ACCOUNTANTS IN ESHER
A Surrey practice, not a call centre — you deal with the same qualified accountant every time.TaxDigit is based at Parallel House, 32 London Road in Guildford, a short drive from Esher. We act for owner-managed companies, sole traders, landlords, contractors and private clients across Esher and the surrounding Surrey towns, and we combine that local presence with cloud accounting so you are never waiting on a postal exchange of paperwork.
We are chartered certified accountants and international tax advisers. That second half matters more than it sounds in a town like Esher, where a great many businesses have an overseas parent, an overseas director or a founder who has recently arrived in the UK. It means the same team that files your accounts can also handle the residence, double-tax and cross-border questions that usually get referred out.
What we do for Esher businesses
Everything a limited company or self-employed person in Surrey needs, under one roof and on one fixed fee agreed before we start.
- Year-end accounts and corporation tax — statutory accounts filed at Companies House and the CT600 filed with HMRC, with the marginal relief band between £50,000 and £250,000 modelled properly rather than guessed.
- Self Assessment — from registration through to submission, including property, dividends, capital gains and foreign income.
- VAT and Making Tax Digital — registration, scheme selection and quarterly filing through compatible software.
- Payroll and CIS — RTI submissions, auto-enrolment, and monthly CIS returns for the construction trades that make up a large share of Surrey small business.


Why Esher businesses choose TaxDigit
We are small enough that you get a named accountant and large enough to handle the technical work in house.
- Fixed fees agreed in writing before any work begins, so you are not comparing quotes that quietly leave things out.
- Cloud bookkeeping on Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent, with records exchanged securely rather than in carrier bags.
- A named chartered certified accountant who knows your business, not whoever answers the phone that day.
- Rated 5.0 from 46 reviews on our Google Business Profile — every one of them public and unedited.
Deadlines that matter to a Esher business in 2026/27
Two changes are already biting and a third is close behind. Getting ahead of them is cheaper than catching up.
Making Tax Digital
Live since 6 April 2026 for sole traders and landlords whose qualifying income for the 2024-25 tax year was over £50,000 — partnerships, trusts and several other groups are exempt or deferred. Quarterly updates fall due on 7 August, 7 November, 7 February and 7 May. The threshold drops to £30,000 from 6 April 2027 (tested on 2025-26 income) and £20,000 from 6 April 2028 (tested on 2026-27 income).
Dividend rates
The ordinary and upper dividend rates rose by two percentage points on 6 April 2026, to 10.75% and 35.75%. If you take a salary-and-dividend mix, the optimal split has moved.
Companies House ID
Identity verification has been mandatory since 18 November 2025. Directors already in post must supply a personal code with their next confirmation statement, and that transition closes in mid-November 2026.
Who we help
- Owner-managed limited companies in and around Esher, from first year through to sale.
- Sole traders and partnerships, including the trades, consultants and creative freelancers.
- Landlords and property investors across Surrey, including those now inside Making Tax Digital.
- Contractors and subcontractors working under CIS.
- Private clients with dividends, capital gains, foreign income or a Self Assessment return that has become complicated.
- UK subsidiaries of overseas parents, and founders who have recently moved to the UK.
Switching to us is simpler than most people expect
Changing accountant does not require an awkward conversation with your current one. You appoint us, we write for professional clearance and the handover information, and we register as your agent with HMRC. In most cases you do nothing beyond signing two forms. The best time to move is shortly after a year end, but we take on clients at any point in the cycle, including mid-year and in the run-up to a deadline.
Week one
You appoint us, we contact your current accountant for clearance and records, and we register as your agent with HMRC and Companies House.
Week two
We review the last set of accounts and the current bookkeeping, and tell you plainly if anything needs correcting before it becomes a problem.
Ongoing
Fixed monthly fee, a named accountant, and deadlines tracked for you rather than remembered by you.
Local knowledge that actually matters
Esher and the wider Elmbridge area are largely owner-managed consultancies, independent professional practices, and private clients with property and investment income, alongside trade businesses serving a high-value housing stock. Each of those brings its own tax questions — CIS for the trades, residence and double-tax questions for internationally mobile clients, and the Making Tax Digital thresholds for landlords.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Esher?
We are at Parallel House, 32 London Road, Guildford GU1 2AB, a short drive from Esher. Most work is handled online, and we arrange face-to-face meetings when they genuinely help rather than as a matter of routine.
How much do accountants in Esher charge?
It depends on the work — a single Self Assessment return is not the same job as a VAT-registered limited company running payroll. We set the fee out in writing before any work begins, so there are no surprises later.
Do you only work with businesses in Esher?
No. Our office is in Esher and we act for a great many Esher and Surrey clients, but we work with businesses and individuals across the UK and with overseas owners of UK companies.
Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes, and it is straightforward. We write to them for handover information, deal with the professional clearance ourselves, and register as your agent with HMRC. You do not need to have an awkward conversation.
Which accounting software do you use?
Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent are the ones we use most. If you already have a system that works, we will normally work with it rather than move you for the sake of it.
