HMRC-registered accountants serving Bath BA1 and BA2 online. Tourism and hospitality around the Roman Baths and Pulteney Bridge, retailers in the SouthGate and Milsom Street, professionals, University of Bath freelancers and the affluent small business community. Fixed fees, real people on the phone.
Bath has one of the UK's most distinctive World Heritage business communities. BA1 and BA2 cover Bath itself plus Combe Down, Larkhall and parts of Twerton, anchored by the substantial year-round tourism economy around the Roman Baths, Pulteney Bridge, the Royal Crescent and Bath Abbey, the long-running independent retailer and hospitality presence along Milsom Street and around the SouthGate shopping centre, the substantial University of Bath presence supporting academic and research businesses, the long-established affluent residential community, and a wider Bath community that combines deep heritage and tourism trade with one of the south-west's strongest small-business traditions.
That mix creates a particular accounting profile. Tourism-dependent businesses need cash flow forecasting that accounts for seasonal patterns. Independent retailers along Milsom Street need solid bookkeeping. Long-running professional services firms need sensible Limited Company structures and pension planning. University of Bath researchers with consulting income need careful categorisation. Hospitality with substantial event and wedding trade needs proper VAT treatment of advance deposits. Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, serves Bath clients online with fixed monthly fees.

Client P runs a small independent hotel in Bath with substantial wedding business and conference trade alongside ordinary tourist trade. When she came to us her VAT had been filed by a part-time bookkeeper who wasn't really tracking the business properly, her Tronc arrangement for staff tips was informal resulting in unnecessary NI being paid, and her cash flow was being hammered by paying VAT on advance deposits she had taken for future events.
We took over the VAT filing directly, formalised the Tronc scheme saving roughly 15 per cent of the tip value on NI, moved her onto Cash Accounting for VAT, sorted the correct VAT treatment of advance deposits (output VAT due when received, not at the event date), and built a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast that accounted for the Bath-specific seasonal pattern.
Year one outcome: annual saving of around £6,200 from the Tronc scheme and corrected VAT timing, cleaner cash flow visibility, and a system that handles future event bookings properly.
No obligation. No jargon. A straightforward conversation about your Bath business, whether you're a tourism operator, a Milsom Street retailer or a hotel taking wedding deposits.
