Stockport and its villages

We act for clients across the borough: Stockport itself plus Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall, Hazel Grove, Marple, Romiley, Reddish and Heald Green. The practice is based in Bolton on the other side of Greater Manchester, and because the service is built to run online, distance changes nothing except the traffic you avoid.

Other towns we cover in depth: Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham and Wigan.

Selling online is easy. Accounting for it is not.

Amazon settlements that net off fees before the money lands, Shopify payouts that bundle a fortnight of orders, marketplace VAT collected on some sales and not others, stock sitting in FBA warehouses. Ecommerce bookkeeping done casually falls apart at exactly the moment turnover takes off. Our ecommerce service and online seller service rebuild the numbers from the platform reports themselves, so margins are real, VAT is right, and the Amazon specific traps are handled before they bite.

Hobby today, business sooner than you think

Once selling stops being occasional, HMRC expects a return, and the trading allowance only stretches so far. If the parcels are going out weekly, it is time to put the records on a proper footing.

Directors and consultants

Stockport is full of one and two person companies run by people who consult, contract and advise. We look after the whole picture: company accounts and Corporation Tax, director payroll, dividend planning through the year, and the personal return that ties it together. Salary and dividends in the right mix, documented properly, with planning before year end rather than regret after it.

Higher earners and the charges nobody mentions

A lot of household incomes around Bramhall and Cheadle sit exactly where the tax system gets spiteful: the High Income Child Benefit Charge, the personal allowance taper above one hundred thousand pounds, and pension contributions that could fix both if they are made before 5 April. If you have PAYE income plus a company, rentals or investments, Self Assessment stops being a formality and starts being where money is saved or wasted.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with Amazon and Shopify sellers specifically?

Yes, both, plus eBay, Etsy, Vinted and TikTok Shop. We work from the platform settlement reports rather than the bank feed alone, which is the only way ecommerce numbers come out right.

When do I need to register for VAT as an online seller?

Once taxable turnover passes the registration threshold on a rolling twelve month basis, not a calendar year, which is the part that catches sellers out. We watch the number for you and register at the right moment, on the right scheme.

I sell as a side hustle alongside my job. Do I need to file?

If gross trading income passes the trading allowance you need a return, and the platforms now report seller data to HMRC directly, so waiting to be asked is a poor strategy. Filing properly is usually painless and often cheaper than people fear.

What should a director pay themselves?

There is no single right answer: it moves with allowances, NI thresholds and dividend rates each year. We set the mix at the start of the tax year and adjust it if your profits or the rules change.

Can we meet somewhere in Stockport?

By arrangement, yes, though most Stockport clients run everything online precisely because crossing Greater Manchester in person is nobody’s favourite hobby. Video calls cover almost everything a meeting would.
