    Working with finance and professional service firms in the Square Mile

    The City of London is dense with regulated finance, professional services, legal practices, consultancies and contractor limited companies. We work with clients across EC1 (Barbican, Farringdon, Clerkenwell), EC2 (Moorgate, Liverpool Street, Bishopsgate), EC3 (Aldgate, Fenchurch Street, Tower Hill) and EC4 (St Paul's, Blackfriars, Cannon Street) on year-end accounts, corporation tax, director self assessment, VAT and monthly payroll, and we're familiar with the specific mix of PAYE bonus income, deferred RSUs, dividend income and rental income that City directors and finance professionals typically report.

    Contractors and consultants operating in the City

    Many of our City clients contract through their own limited companies into investment banks, insurers, law firms and management consultancies. We handle the Ltd company accounts, corporation tax and payroll, run salary/dividend planning around each tax year, and give an honest written view on IR35 status where the contract sits inside or outside. Where clients switch between PAYE roles and contracting mid-year, we manage the transition cleanly with HMRC so there are no surprises at self assessment time.

    Why choose VMK as your City of London accountant

    You get qualified, direct advice, not a portal you shout into or a junior clerk you never meet. Fees are fixed and agreed up front, deadlines are managed for you, and the whole engagement runs through Xero, our secure portal and Zoom. It's built for busy City professionals who don't want their accountant to be another admin task on their to-do list.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are you City of London accountants?+

    Yes. We support clients across EC1, EC2, EC3 and EC4, from Bank and Moorgate to Aldgate, St Paul's and Farringdon, with fully remote onboarding and cloud accounting throughout.

    Do I need a physical accountant in the City?+

    No. Most of our City clients work with us fully remotely via Xero, our client portal and Zoom. Being physically local matters less than having an accountant who responds within hours and understands your work.

    How much do City of London accountants charge?+

    Contractor Ltd companies typically £125–£175/month all-in (accounts, CT600, director payroll, self assessment). Larger SMEs and firms with VAT and full payroll are quoted per requirement, always fixed and in writing.

    Do you handle IR35 for City contractors?+

    Yes. We review contracts and working practices, provide a written status view, and structure director remuneration to be tax-efficient whether the engagement is inside or outside IR35. We also handle CIS-style deemed-employment reporting where required.

    Can you report bonus, RSU and vested share income?+

    Yes. We include PAYE bonus income, restricted stock units, ESPP shares and deferred cash bonuses in your self assessment, and cross-check the P60/P11D against your payslips to make sure nothing is double-counted.

    Can you help with foreign or remittance-basis income?+

    Yes. We handle non-UK employment income, foreign rental income, dividends from overseas and the remittance basis for non-domiciled taxpayers, including the annual remittance basis charge where it applies.

    How do you handle director self assessment?+

    We prepare and file SA100 including employment pages, dividends, savings and investment income, self-employment or partnership pages, property income (SA105), capital gains (SA108) and foreign pages (SA106) as needed.

    Can you help with an HMRC enquiry or nudge letter?+

    Yes. We handle correspondence with HMRC directly under our agent authorisation, respond to nudge letters and Worldwide Disclosure Facility approaches, and represent you through full compliance checks or enquiries.

    How quickly can I switch to VMK?+

    Most switches complete in five working days. We handle professional clearance with your current accountant, Xero data transfer and HMRC agent re-authorisation, free of charge.
