A qualified accountant three miles along the river in Egham — for the trades, consultancies and second incomes that a village on the Berkshire border runs on.
PJFL Accountants acts for sole traders, contractors, landlords and small limited companies across Old Windsor and the surrounding parts of the Royal Borough, handling everything from a first self assessment return to year-end accounts and payroll.
We are based in Egham, about three miles away on the Surrey side of the river. The county line makes no difference to how you are taxed and none to how we work: records sent across digitally, questions answered by phone, email or video, and one named accountant who knows your situation.
The full range of accountancy work, from a single tax return to running the finance function of an established company.
Self assessment, corporation tax and planning that keeps the bill legitimately down.
Records kept straight through the year, so year end isn't a scramble.
RTI submissions, payslips, pensions auto-enrolment and starters and leavers.
Statutory accounts prepared and filed with Companies House and HMRC.
Cashflow, pricing and structure — the decisions that actually move the numbers.
Compatible software, quarterly updates and the final declaration handled.
Old Windsor is full of people with a job and something else running alongside it — a trade at weekends, consultancy in the evenings, a shop on a marketplace site. The questions are always the same: whether the thousand pound trading allowance covers it, at what point a side line becomes a business HMRC expects to hear about, and how the tax on it interacts with what is already being deducted under PAYE. We will tell you where the line falls and register you if you have crossed it.
A village this close to Windsor and the Great Park sees a lot of letting that is not a straightforward tenancy. Rent-a-room relief covers up to seven and a half thousand pounds from a lodger and is often missed entirely; short lets through booking platforms are reported to HMRC whether or not they appear on a return; and since the furnished holiday letting rules ended in April 2025 the old advantages of that treatment have gone. We will work out which of those you are actually in.
Most Old Windsor businesses operate from a house, a van or a yard rather than premises. That shapes the practical questions: what proportion of the home is fair to claim, whether a van or a car is better held personally or through a company, how to keep records without losing an evening a week, and when turnover is close enough to the VAT threshold to need watching rather than ignoring.
Between Windsor, Slough and the airport there is no shortage of contract work, and the structure you use for it matters more than the day rate suggests. Umbrella company or your own limited, whether an engagement sits inside IR35 and who decides, what you can genuinely claim while working away — we will go through it on your figures before you sign rather than after the first payslip disappoints.
We act for clients throughout Old Windsor (SL4) and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead, from just down the road in Egham:
We are in Egham, roughly three miles from Old Windsor and just over the Surrey border. Close enough to know the area, and near enough to the same commuter and trade economy that the questions are familiar ones.
Everything runs remotely — records sent across digitally, questions answered by phone, email or video call, deadlines tracked by us. Working across a county boundary changes nothing about how you are taxed or how we handle it.
We are in Egham, around three miles away on the Surrey side of the river, and we work with clients throughout Old Windsor and the Royal Borough. It is all handled remotely, so there is nothing you need to travel for.
Not at all. Income tax, corporation tax, VAT and payroll are national, so nothing about your position changes at the county line. What local means here is that we know the area and the kinds of business in it, not that a boundary has any effect on the work.
If the income is above the thousand pound trading allowance, yes. Below it you generally do not, though there are exceptions worth checking. We will tell you which side of it you are on, register you if needed, and make sure the tax on the side income is worked out properly against the PAYE already deducted.
Often not, thanks to rent-a-room relief, which covers up to seven and a half thousand pounds a year and is one of the most commonly missed allowances there is. Above that, or where the letting is really a holiday let rather than a lodger, different rules apply. We will work out which applies to you and whether anything needs reporting.

A fixed price agreed in writing before we start, based on what you need rather than an hourly rate. Moving is simple: you tell your current accountant you are leaving, we request your records and the professional clearance letter, and we handle the rest between us.
