caught up. |
| “Don’t open that envelope.” | Boring, predictable filings — on time. |
| Compliance risk and unresolved penalties. | Compliant, caught up and penalties recovered. |
How it works
Backlog clearance
Full reconstruction of missing records, invoices and documents. Bank statements reconciled. All periods caught up. Typically 30-60 days depending on backlog size.
Penalty appeals
HMRC penalties have appeal mechanisms. If your previous accountant was at fault, you have a reasonable excuse case. We’ll handle the appeals and relief claims with HMRC.
Ongoing management
Once caught up, transition to monthly management accounts, fixed fees and ongoing compliance. All filings on time. Direct access to Annabel.
Proof
Ten months of bookkeeping behind, two HMRC fines, Companies House warnings. Annabel cleared it in 30 days, overturned the penalties and recovered £10,500. I stopped dreading the post.
Questions?
How long will it take to get us sorted?
Depends on the backlog size. Most we can get on top of in 30-60 days. We’ll map it out on the first call so there are no surprises.
Can HMRC penalties really be reversed?
Often yes. HMRC has relief provisions if you have a reasonable excuse. If the backlog was your previous accountant’s fault, you have a case. We’ll know after we look at the details.
What if records are missing?
We work with what you have. Bank statements, emails, supplier invoices. We can reconstruct most things. It’s not elegant, but it works.
Will this be painful?
Less painful than the dread you’re living with now. We handle the heavy lifting. You just need to trust us for four weeks. Most people say it was the best decision they made.
