Tax handled before it's due.

Accountants and tax advisers for UK businesses, landlords and the self-employed. We flag deadlines before they arrive, find reliefs you didn't know existed, and explain every decision in plain English — never jargon.

Institute of Financial Accountants members Serving clients since 2021 Romford & London

Sole traders

Self assessment, expenses done properly, and payments on account you can actually plan for.

Limited companies

Corporation tax, CT600, payroll and dividends — structured so nothing is paid twice.

Landlords

Rental income, allowable costs, capital gains on disposal — and what changes when rules do.

Gig economy

Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat and courier income — returns filed right, mileage claimed fully.

Five tax services.
Managed to reduce what you owe.

Each one handled by a qualified accountant, planned in advance, and filed on time — with every decision explained in language that makes sense.

Ask which apply to you

Payroll that runs itself

Salary processing, pension auto-enrolment, HMRC submissions and Pensions Regulator compliance as an ongoing service. Every team member paid accurately. Every deadline met. Nothing for you to chase.

Company setup, done right first time

Formation, the right structure, director ID verification and initial HMRC registrations — so the business launches on a foundation that never needs correcting later.

Most accountancy firms process returns.
AT Crew advises before the return is due.

We identify reliefs you did not know existed, flag deadlines before they arrive, and explain every decision in language that makes sense. Advice shaped by your circumstances — your structure, your obligations, your goals — never by a template.

A named contact

One accountant who knows your business answers your questions — in plain English, not jargon.

Deadlines tracked for you

Self assessment, VAT quarters, corporation tax, payroll — mapped and chased by us, not by you.

Advice before you act

When something changes — a sale, a hire, a new property — we advise before you commit, not after.

From first call to filed — in four steps.

No forms sent into a void. No surprise fees. You'll know what happens, when, and what it costs before we start.

Named contact who knows your business — always

Two ways to run a practice.
We chose the harder one.

Most accountancy firms

  • Process the return after the year has already happened
  • Send the bill with jargon you need translating
  • Route your questions through a ticket queue
  • Let deadlines land on you as surprises

AT Crew

  • Advises before the return is due — when the outcome can still change
  • Explains every decision in plain English, never jargon
  • Gives you one named accountant who already has the context
  • Flags every deadline weeks early — chased by us, not by you

Five years of measured growth,
built on client retention.

Since 2021, AT Crew has expanded from core tax services into a full-service accountancy practice. We are members of the Institute of Financial Accountants and operate from Farringdon, London.

2021

Foundation

Opened as a focused tax practice serving sole traders and landlords.

2022

Payroll & VAT

Added as clients hired their first teams and crossed the VAT threshold.

2024

Company formation

Formation, SPV setup and director ID verification joined the service list.

2026

Full service

A complete practice — still small enough that you know your accountant by name.

What we promise every client

Advice before you act

A sale, a hire, a new property — we advise before you commit, when the tax outcome can still be changed.

Plain English, always

If you leave a call more confused than you arrived, we have failed at our job.

A named contact

One accountant who knows your business — not a ticket queue with your name on it.

Deadlines tracked for you

Every filing date mapped and flagged weeks early — advice shaped by your circumstances, never a template.

Qualified, regulated, accountable.

AT Crew is a member of the Institute of Financial Accountants and operates under its professional standards, with a published complaints procedure and independent escalation through the IFA. Your affairs are handled by qualified accountants — and if we ever fall short, there is a real process behind the promise.

Measured in outcomes.

The work we do is measured in outcomes: tax liabilities reduced, filing deadlines met, payroll processed without error, and businesses that spend less time on financial administration and more time on the work that generates revenue.

The four outcomes we chase

Liability, reduced

Every legal relief found and applied before filing — not spotted afterwards, when it is too late to use.

Deadlines, met

Filed on time, every time — because every date was flagged weeks before it arrived.

Payroll, error-free

Every team member paid accurately, every submission on time, nothing for the owner to chase.

Time, returned

Less of your week spent on financial admin, more on the work that generates revenue.

What every case study covers

When we publish a case study, it follows one honest format — no vague success stories, no invented numbers.

01

The situation

Where the client stood when they came to us — structure, obligations, and what was keeping them up at night.

02

The challenge

The specific problem they needed help with — not a generic label, the actual knot.

03

The work

What we actually did, step by step, in plain English.

04

The result

The measurable outcome it produced — with client names protected unless they give explicit permission.

Questions about these terms?

Every engagement also comes with its own letter of engagement, agreed before work begins. If anything here is unclear, ask — info@atcrew.co.uk.

Questions, answered plainly.

The things people most often ask before working with us. If yours isn't here, ask us directly — a straight answer costs nothing.

What is the difference between self assessment and corporation tax?

Self assessment is for individuals — sole traders, freelancers, landlords, and anyone with untaxed income. Corporation tax is for limited companies and is filed via a CT600 return. Many of our clients need both: a personal return for themselves and a CT600 for their company.

What services does AT Crew provide?

Payroll processing, self assessment returns, corporation tax planning, VAT filing, capital gains tax reporting, inheritance tax planning, company formation, SPV setup, and Companies House ID verification — each managed by a qualified accountant.

Does AT Crew handle VAT returns?

Yes. AT Crew manages VAT registration, quarterly calculations, and filing in full compliance with Making Tax Digital requirements — and advises on which VAT scheme actually suits your margins.

Can AT Crew help with company formation?

Yes. AT Crew handles company formation and registration with Companies House, including entity type selection, legal structuring, director ID verification, and initial tax and payroll registrations — so the business launches on a foundation that never needs correcting later.

How do your fees work?

Fees are agreed before work begins, so you have a fixed picture of the cost up front — no surprise invoices. The first consultation is free and carries no obligation.

I already have an accountant. Is switching complicated?

No — it is mostly handled between the accountants. With your permission we write to your current accountant for professional clearance and your records, and we tell you if there is anything you need to do. Most switches involve one email from you.

Which deadlines should I actually worry about?

The big ones: 31 January (online self assessment and balancing payment), 31 October (paper returns), 5 April (tax year end), VAT one month and seven days after each quarter, and corporation tax nine months and one day after your company year end. See the full picture on our tax year at a glance — and as a client, you will hear from us weeks before each one applies to you.

Where is AT Crew based?

Our office is at Office One, 1 Coldbath Square, Farringdon, London, EC1R 5HL, with a correspondence address at 9 Troopers Drive, Romford, RM3 9DE. We act for clients across the UK — most of our work happens by phone, email and secure document exchange.

Still have a question?

Ask it directly — we reply within one working day, in plain English.

Free first consultation. No obligation, no jargon.
