Common questions from Islington business owners.

How much do chartered accountants in Islington charge?+

We work with restaurants on Upper Street, contractors across Holloway, and creative businesses around Angel โ€” all at transparent, affordable rates.
Do you handle CIS tax for Islington contractors?+
Yes, CIS tax is one of our specialities. Islington has significant residential construction activity โ€” from period conversions in Barnsbury to new builds along Holloway Road. We file monthly CIS returns, verify subcontractor status, maximise deductions, and handle all HMRC correspondence on your behalf.
Can you help with restaurant and bar accounts in Islington?+
Absolutely. Islington is packed with restaurants and bars โ€” Upper Street alone has one of London's densest concentrations of dining venues. We help with VAT-optimised bookkeeping, tronc scheme management, seasonal payroll, alcohol duty compliance, and late-night licensing financial planning.
What areas within Islington do you cover?+
We serve businesses across all of Islington including Angel, Holloway, Highbury, Finsbury Park, Clerkenwell, Barnsbury, Canonbury, Upper Street, Essex Road, and Archway. Our office at King's Cross is literally on Islington's doorstep โ€” just minutes from Angel station.
Your office is in King's Cross โ€” is that close to Islington?+
We're practically neighbours. Our office at 39-41 North Road, King's Cross, N7 9DP is a 10-minute walk from Angel and right on the Islington border. Many of our Islington clients pop in for face-to-face meetings, though we handle everything digitally if that suits you better.
Do I need a specialist accountant for my Islington pub or bar?+
Having an accountant who understands hospitality makes a real difference.

Generic accountants often miss sector-specific deductions that can save you thousands a year.
