The Challenge
Like a lot of sole traders in the trades, this business owner was flat out doing what they do best. But behind the scenes, everything had quietly fallen apart.
Their previous accountant had gone completely missing for around six months. In that time nothing had been submitted — no self-assessment, no bookkeeping, no VAT returns, no payroll. It had all built up into an overwhelming backlog, and HMRC penalties were starting to land.
The pressure was really building. They reached out asking for help — and several of our existing clients recommended SJW.
Our Approach
We got straight to work. Within less than a fortnight we had everything brought up to date — self- assessment, bookkeeping, VAT, payroll — organised, submitted and back under control. We then took over the ongoing finance function so it could never happen again.
The Results.
Six months of backlog cleared in under two weeks
Self-assessment, VAT and payroll all brought up to date
HMRC penalties addressed and compliance restored
Ongoing support in place so the owner can focus on the business
