Hi, I'm James Nicholson ACA.
Stress less over filing deadlines and all things HMRC, including their quarterly digital tax reporting system, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD IT)...
For £499 a month, after a one-off review and setup (quoted individually), I'll do all the thinking for you.
See full pricing below.
Now, I just calculate with numbers, like the rest of us (thank you, early years speech therapy).
This, and other examples of hypernumeracy and hyperlexia, led to a special educational needs (SEND) referral... Nothing came of it, as this was the mid-1990s, and children like me back then were just "bright" or "gifted".
By 18, I was juggling full-time work at KPMG and studying (if every word I read instantly falling out of my mind like a conveyor belt counts as studying) for both my Chartered Accountancy exams and a Durham University Accounting & Finance degree... Hello, burnout!
Now, I want to apply my Chartered qualification (years of Big Four training and experience, 15 professional exams, and ICAEW-approved professional development) to, well, this 👇🏻
I love the idea of an ND economy, applying our respective skills to each other's benefit. Just meeting each other where we're at in ways like extra processing time, which can be hard to find elsewhere.
I want to be the go-to accountant for neurodivergent sole traders wanting a level of support that isn't otherwise catered for. The accountant you can safely send your "messy taxes" to, free of any fear of judgement, because I have ADHD too. The accountant you can show your completely unconventional way of uploading receipts and expenses to, that makes sense to you and only you, because I have autism too. The accountant who can't pretend there are no stupid questions - but wants you to ask them anyway!
As a solo accountant, you're always communicating with the same voice (or same pair of hands typing an email reply), minimising the change and uncertainty many of us already struggle with.
Think of this like your favourite TV series:
This is where we refine your starting point, whatever that looks like, into initial accounts I can work with moving forward, much like a pilot lays the groundwork for the main series.
£499 / month
Each set of accounts, like episodes throughout a series (ideally), feels more familiar and seamless than the last.
+£99 / month
Not needed to enjoy the main series, but essential to some - you know who you are...
If you're VAT registered, I'll handle your quarterly VAT returns and keep HMRC happy.
I'll always need some low-effort input from you (scanning and uploading invoices and receipts - easier than ever with Xero), but the high-thinking, stress-inducing parts are mine to own. If something needs explaining, it'll be without judgement, and, where possible, without jargon.
I'm trying to operate on common sense rather than convention. If you think I've defaulted to standard practice where something better exists, I'm genuinely interested to hear your ideas - drop it in the anything else box in the contact form.
A note on scope and transparency
If your situation falls outside standard sole trader operations, or you need more contact than normal monthly scope covers, we'll agree any additional pricing before proceeding - no surprises.
Current pricing reflects my best thinking and may evolve as the practice grows. I'll always be upfront if experience tells me something needs revisiting.
No pressure, no commitment, no cost - just a conversation to see if we're a good fit.
Give me the essentials and I'll come back to you.
I'll look over everything you've provided, have a think about your situation, and we'll take it from there by email.
