5 Ways Our Accountants Can Save Brighton Clients Time and Money
Managing a business or working as a sole trader comes with plenty of challenges, but handling your finances shouldn’t be one of them. Whether you’re struggling with spreadsheets and filing deadlines or burdened with tax questions, working with professional accountants in Brighton can take a huge weight off your shoulders.
At Brywel Associates, we offer a complete range of accountancy services, from bookkeeping and payroll to VAT returns and self-assessment tax returns, designed to help you stay compliant and make the most of your money. But beyond ticking boxes for HMRC, a good accountant can genuinely save you both time and cash.


1. Accurate Bookkeeping Means Better Decision-Making
Bookkeeping is the foundation of every healthy financial system. If you don’t know what’s coming in and going out, making informed decisions about your pricing, hiring or growth is impossible.
Brywel’s professional accountants ensure your financial records are updated, properly categorised, and ready for tax time. We use software like Xero, Sage and QuickBooks to manage income, expenses, and reconciliation, giving you a clear view of your finances in real time.
Well-maintained books also help you:
- Avoid duplicate payments or missed invoices
- Spot cost-saving opportunities
- Prepare for loans or investment
Working with us proves your commitment to your business. You can focus on its future development while trusting us to do the paperwork.
2. Outsourced Payroll Frees Up Your Time
Handling payroll in-house can be a serious drain on your resources, especially as your team grows. From calculating wages and deductions to filing Real Time Information (RTI) submissions with HMRC, the process involves far more than writing out payslips.
By outsourcing payrun services to your local accountants in Brighton, you can:
- Avoid errors and late submissions
- Reduce admin pressure
- Ensure legal compliance around PAYE, pensions and year-end reports
- Offer your staff a reliable, secure pay experience
Our dedicated system is powered by IRIS software and tailored to suit your weekly or monthly cycle. We also handle P60s and HMRC reporting so nothing slips through the cracks.


3. Tax Return Services That Help You Claim More
Submitting self-assessment tax returns isn’t just about avoiding fines (although we’ll help with that too!) It’s also about making sure you’re claiming every allowable expense and applying for relevant tax reliefs.
Brywel Associates will guide you through:
- What income to declare
- What costs you can deduct
- How to avoid common errors
- What records you need to keep
Many business owners and landlords miss out on savings simply because they’re unaware of what they can claim. Working with us will help you file confidently and maximise your return.
4. VAT Returns Without the Headache
If you’re VAT registered, filing regular VAT returns is one of your key responsibilities. But with changing rules and ever-tightening compliance checks, this isn’t something you want to get wrong.
We offer expert VAT return services for Brighton businesses of all sizes, handling every step, from data collection and analysis to digital VAT submission via Making Tax Digital-compliant software.
Our accountants also make sure your VAT returns are:
- Accurate and timely
- Reviewed for reclaim opportunities
- Fully aligned with HMRC standards
This keeps you in good standing and can improve your cash flow, which offers plenty of development potential within your business.


5. One Accountant, All Your Services
You benefit from consistency and joined-up thinking when you use a single firm to handle your bookkeeping, payroll, self-assessment tax returns, and VAT return services.
Instead of juggling multiple providers, you get one point of contact who understands your business inside and out. This saves time, improves communication, and ensures that no details are missed between services.
The benefits of working with Brywel Associates include:
- Streamlined communication
- Integrated software and systems
- One set of records across all services
- Consistent advice that evolves with your business
- Less admin, fewer surprises
