About Us

A Local Accountancy Firm That Knows South Gloucestershire

We’re TAKS Limited — an accountancy practice based at Aztec West Business Park in Almondsbury, just off the A38, not far from South Gloucestershire. We work with local businesses and residents every day, and we’d like to do the same for you.

Running a business in South Gloucestershire, whether you’re a sole trader on the Willow Brook trading estate, a limited company in one of the business parks, or a landlord with a couple of rental properties, comes with a fair amount of financial admin. Tax returns that need filing, books that need keeping, payroll that needs running — it all takes time you probably don’t have.

That’s where we come in. At TAKS Limited we handle all of it, so you can concentrate on the things that actually matter to your business. We’re not a faceless online service — you’ll deal with real people who understand the local area, know the pressures of running a small business in South Gloucestershire, and speak to you in plain English rather than accountancy jargon.

“We simplify the complex — from intricate business tax challenges to personal tax queries, we’ve got you covered with clear, step-by-step guidance and transparent pricing. No hidden costs, no nasty surprises.”

We work with clients across a wide range of sectors — from tradespeople and IT contractors to property investors and professional services firms. If you’re based in South Gloucestershire, Stoke Gifford, Patchway, Filton, Little Stoke or anywhere else in north Bristol, we’re your local accountant.

What We Do

Accountancy Services in South Gloucestershire

Whether you need someone to manage your day-to-day books or you’re facing a complicated tax situation, we offer the full range of accounting and tax services for individuals and businesses in the South Gloucestershire area.

All Services

Bookkeeping Service in South Gloucestershire

Accurate, up-to-date books are the foundation of a healthy business. We manage your day-to-day financial records — sales, purchases, bank reconciliation — so you always know where you stand. We work with all major accounting software including Xero and QuickBooks, and can handle everything from monthly to quarterly to annual bookkeeping depending on your needs.

Tax Preparation in South Gloucestershire

Getting your taxes right matters — not just to avoid penalties, but to make sure you’re not overpaying. Our tax preparation service covers income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax and VAT. We review your position thoroughly, identify every allowance and relief you’re entitled to, and file everything accurately and on time. South Gloucestershire businesses and residents can stop worrying about HMRC deadlines entirely.

Tax Return Service South Gloucestershire

If you need to submit a self assessment tax return — whether you’re self-employed, a company director, a landlord, or you’ve had any other untaxed income — we’ll take the stress off your hands completely. We gather your information, calculate your tax liability, claim all available reliefs, and submit your return to HMRC before the deadline. We deal with HMRC directly on your behalf if any questions arise.

Payroll Services in South Gloucestershire

Running payroll correctly is one of those things that sounds simple until it isn’t. PAYE calculations, National Insurance contributions, Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC, auto-enrolment pension duties, statutory sick pay, maternity pay — there’s a lot to manage. We run fully managed payroll for businesses across South Gloucestershire and north Bristol, handling everything from weekly wages to monthly salaries, and producing payslips and year-end P60s for all your employees.

Limited Company Accounting — South Gloucestershire

Setting up a limited company in South Gloucestershire or already running one? We handle the full accounting package — from company incorporation with Companies House through to annual accounts, corporation tax returns, confirmation statements and director’s tax returns. We’ll also advise on the most tax-efficient way to extract profit from your company, whether through salary, dividends, or a combination of both.

Capital Gains & Property Tax — South Gloucestershire

Sold a property, shares, or other assets? Capital gains tax catches many people out, especially with HMRC’s 60-day reporting window for UK residential property sales. We calculate your gain, apply the correct reliefs (including Private Residence Relief where applicable), and ensure you report and pay correctly and on time. We also help landlords in the South Gloucestershire area structure their property portfolios as tax-efficiently as possible.

Working With Us Is Straightforward

We’ve tried to make becoming a client as simple as possible. Most people are up and running within a few days of their first call.

1 Get in touch — no forms, no faff

Call us on 01172565052 or drop an email to info@taks.org.uk. Tell us a bit about yourself or your business and what you need help with. There’s no obligation and no fee for the initial chat.

2 We send you a clear, fixed-fee quote

Within 24 hours we’ll confirm exactly what we can do and what it will cost. No hourly rates that spiral, no hidden extras — just a straightforward price for the work you need done.

3 We take it from there

Once you’re happy, we set up your accounts, register with HMRC as your agent (meaning they deal with us, not you), and get on with the work. You’ll hear from us when there’s something that needs your attention — not constantly, but when it matters.

