At Fred Michael & Co Ltd, we help businesses build stronger financial foundations through professional accounting, bookkeeping, tax, payroll, and business advisory services. We work with startups, sole traders, limited companies, SMEs, contractors, landlords, and established businesses across the UK, delivering practical financial solutions that support growth, improve cash flow, and keep businesses fully compliant with HMRC requirements. Our approach is simple—we provide clear financial guidance, accurate reporting, and personalised support so you can focus on running and growing your business.
We provide comprehensive bookkeeping and accounting services to keep your financial records accurate, organised, and up to date. Our team manages day-to-day bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, VAT returns, management accounts, annual accounts preparation, statutory accounts, corporation tax support, financial reporting, cloud accounting, and year-end accounts. Whether you need ongoing accounting support or a complete outsourced accounting solution, we tailor our services to suit the needs of your business while helping you make informed financial decisions.
Our payroll services are designed to simplify payroll administration and ensure your employees are paid accurately and on time. We manage payroll processing, PAYE, pension auto-enrolment, statutory payments, payroll reporting, HMRC submissions, and compliance with the latest payroll legislation. By outsourcing payroll to us, you reduce administration, minimise errors, and gain confidence that your payroll responsibilities are handled professionally.
We also provide expert tax services for businesses and individuals. Our experienced accountants prepare self-assessment tax returns, corporation tax returns, VAT returns, and offer strategic tax planning to help reduce tax liabilities while remaining fully compliant with UK tax regulations. We keep up with changing tax legislation so you don't have to, ensuring every opportunity for legitimate tax efficiency is considered.
Our Business Planning and Financial Advice service helps business owners make smarter financial decisions with confidence. We work closely with you to develop realistic business plans, financial forecasts, budgets, cash flow forecasts, profit improvement strategies, and growth plans that support long-term success. Whether you're launching a new business, expanding operations, seeking finance, or planning for the future, we provide practical advice backed by accurate financial data.
Maintaining healthy cash flow is essential for every business, which is why we offer professional Credit Control Services. We help improve cash flow by monitoring outstanding invoices, managing debtor accounts, following up overdue payments, reducing late payments, improving credit management processes, and providing outsourced credit control services that strengthen customer payment performance while reducing bad debt.
For businesses that need strategic financial leadership without the cost of employing a full-time finance executive, our Virtual Finance Director service provides experienced financial expertise whenever you need it. We support budgeting, forecasting, board reporting, financial analysis, KPI monitoring, funding preparation, business strategy, performance reviews, and long-term financial planning to help your business make confident financial decisions.
We proudly support businesses across a wide range of industries, including construction, logistics and transport, healthcare, pharmacies, GP practices, veterinary practices, hospitality, retail, e-commerce, recruitment, consultants, contractors, professional services, and many other growing businesses. Our industry knowledge enables us to provide accounting solutions that reflect the unique financial challenges of each sector.
To improve efficiency and provide real-time financial visibility, we work with leading cloud accounting software including Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and Dext.
