Fixed fees — clear inclusions, no surprises HMRC communication handled properly — less stress, fewer mistakes A clear plan, fast — plain-English support when it matters
If you’ve received a letter from HMRC, it’s normal to feel stressed — even if you’ve done nothing wrong. Most “HMRC audits” are what HMRC call compliance checks (sometimes known as tax enquiries) where HMRC review your tax position to make sure the right tax is paid and the right reliefs/allowances are claimed.
The process can feel intimidating: requests for documents, deadlines, technical wording, and fear of penalties. That’s exactly where we step in. We organise the records, build the right evidence pack, and manage HMRC communication in a calm, structured way — so you don’t have to.
We go further, respond faster, and work harder for you. Join hundreds of UK businesses who trust us with their finances — and discover how controlled this can feel when it’s handled properly.

(Quick clarity)
HMRC can check many areas of tax and records. HMRC will normally write or phone to tell you what they want to check, and if you use an accountant they can contact your agent instead.
Common HMRC audit/compliance check types include:
Self Assessment checks (income, expenses, property income, dividends, CGT)
VAT checks / VAT record reviews (returns, reconciliations, supporting evidence)
PAYE / payroll checks (RTI, pay calculations, benefits where relevant)
CIS checks (contractors, deductions, returns, subcontractor records)
Corporation Tax checks (accounts, CT600, expenses, director matters)
General record-keeping checks (bank, invoices, receipts, bookkeeping routines)
(What’s Included)
Everything you need to stay calm, compliant, and protected — with a fixed fee and a dedicated accountant.
Initial review of the HMRC letter (plain-English summary of what’s happening)

(Normal, not “accusations”)
HMRC checks can happen for many reasons and it doesn’t automatically mean wrongdoing. HMRC use compliance checks to confirm tax is correct and the system is operating fairly.
Common triggers include:
Figures that look unusual compared to prior years
Large expense claims or changes in profit
Inconsistencies between returns and records
VAT returns that don’t reconcile cleanly to sales/bank/EPOS
PAYE/CIS reporting mismatches or missing evidence
Random selection (yes, it happens)
(Why calm organisation matters)
HMRC audits can end with “no change”, a correction, or additional tax due — depending on what’s found and the evidence provided. Penalties (when they apply) often depend on whether HMRC consider you took reasonable care, and the quality of disclosure if something needs correcting.
The best protection is tidy evidence, clear explanations, and professional communication — not panic.
(Quick Checklist)
Upload what you have — we’ll tell you if anything is missing.
The HMRC letter (and any reference numbers)
The deadline date HMRC gave you
Bank statements or bank feed access
Sales/income proof (invoices, EPOS reports, rental statements where relevant)
Expense evidence (receipts, supplier invoices, mileage logs if relevant)
Bookkeeping reports (if you use software)
Payroll/CIS records if applicable
VAT returns and VAT workings if applicable
Any previous accountant details (if the audit relates to past filings)
That’s it. We’ll turn it into a clean, structured response pack.
Communication isn’t just about sharing information, it's about making sure you're heard and understood.

Stop searching—start thriving.
Most people say “HMRC audit”, but HMRC usually call this a compliance check (sometimes known as a tax enquiry). It’s HMRC checking your tax position to confirm the right tax is paid and the right allowances/reliefs are claimed.
Not necessarily. HMRC can open checks for many reasons — unusual figures, inconsistencies, missing evidence, or sometimes random selection.
Don’t ignore it and don’t panic-send documents. Send the letter, confirm the deadline, and we’ll give you a clear plan and evidence checklist.
Yes. Once authorised, HMRC can contact your accountant/agent and we can handle communication and responses for you.
Often bank statements, invoices, receipts, bookkeeping reports, VAT workings, and payroll/CIS records — depending on what they’re checking. HMRC can request information/documents as part of a compliance check process.
It depends. You may owe additional tax and interest, and sometimes penalties. Penalty outcomes can depend on whether reasonable care was taken and disclosure quality.
In some cases HMRC carry out checks by phone, and you can ask them to write to you instead.
It varies by complexity and how organised the records are. A clean evidence pack and clear responses usually move faster than repeated back-and-forth.
Yes. A big part of audit support is quickly organising and reconciling records so HMRC can close the check.
It depends on the type of check (Self Assessment, VAT, PAYE, CIS, Corporation Tax) and how much work is needed. We confirm a fixed fee after a quick call.