4 Ongoing support, all year round

Tax isn’t just a January thing. We’re available throughout the year to answer questions, advise on decisions, and make sure you’re always in the best possible position with HMRC. Think of us as your finance department, without the overhead.

Why TAKS Limited

Why South Gloucestershire Businesses Choose Us

There are plenty of accountants in Bristol. Here’s why our South Gloucestershire clients stick with us.

Genuinely local

Based at Aztec West — we know the roads, the business parks, and the local economy. We’re not a call centre.

No hidden fees

Flexible subscription plans or pay-as-you-go — you choose what works for your budget. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Plain English, always

We explain what’s happening with your finances in language you actually understand. No jargon, no condescension.

HMRC authorised agent

We deal with HMRC directly on your behalf under a 64-8 authorisation — so they call us, not you.

Fast turnaround

We respond to queries within 24 hours. Urgent filing deadlines are something we take seriously, not a source of extra charges.

All sizes welcome

From a one-person freelance operation to a growing SME with a team — we scale with you and tailor the service accordingly.

Bookkeeping Service — South Gloucestershire

What Good Bookkeeping Actually Looks Like

A lot of small business owners in South Gloucestershire come to us after years of doing their own books — usually in a spreadsheet that’s grown into something nobody really understands anymore. Sound familiar?

Good bookkeeping isn’t just about keeping records for HMRC’s benefit. Done properly, it gives you a real-time picture of how your business is performing: what’s coming in, what’s going out, where your margins are, and whether you’re heading for a cash flow problem before it becomes a crisis.

Our bookkeeping service for South Gloucestershire businesses covers:

Recording all income and expenditure accurately and on time
Monthly bank reconciliation so your books always match your statements
VAT preparation and quarterly submissions (Making Tax Digital compliant)
Management accounts and profit & loss reporting
Invoicing support and accounts receivable management where needed
Year-end accounts preparation, ready for your tax return
Integration with cloud accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent)

We offer monthly fixed-fee bookkeeping packages, so you know exactly what you’re paying each month and can budget accordingly.

Tax Returns & Tax Preparation — South Gloucestershire

Self Assessment Tax Returns — Sorted, Filed, Done

The self assessment deadline of 31st January catches people out every year. We’re not sure why HMRC chose the bleakest month of the year for it, but there we are. The good news is that if you come to us before December, we’ll have your return prepared and filed long before the rush — and we’ll have had time to properly review your position and make sure you’re not paying more tax than you need to.

Who needs to file a self assessment tax return? More people than you might think. You need one if you’re:

Self-employed or a sole trader with income over £1,000
A company director (even if you take no salary)
A landlord receiving rental income
Someone with income over £100,000
A partner in a business partnership
Someone who received Child Benefit and earned over the threshold
Anyone with significant investment income, capital gains, or foreign income

Our tax preparation service for South Gloucestershire residents makes sure your return is complete, accurate, and submitted on time — with every available relief claimed. We also deal with HMRC on your behalf if they have questions, so you never have to make that call yourself.

Getting your tax return done properly isn’t just about compliance — it’s about making sure you’re only paying what you genuinely owe, not a penny more.

Payroll Services — South Gloucestershire

Payroll Services That Run Like Clockwork

Payroll is one of those things your employees notice immediately when something goes wrong — and that’s not a conversation any employer wants to have. Our fully managed payroll service for South Gloucestershire businesses takes the whole thing off your plate.

Who needs to file a self assessment tax return? More people than you might think. You need one if you’re:

What’s included in our payroll service

Monthly or weekly payroll processing
PAYE and National Insurance calculations
Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC
Payslip production for all employees
Auto-enrolment pension processing
Statutory sick pay and maternity/paternity calculations
Statutory sick pay and maternity/paternity calculations
Year-end P60s for all staff
P11D benefits-in-kind reporting

Making Tax Digital for employers

HMRC’s Making Tax Digital initiative is changing the way businesses report and pay tax. Our payroll service is fully MTD-compliant, and we keep up with every legislative change so you don’t have to. Whether it’s a new National Living Wage rate, a change to student loan thresholds, or an update to pension contribution rules, we have it covered.

For South Gloucestershire businesses with between 1 and 50 employees, our managed payroll service is typically far more cost-effective than hiring someone in-house to do it — and considerably less stressful than trying to manage it yourself alongside everything else.
