James Smith
James Smith, Chartered Accountant, is a small accounting practice for individuals and small businesses. Established in 2003 and based near Wantage in Oxfordshire, we focus on the smaller client including landlords, contractors, and service sector businesses, offering good quality advice for a reasonable fee. 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. 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. 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. 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.
