Accountants in Egham, Surrey

A local accountancy practice — not a call centre. Speak to a qualified accountant about your tax, your books and your business.

Your local accountant in Egham

PJFL Accountants is based in Egham. We look after sole traders, contractors, landlords and limited companies across Egham and the wider Runnymede area, handling everything from a first self assessment return to year-end accounts and payroll for a growing team.

Being local matters more than it sounds, even though the work itself happens by phone, email and video call. It means we know the area your business trades in, you get an answer the same day when something unexpected lands from HMRC, and you deal with a named accountant who knows your business rather than whoever picks up the phone.

What we do for Egham businesses

The full range of accountancy work, from a single tax return to running the finance function of an established company.

Tax Returns & Planning

Self assessment, corporation tax and planning that keeps the bill legitimately down.

Bookkeeping

Records kept straight through the year, so year end isn't a scramble.

Payroll

RTI submissions, payslips, pensions auto-enrolment and starters and leavers.

Year-End Accounts

Statutory accounts prepared and filed with Companies House and HMRC.

Business Advisory

Cashflow, pricing and structure — the decisions that actually move the numbers.

Making Tax Digital

Compatible software, quarterly updates and the final declaration handled.

Why Egham businesses choose PJFL

Built around Egham's business mix

Egham has an unusual concentration of contractors, consultants and small professional practices, alongside the businesses that serve Royal Holloway and the trading estates off the A30. We work with all of them, so the questions you have — IR35 status, dividends versus salary, whether it's time to incorporate — are ones we answer regularly rather than research from scratch.

Local knowledge, without the overheads

We work the way most clients now prefer: records sent across digitally, questions answered by phone, email or video, and no appointment to travel to. That keeps our costs down, and it shows up in the fee rather than in premises you would be paying for. What it doesn't cost you is the local part — we know the Runnymede business landscape and the people trading in it.

Landlords and property owners

The Egham, Englefield Green and Virginia Water rental market draws a lot of accidental and semi-professional landlords. We handle property income on self assessment, the finance-cost restriction, and the question of whether holding property personally or through a company actually works out better in your situation.

Ready for Making Tax Digital

MTD for VAT already applies, and MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment is arriving in phases for sole traders and landlords over set income thresholds. We'll tell you plainly whether and when it affects you, get compatible software in place, and handle the quarterly submissions so it becomes routine rather than a deadline you dread.

Areas we cover around Egham

We're based in Egham (TW20) and act for clients across Runnymede and the surrounding parts of Surrey:

How we work with you

Almost everything we do runs by phone, email and video call, with your records sent across digitally — photographs of receipts, bank exports, spreadsheets, whatever you already have. For most people that is quicker than travelling anywhere, and it means you aren't fitting your accounts around anyone's opening hours.

Being based in Egham still counts for something. We know the area, we know the kinds of business trading in it, and when a letter arrives from HMRC you get a considered answer the same day rather than a ticket number and a queue.

Questions about accountants in Egham

Are you actually based in Egham?

Yes — Egham, TW20. We're a genuinely local practice rather than a national firm with a Surrey phone number, which is why we know the area and the businesses in it. The work itself is done remotely, so being local costs you nothing in convenience.

Which areas around Egham do you cover?

We work with clients throughout Runnymede and the surrounding parts of Surrey and Berkshire, including Englefield Green, Virginia Water, Thorpe, Staines-upon-Thames, Chertsey, Old Windsor, Windsor, Wraysbury, Ashford and Addlestone. We also act for clients much further afield who are happy to work remotely.

How much does an accountant in Egham cost?

It depends on what you need — a straightforward self assessment return costs considerably less than year-end accounts plus payroll and VAT for a limited company. We'll give you a clear fixed price before any work starts, so there's no hourly meter running and no surprise invoice at the end.

Do you work with sole traders and very small businesses?

Yes, and they're a large part of what we do. Whether you've just started contracting, you're a landlord with one property, or you run a small limited company with a handful of staff, the work is the same in kind — just a different scale.

Can you help me switch from my current accountant?

Yes, and it's more routine than people expect. You tell your existing accountant you're moving, we write to them for your records — the professional clearance letter — and we handle the handover. In most cases there's very little for you to do beyond the initial email.

How does it work if we never meet in person?

Easily, and it's how nearly all of our clients now work. You send your records across digitally, we do the work, and anything worth talking through we talk through on the phone or a video call — which is usually a better use of an hour than a journey either way. You get one named accountant throughout, so you're never explaining your business from scratch.

Can you handle Making Tax Digital for me?

Yes. We'll confirm whether MTD applies to you and from when, help you get onto compatible software, and take care of the quarterly updates and the final declaration so the deadlines are ours to worry about rather than yours.
