What Brentwood Businesses Say

Real feedback from clients across Brentwood, Shenfield and Hutton.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"As a joiner working on high-end homes across Brentwood and Shenfield, I was paying far too much tax. LOYALS restructured my accounts, sorted my CIS returns and saved me over ยฃ5,000 in the first year. Brilliant value for a proper chartered accountant."

Stuart M.

Joinery Contractor, Brentwood

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"I run a small restaurant in Brentwood town centre and LOYALS handles everything โ€” monthly bookkeeping, payroll for my seven staff, and the quarterly VAT return. They're always reachable and explain everything in plain English. Highly recommended."

Anita K.

Restaurant Owner, Brentwood

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"I was self-employed for years but LOYALS advised me to go limited. The saving in the first year covered their fees three times over. They handled Companies House, set up my PAYE, and explained everything step by step. Couldn't be happier."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Brentwood business owners and contractors.

Do I need a CIS accountant for renovation and extension work in Brentwood?+
If you're a subcontractor carrying out construction work in Brentwood โ€” whether loft conversions in Shenfield, extensions in Hutton or new builds around Pilgrims Hatch โ€” CIS rules almost certainly apply. Your contractor deducts tax at source and you're entitled to reclaim any overpayment via your self assessment. LOYALS handles all of this so you can focus on the work, not the paperwork.
How can a Brentwood tradesperson benefit from going limited?+
Brentwood has a high concentration of premium trades โ€” builders, joiners, landscape gardeners โ€” working on high-value residential projects. If your turnover exceeds ยฃ30,000 per year, incorporating as a limited company can save you thousands in tax by allowing you to draw a mix of salary and dividends. We'll show you the numbers clearly before you decide.
Can LOYALS handle the VAT domestic reverse charge for my construction business in Brentwood?+
Yes. The domestic reverse charge affects most CIS-registered subcontractors across Brentwood and Essex. Under these rules, the customer (main contractor) accounts for VAT rather than you โ€” and it changes how you complete your VAT return. We manage this for all our construction clients to ensure full HMRC compliance and no unexpected VAT bills.
What accounting services do you offer to Brentwood restaurants and hospitality businesses?+
Brentwood town centre has a thriving restaurant and hospitality scene. We help local food and drink businesses with bookkeeping, payroll for front-of-house and kitchen staff, quarterly VAT returns, self assessment for owner-operators and year-end accounts. We also offer business growth advice to help you scale profitably.
How much does LOYALS cost for a sole trader in Brentwood?+
Our packages start from ยฃ149 per month for sole traders, which includes bookkeeping, self assessment and ongoing support. We also offer one-off self assessment filing for those who only need us at year end. All pricing is flat-fee and agreed upfront โ€” no hourly billing and no surprises.
Is LOYALS accessible for Brentwood clients outside of office hours?+
Absolutely. We work 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm, which means you can speak to us on a Saturday morning before heading to a Shenfield job, or contact us on Sunday evening when you're catching up on admin. WhatsApp, phone, and email โ€” however you prefer to communicate.
Can you help me with financial records for grant applications for my Brentwood business?+
We can certainly advise on any financial planning around business grants and funding. While we don't administer grants directly, we can help you prepare the financial records and projections that grant applications often require, and ensure your books are in order to satisfy any audit requirements that come with grant funding.
Do I need to register for VAT if I'm a Brentwood contractor earning over the threshold?+
Yes. If your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold (currently ยฃ90,000), you must register for VAT. For construction contractors in Brentwood this is a common milestone, and the VAT domestic reverse charge adds an extra layer of complexity. We handle VAT registration, returns, and the reverse charge as part of our standard packages.
