A qualified accountant five miles away in Egham — for the shops, restaurants and small companies trading in a town where the visitors set the calendar.
PJFL Accountants works with retailers, restaurants, contractors, landlords and limited companies across Windsor and the Royal Borough — bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, year-end accounts and the tax planning that ought to come before them.
We are based in Egham, about five miles away. The day-to-day runs on email, phone and video call with records sent across digitally, and you deal with the person who actually does the work rather than an account manager relaying it.
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.
Windsor retail and food businesses hit VAT problems that a service company never meets. Takeaway against eat-in, hot against cold, zero-rated goods sitting next to standard-rated ones on the same receipt, and the retail schemes that exist precisely because you cannot analyse every transaction by hand. Getting the right scheme in place is worth real money, and getting it wrong is the kind of error that surfaces years later with interest attached.
Trade in Windsor rises and falls with visitors, and the payroll has to move with it — people taken on for the summer, hours that change week to week, holiday pay calculated on variable earnings, and auto-enrolment triggering the moment someone qualifies. Since October 2024 there are also rules on how tips are allocated and recorded. We run it so it works each period instead of becoming a monthly argument with the software.
In a busy town-centre business the annual accounts arrive far too late to fix anything. We put in bookkeeping that keeps up, then produce management figures often enough to be useful: what each part of the business actually earns after staff and stock, which lines are carrying the others, and what the quiet months will cost. It is the difference between accounts as a compliance job and accounts you can steer by.
Windsor has a substantial corporate employer base, and with it a steady flow of people going independent. Whether to use an umbrella company or your own limited, who decides your IR35 status and what happens if they get it wrong, what you can claim while working away from home, how to draw money out efficiently once profits are real. We will work it through on your actual numbers rather than a generic example.
We act for clients throughout Windsor (SL4) and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead, from just down the road in Egham:
We are based in Egham, around five miles from Windsor, and act for clients across SL4 and the Royal Borough. Near enough to know the town and the way trade moves through its year.
The work is remote: records and receipts sent across digitally, questions answered by phone, email or video, and the filing deadlines ours to track. For a business that cannot leave the counter unattended, that is usually the point.
We are in Egham, around five miles away, and we act for clients throughout Windsor and the Royal Borough. Everything is handled remotely — records sent digitally, questions answered by phone, email or video — so there is nothing you need to travel for.
It depends on your mix of eat-in, takeaway, hot and cold, and on how your till records it. There are retail schemes designed for exactly this, and the right one can be worth a meaningful sum each year. We will look at what you actually sell before recommending one, rather than putting everyone on the same thing.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do for Windsor businesses. RTI submissions, starters and leavers, holiday pay on variable hours, auto-enrolment as people qualify, and the tip allocation rules that came into force in October 2024. Set up once, then run each period without drama.
Windsor, Old Windsor, Eton, Datchet, Dedworth, Wraysbury, Slough, Ascot, Egham, Englefield Green and Maidenhead, along with the rest of the Royal Borough. We also act for clients much further afield who work with us remotely.
No. Tax is national, so nothing about your position depends on which side of the river your accountant sits. Being five miles away means we know the town; it has no bearing on the work itself, which is handled remotely in any case.
We agree a fixed price in writing before starting, based on the real scope rather than an hourly rate. Switching is routine: tell your current accountant you are moving, we request the records and professional clearance, and the handover runs between the two firms.
