Accountant in Brighton
Qualified accountants providing clear, connected financial support that helps individuals and businesses throughout East and West Sussex stay organised, understand their position, and prepare for every reporting responsibility.
Accountancy Services Built Around You
Brywel Associates provides bookkeeping, payroll, personal tax, VAT returns, accounting support, and Corporation Tax services across Brighton, Hove, Shoreham-by-Sea, and surrounding areas of East and West Sussex. Established in 2001, our accountancy firm supports individuals, landlords, sole traders, employers, and limited companies with practical advice and reliable financial administration.
You can use each service independently or combine it with other areas of support. Keeping connected work with one accountancy firm allows information to move efficiently between everyday records, payroll processing, tax calculations, VAT reporting, management information, and year-end accounts.
Our accountants work with Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, and IRIS Payroll. You can keep your current system or ask us to help create a more organised process for recording information and providing documents.
Professional Support That Fits the Way You Work
One Consistent Team
A familiar team provides continuity across your financial responsibilities. Our accountants understand the records already supplied, the services you use, and the deadlines relevant to your circumstances.
Flexible Accountancy Services
We can provide support weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, or at another agreed frequency. We establish the work involved during an initial consultation and provide a tailored quotation rather than applying the same package to every client.
Qualified Financial Knowledge
Our team includes professionals with AAT, IPA, and IFA qualifications. We stay current through ongoing professional development and explain financial information without unnecessary jargon.
Clients can work with us locally or remotely, with records supplied digitally, by post, or through an agreed collection arrangement.
What our clients say about us
Financial Services From Brywel Associates
Bookkeeping and Cash Flow Management
Bookkeeping creates the organised transaction records required for accounts, tax calculations, VAT returns, and business reporting. A Brywel bookkeeper can record income and expenditure, reconcile bank accounts, organise invoices and receipts, and monitor accounts payable and receivable.
Our accounting services include support with Sage, Xero, and QuickBooks. Current records also strengthen cash flow management by showing outstanding invoices, upcoming payments, and patterns in business income and expenditure.
- transaction recording and bank reconciliation
- accounts payable and receivable management
- Sage, Xero, and QuickBooks bookkeeping
Payroll and Salary Administration
Payroll requires accurate calculations, organised employee information, and regular reporting. Our salary administration and wage and tax management services use IRIS Payroll to process weekly or monthly employee pay.
Brywel Associates can manage salaries, variable hours, overtime, relevant deductions, statutory payments, starters, leavers, payslips, and year-end documents. We tailor our employee pay and payrun services to the size and structure of each workforce.
- weekly or monthly payroll and payrun processing
- PAYE, National Insurance, pension, and statutory payment calculations
- payslips, P45s, P60s, and year-end payroll administration
Personal Tax and Self Assessment
Personal tax support helps individuals report relevant income, expenses, gains, and reliefs through Self Assessment. Our self-assessment tax services are available to sole traders, landlords, partners, company directors, and people with other income that may need to be reported.
Our HMRC tax return services cover record review, tax filing, eligible expense and tax relief claims, return preparation, and submission. We explain the calculation and payment dates before completing the approved return.
- Self Assessment registration and tax return preparation
- eligible expense, allowance, and tax relief reviews
- tax filing and authorised HMRC correspondence
VAT Return Services and Compliance
VAT return services bring sales, purchases, adjustments, and supporting records into one report for each accounting period. Our accountants review transaction coding, calculate output and eligible input VAT, and prepare the return for client approval.
We support VAT compliance through organised digital records and compatible accounting software. Once approved, our team completes the VAT submission and confirms the resulting amount payable or reclaimable.
- sales, purchase, and VAT code checks
- VAT calculations and digital return preparation
- VAT submission and authorised HMRC liaison
Accounting Support and Financial Reporting
Our accounting support gives business owners across Brighton, Hove, Shoreham-by-Sea, and surrounding areas of East and West Sussex access to useful financial information throughout the year, not solely at year-end. Management accounts can show recent income, expenditure, margins, assets, liabilities, and working capital at an agreed reporting frequency.
Financial reporting can be shaped around a particular decision, business review, or request for current figures. Cash flow management and forecasting can also bring expected receipts, operating costs, payroll, supplier payments, and tax liabilities into one practical view.
- management accounts and performance comparisons
- financial reporting for owners and directors
- cash flow management, forecasting, and payment planning
Corporation Tax and Company Accounts
Limited companies require accurate business accounts, year-end accounts, Corporation Tax calculations, and Company Tax Returns. Brywel Associates coordinates these responsibilities around the company’s accounting period and separate payment and filing dates.
Our accountants prepare the relevant calculations, establish the applicable Corporation Tax rate, and consider eligible allowances or reliefs. Tax planning can provide an earlier indication of the expected liability and support informed decisions before the accounting period ends.
- business accounts and year-end accounts
- Corporation Tax computations and Company Tax Returns
- deadline scheduling, eligible reliefs, and tax planning
Additional Services for Greater Continuity
Brywel Associates also provides a Registered Office address service for eligible clients who prefer not to use their home address. Optional Fee Protection Cover can provide support with qualifying professional costs arising from an HMRC enquiry.
Our local and remote working arrangements give clients a consistent accountancy service as their requirements change. A sole trader may begin with bookkeeping and personal tax before adding payroll; a growing limited company may later require VAT returns, management accounts, financial reporting, and Corporation Tax support.
Put the Right Financial Support in Place
Brywel Associates helps clients across Brighton, Hove, Shoreham-by-Sea, and surrounding areas of East and West Sussex bring their records, reporting, payroll, and tax responsibilities into one coordinated arrangement. You can begin with the support you need now and adapt the arrangement as your personal circumstances or business develops.
