HMRC-registered accountants serving Oxford City Centre OX1 and OX2 online. Biotech and life sciences spin-outs, tech and creative agencies, Westgate concession holders, hospitality around Cornmarket and the High and the diverse SME community. Fixed fees, same-day filing.
Oxford City Centre has one of the world's most concentrated knowledge-economy business communities. OX1 and OX2 cover the central commercial district, the substantial Oxford University and college estates, the long parade of independent retailers along Cornmarket Street, the High, Broad Street and the Westgate Oxford retail destination, the substantial Jericho independent restaurant and creative cluster, the Oxford Castle Quarter creative and hospitality area, the substantial biotech and life sciences spin-out economy (Oxford BioMedica, Vaccitech, Oxford Nanopore and many smaller spin-outs), the proximity to Oxford Science Park and Begbroke Science Park, and a wider city centre community shaped by Oxford's status as one of the world's strongest knowledge-economy clusters.
That density gives Oxford a particular accounting profile. Biotech and life sciences founders need investor-ready Limited Company structures, EIS and SEIS handling, and R&D tax credit work where genuine. University spin-out companies have specific considerations around founder shares, intellectual property licensing from the university and equity structures. Westgate and Clarendon Centre concession holders need specific landlord turnover reporting. Hospitality operators across Cornmarket, the High and Jericho need solid VAT treatment and proper Tronc handling. Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, serves Oxford clients fully online with fixed monthly fees and same-day filing.

Client K runs an Oxford University biotech spin-out based at the Oxford Science Park, with a small team of six working on a novel therapeutic approach. When she came to us she was preparing for her first institutional investment round, her Companies House records were behind, her bookkeeping was on spreadsheets, and her genuine R&D activity (which was the entire business) had not been claimed for tax credits properly.
We rebuilt her accounting on Xero with proper project-cost capitalisation, formalised the cap table with a proper shareholders' agreement (including the founder share structure, university equity stake and licence fee arrangements) drafted with a specialist solicitor we work with regularly, prepared the SEIS Advance Assurance application for the first £200k slice, EIS Advance Assurance for the larger institutional round, prepared a substantial R&D tax credit claim with the required technical narrative, and put management accounts in place ready for investor due diligence.
Outcome: closed a £1.6m round (mix of SEIS, EIS and institutional capital) on clean investor-ready financials, R&D tax credit of £72,000 cash-back on the previous period, and a structure that handles future Series A funding smoothly.
No obligation. No jargon. A straightforward conversation about your Oxford city centre business, whether you're a Science Park biotech founder, a Jericho restaurant or a Westgate concession.
