Hi, I'm Paul 👋 — a UK Qualified accountant, on Upwork since 2017, with a 100% Job Success score and 18 five-star written reviews. I've recently returned to the open market after a long-term engagement, so I have capacity to start straight away.
→ I trained at PwC and Baker Tilly, and I've prepared accounts for listed companies with billion-dollar balance sheets.
→ I've saved clients over £200,000 in tax, had HMRC penalties suspended, and won VAT surcharge appeals.
→ I rebuilt five years of a company's books after their data was deleted — every ledger, VAT return and journal reconstructed.
→ I've filed over 1,000 tax returns and run over 1,000 payrolls, at one point managing 200+ tax clients a year.
Today I run my own accounting practice for small UK businesses — freelancers, contractors, limited companies and online sellers. I know how much time the numbers eat out of a small business, because I've spent years inside that work myself. That's what led me to build my own systems — I'm a registered developer with both Xero and HMRC — so my clients' books stay accurate and current. Every deliverable is prepared and reviewed by me personally.
💼 What I do
✅ Year-end accounts & corporation tax (CT600) — from first-year startups to multi-entity groups
✅ Personal tax / Self Assessment — including landlords, CGT, and non-resident / residence (SRT) cases
✅ VAT — registrations, quarterly returns, MTD, and multi-year backlog rescues negotiated with HMRC
✅ Payroll & pensions — PAYE, RTI, auto-enrolment; I previously ran a payroll bureau
✅ Xero & QuickBooks — setup, cleanup, migration; QuickBooks ProAdvisor, with my own Xero practice
✅ Management accounts & CFO support — monthly reporting, forecasts, investor reporting
✅ Companies House Registered ACSP — verify company directors and PSCs including overseas directors
A few of the jobs behind the reviews: a US company selling on Amazon UK — four years of VAT reconstructed and HMRC penalties suspended; a fintech startup taken from incorporation through to investor reporting; a two-million-subscriber YouTube business with a full year of books rebuilt and fully reconciled to accounts and tax filings.
⭐ What clients say
"Paul is the real deal, a UK accountant registered as an agent with the HMRC." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"He knows his stuff, and his professionalism is amazing." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Outstanding responsive Freelancer. Client centric in every way works late too!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Very good at listening and able to work very quickly and go the extra mile." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
✅ Why clients choose me
▪ One person, end to end — you always talk to the person actually doing the work
▪ Registered HMRC agent — I deal with HMRC for you
▪ Plain-English answers, usually the same day
▪ I'm committed to the outcome — I keep working until you've got what you came for
If you'd like, I'm glad to jump on a call and show you real examples of how I've handled work like yours — examples and promises kept.
