Accountant in Eastbourne
Tax & Accounting for Eastbourne Businesses
Eastbourne BN20-BN23 is a Sussex coastal town with a large tourism, hospitality, conference and care-sector economy, a seafront and pier, a substantial retired and older population supporting a strong care and healthcare sector, and good rail links. The town has a substantial self-employed, professional and small-business community, a significant holiday-let and buy-to-let landlord market, and seasonal trading patterns.
That gives Eastbourne a varied accounting profile. The tourism, hospitality and conference businesses need seasonal hospitality bookkeeping with the right VAT and tronc treatment. The care-sector businesses need payroll-heavy bookkeeping and the right structure. Professionals and contractors need self-assessment and Ltd company structures. And the holiday-let and buy-to-let landlord community needs Furnished Holiday Let and Section 24 advice. We work with Eastbourne clients entirely online, with fixed monthly fees.

Real Client Story
How we restructured an Eastbourne care business for £9,400 saving
Client K runs a domiciliary care business in Eastbourne with a large team of care workers, trading as a Ltd company. The payroll was complex with variable hours and mileage, the Employment Allowance wasn't being claimed, the director remuneration wasn't optimised, and no pension auto-enrolment review had been done despite the growing team.
We took over the full payroll including the variable hours and mileage, claimed the Employment Allowance against the employer NIC, reviewed and corrected the auto-enrolment pension position, restructured the director's remuneration into an efficient salary-plus-dividend mix, and set up employer pension contributions for the director as a tax-efficient extraction.
Total outcome: annual saving of £9,400 through the Employment Allowance, efficient director remuneration and pension contributions, plus clean compliant payroll and auto-enrolment for the growing care team.
