Accountants in Virginia Water

A qualified accountant three miles away in Egham — for directors, landlords and family companies who want the detail explained rather than filed and forgotten.

Your local accountant in Virginia Water

PJFL Accountants acts for company directors, landlords, consultants and family businesses across Virginia Water, Wentworth and the rest of Runnymede — company accounts, personal tax, VAT and payroll, with the planning that ought to come before the filing.

We are based in Egham, about three miles away. Small enough that the person doing the work is the person you speak to, which matters more than it sounds when the answer turns on the details of your own arrangements rather than a general rule.

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

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 Virginia Water businesses choose PJFL

Directors taking money out of their own company

Much of our Virginia Water work is for people who own the business they run, where the interesting question is not the corporation tax return but what to do with the profit. Salary against dividends against pension contributions, whether a spouse's shareholding does what you believe it does, a director's loan account that has quietly gone overdrawn, and what becomes of all of it if you sell. We model it on your real numbers before the year end, while it can still be changed.

Property that is not only the house you live in

A second home, a let flat, somewhere bought for a child at university, land held for years. Each carries its own trap: the stamp duty surcharge going in, capital gains tax coming out, private residence relief that covers less than people assume, and the finance-cost restriction on anything mortgaged. We will set out the tax consequence before you commit, which is the only point at which it can still be influenced.

Passing things on

Inheritance tax reaches estates here that would be nowhere near it elsewhere in the country, and the reliefs that help — business property relief, the residence nil-rate band, gifts that need you to survive seven years — all reward being considered early. We will show you where an estate stands today and what the realistic options are, working with your solicitor on the parts that belong to them.

How we work with you

We are in Egham, roughly three miles from Virginia Water, and we act for clients throughout GU25 and the surrounding parts of Runnymede. Close enough to know the area, and small enough that you are not handed to a different person each year.

The work runs remotely — documents sent across digitally, questions answered by phone, email or video call, and the deadlines ours to track. Where something needs a proper conversation we have one, at a time that suits rather than one that fits an appointment book.

Questions about accountants in Virginia Water

Are you based in Virginia Water?

We are in Egham, around three miles away, and we work with clients across Virginia Water, Wentworth and the rest of GU25. It is all handled remotely — records sent digitally, questions answered by phone, email or video — so there is nothing to travel to.

I run my own limited company. Can you advise on how to pay myself?

Yes, and it is worth doing before the year end rather than after it. We will look at salary, dividends, pension contributions and whether your share structure is doing what you want it to, then give you a recommendation with the numbers behind it instead of a rule of thumb.

Can you help with inheritance tax planning?

We can show you where an estate stands, what the available reliefs and allowances genuinely cover, and what the options look like in practice. Drafting wills and trusts is a solicitor's work, and we will sit alongside yours rather than pretend otherwise.

Which areas around Virginia Water do you cover?

Virginia Water and Wentworth, along with Englefield Green, Egham, Thorpe, Sunningdale, Ascot, Chertsey, Lyne, Ottershaw and Longcross. We also act for clients well outside Surrey who prefer to work remotely.

What do you charge?

A fixed price, agreed in writing before any work begins and based on the actual scope rather than an hourly rate. If something later falls outside what we quoted for, we tell you what it will cost before doing it, not afterwards.

How straightforward is it to move to you?

Straightforward. You tell your current accountant you are moving, we write for your records and the professional clearance letter, and the handover happens between the two firms. In most cases the initial email is the only part that involves you.
