HMRC Deadlines
We help clients keep track of Self Assessment, VAT, PAYE and Corporation Tax filing dates. Missing deadlines can lead to penalties, so we build reminders and clear next steps into the work.
Tax Resources
Practical tax and accounting guidance for business owners, directors and individuals.
FMX Knowledge Centre
Use these guide areas to understand the main accounting, tax and compliance topics that affect UK businesses and taxpayers.
Allowable Expenses
Understanding which costs are allowable can reduce tax risk and improve record keeping. We guide clients on business expenses, director costs, mileage, home working and supporting documents.
Making Tax Digital
Digital record keeping is now an important part of UK tax compliance. FMX can help you organise bookkeeping software, VAT records and the information needed for accurate submissions.
VAT Registration
We can review whether your business needs to register for VAT, explain the responsibilities and help you choose the right VAT approach for your circumstances.
Payroll and PAYE
Employers must calculate pay, deductions and reports correctly. We support monthly payroll, payslips, RTI submissions and director payroll planning.
Company Tax
Limited companies need accurate year-end accounts and Corporation Tax calculations. We help directors understand what is due, when it is due and what records are needed.
Bookkeeping Systems
Good bookkeeping gives business owners cleaner reports, easier VAT preparation and better visibility over cash flow, customer balances and supplier costs.
Director Responsibilities
Directors need to understand accounts, Corporation Tax, dividends, payroll, company records and Companies House filings. FMX can explain the practical responsibilities clearly.
Business Consultancy
Finance information is more useful when it supports operations. FMX also helps with cost control, quality systems, customer operations and management information.
PAYE and VAT Calculators
Use quick HMRC-rate tools to estimate salary deductions, employer National Insurance and VAT-inclusive or VAT-exclusive amounts before asking FMX to review the real figures.
FCA Authorisation Support
FMX can support financial readiness, business plans, forecasts and management information for firms exploring FCA authorisation in collaboration with Alumni Compliance.
Common Client Questions
These are the kinds of questions clients often ask before they appoint an accountant or improve their records.
Should I trade as a sole trader or limited company?
The right structure depends on tax, risk, admin, income level, business plans and personal circumstances. We can explain the differences and responsibilities.
Ask FMXWhen do I need to register for VAT?
VAT registration can be compulsory or voluntary depending on turnover and business plans. We can review your position before it becomes urgent.

Good records include invoices, receipts, bank activity, payroll data, mileage, stock, contracts and notes that explain unusual transactions.

Preparing early gives more time to resolve missing records, review director balances, understand tax, plan cash flow and file confidently.
