    Supporting SMEs across London Bridge and Southwark

    SE1 has a genuinely mixed business community, professional service firms around More London and the Shard, agencies and consultancies in the office space around Borough and Bermondsey Street, hospitality operators around Borough Market and Flat Iron Square, ecommerce and creative studios around Bankside, and property clients across the wider Southwark postcodes. We prepare year-end accounts and CT600 returns, run monthly payroll, file quarterly VAT under Making Tax Digital, and complete director and personal self assessments.

    Hospitality, ecommerce and agency clients in SE1

    For hospitality clients we handle daily takings postings, tips and tronc payroll (properly structured so tips don't attract employer NIC where the scheme qualifies), VAT on food and drink (standard vs zero-rated split), and staff auto-enrolment. For ecommerce brands we integrate Shopify, Stripe, Amazon and PayPal feeds into Xero for proper bookkeeping, gross-margin visibility and clean VAT, including OSS and IOSS where you sell into the EU. Agencies typically want monthly management accounts, project-based revenue reporting, deferred-revenue on retainers and clean year-end filings, which is where we spend most of our SE1 time.

    Why London Bridge and Southwark businesses choose VMK

    Fixed monthly fees agreed up front, a qualified chartered accountant you can actually reach on phone, email and WhatsApp, and a modern cloud accounting setup that keeps your numbers current, not stale at year-end. We manage HMRC deadlines for you, so you can focus on running the business.

    Do I need a local accountant in SE1?+

    No. Most of our SE1 clients work with us fully remotely, a physical office visit isn't required for onboarding, filings or HMRC matters.

    How much do London Bridge accountants cost?+

    Ltd companies from £125/month; hospitality with weekly payroll typically £200–£400/month; ecommerce with multi-channel bookkeeping £200–£500/month. All fees fixed and agreed in writing before we start.

    Can you handle tips and tronc for a Borough Market restaurant?+

    Yes. We set up a compliant tronc scheme, handle troncmaster reporting and run tips through payroll so, where the scheme is properly structured, tips don't attract employer NIC.

    Can you reconcile Shopify, Stripe and Amazon for my ecommerce brand?+

    Yes. All connect as bank feeds into Xero, with automated reconciliation of gateway fees, refunds, chargebacks and FX. VAT is calculated on the correct place-of-supply basis (UK, OSS, IOSS).

    Can you handle VAT on food and drink?+

    Yes. We handle the standard/zero-rated split on eat-in vs takeaway, hot vs cold food, alcohol, service charge and delivery, and pick the right VAT scheme (standard, flat-rate or retail) for your setup.

    Can you produce monthly management accounts for an agency?+

    Yes. Full P&L, balance sheet, WIP and project margin, deferred revenue on annual retainers, and cash flow, delivered by the 15th of each month via Xero or Fathom.

    Can you help with an HMRC VAT visit or enquiry?+

    Yes. We prepare records in advance, attend the visit under our agent authorisation, and handle any follow-up correspondence directly with HMRC on your behalf.

    How quickly can I switch from my current SE1 accountant?+

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