The Problem We Fixed
We Started to
Change That
Change That
Most sole traders do not need a large accounting firm. They need someone affordable, easy to reach, and completely transparent about cost.
Most accountants charge by the hour. You never know what the final bill will be. Some charge hundreds of pounds for a straightforward tax return. Others take weeks to respond. Many still expect you to visit their office during your working day.
We started Platform Accountants to change that. And that is still exactly how we work today.
One fixed price agreed before we start
Not after. Not at the end of a call. Upfront. Always. No hourly billing. No hidden charges.
Everything handled online
No office visits. Send documents by WhatsApp, email, or upload. We do the rest.
A real person who replies within 1 day
Not a chatbot. Not a queue. A real accountant on WhatsApp, phone, or email.
What We Believe
Three Things That Guide Everything We Do
These three beliefs have guided every decision we have made since we started. Hover each card to read more.
Pricing Should Be Honest
You should know what you pay before we start. Upfront. Always.
Pricing Should Be Honest
You should know what you pay before we start. Not after. Not at the end of a call. Upfront. Always. One fixed fee. No hourly rates. No hidden charges.
Plain English Not Jargon
A tax return involves numbers. It does not need to involve confusion.
Plain English Not Jargon
We write every report in plain English so you understand exactly what you owe and why. No confusion. No jargon. Just clear numbers you can understand and act on.
Real People Deserve Real Answers
Behind every return is a person running their own business.
Real People Deserve Real Answers
Behind every tax return is a person running their own business. They deserve to speak to a real accountant, not a chatbot, not a queue, not an automated email.
Why Sole Traders Trust Us
What 20 Years Has Taught Us
We have been serving clients since 2006. Here is what that experience has taught us.
Most sole traders overpay tax
Not because they are doing anything wrong. Because nobody has taken the time to go through every expense they are entitled to claim. We do that for every client, every year.
Most are confused about deadlines
We make sure every client knows their dates, what to expect, and what happens if something goes wrong. No nasty surprises from HMRC.
Most want to reach a real person quickly
We reply within one working day. On WhatsApp, by phone, or by email. Every time. No exceptions.
