Looking for a small accounting firm in Oxfordshire?

James Smith, Chartered Accountant, is a small accounting practice for individuals and small businesses.

Our pithy review for the Autumn Budget 2024 is now available

Focused accountancy advice

We focus on our key areas of expertise: individuals, property tax, contractors, and small limited companies.  By restricting what we do, we have developed a deeper knowledge of both taxation and business issues in these areas.

By focusing on a few core areas we enhance the quality of tax and business we can provide to those chosen sectors, rather than trying to cover any type of business or tax situation.

The right size

As a two person business we believe this is the best size to provide focused, personalised accounting services to our core clients.  When we are full, we simply stop taking on new work rather than growing and diluting our services.

Building up a strong personal relationship gives the basis from which to give the best advice. Continuity from year to year is a key part of our success.

Competitive accounting fees

By keeping things small and focused we can run an efficient practice, which translates to competitive fees for you.  We publish our standard fixed fees for tax returns in a clear and transparent manner.

Concerns over fees can often be a distraction to giving good service to clients. We keep it very simple, offering fixed or capped fees for the majority of our work, including advice.

Are we the right accountants for you?

If you are a small service sector business, a landlord, a contractor or just an individual with a self-assessment tax return to do, then do take a look around the site.  There is more about working with us,  who we are, and our fees.

In particular we will be a good choice if you are:

• Looking for a personal approach to your affairs
• Lost in a large firm
• Getting poor or indifferent service
• Paying inflated fees
• Struggling to deal with HMRC yourself

Do get in contact to see if we can help you.

We deal with clients both in Oxfordshire and nationally.  If you like to use a local chartered accountant for your tax returns, we are based in West Hanney, a village south-west of Oxford,  between Wantage, Didcot, Faringdon and Abingdon.
