Accountants in Guildford

ACCOUNTANTS IN GUILDFORD

TaxDigit is based at Parallel House, 32 London Road, a few minutes from Guildford station and the town centre. We act for owner-managed companies, sole traders, landlords, contractors and private clients across Guildford 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 Guildford, 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.

Deadlines that matter to a Guildford business in 2026/27

Two changes are already biting and a third is close behind. Getting ahead of them is cheaper than catching up.

Who we help

• Owner-managed limited companies in and around Guildford, 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.

Local knowledge that actually matters

Guildford has an unusually high concentration of small professional practices, technology businesses around the Surrey Research Park, construction and trade businesses serving a high-value housing stock, and landlords letting to students and University of Surrey staff. Each of those brings its own tax questions — CIS for the trades, R&D and share schemes for technology firms, and the Making Tax Digital thresholds for landlords. We see the same patterns repeatedly, which means we are rarely working something out from first principles at your expense.

Frequently asked questions

Where are your offices in Guildford?

We are at Parallel House, 32 London Road, Guildford GU1 2AB, a short walk from Guildford station. 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 Guildford 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 Guildford?

No. We are based in Guildford and act for a great many local 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.
