Keeping your business finances on track,
so you can focus on what matters
Established in 2012, Blueband Accountancy provides reliable, practical accounting support to small and medium businesses across the UK. We understand the challenges of running one, and we take the stress out of the finances so you have the confidence and the time to grow.
No obligation, no pressure, and no charge for the first conversation, which is with Bas himself.
What sets us apart
Six reasons business owners in Orpington, Bromley and across the UK choose us.
Easy to reach, always
No switchboard and no being passed around. When you need something, you have direct access to Bas and the knowledgeable team around him, and you hear back quickly, usually the same working day.
FreeAgent specialists, fluent in all four
FreeAgent is our platform of choice, but we are just as at home in Xero, QuickBooks and Sage. We work to your preference, so you are never forced to switch.
Making Tax Digital proficient
MTD is not something we are getting ready for. We already file this way, and we will have you set up before the rules reach your business.
Competitive rates
Fixed fees agreed upfront and priced for small and medium businesses, so you know exactly what you are paying before any work starts.
Over ten years of experience
Trading since 2012, through several rounds of tax and reporting changes, with the client relationships to show for it.
Accountants you can trust
Every figure explained, every deadline managed in advance, and a straight answer when you ask a difficult question.
For an SME owner, accounting is about more than numbers. It is about having someone you can trust to give clear advice, meet your financial obligations and help you make confident decisions.
Blueband was founded by Basith (Bas) Wahab, and built from a genuine understanding of small business. Having helped manage the finances of his family's restaurant from a young age, Bas knows first-hand the challenges, pressures and responsibilities that come with running one. That experience is still at the heart of the practice: reliable accounting support, clear advice, and a service built around the needs of business owners.
And when you work with Blueband, you work with Bas and his close-knit team - no being handed down the line. The people you speak to are the people who know your business.
An accountant you can actually get hold of
Plenty of business owners know the frustration of chasing their accountant for an answer. Blueband works differently: when you need something, you have direct access to Bas and the knowledgeable team around him.
Direct access to Bas and the team
When you call or email, you deal with Bas or the close-knit team around him, not a switchboard or someone who has never heard of your business.
Quick replies
Questions get answered quickly, usually the same working day, rather than sitting in an inbox for a week.
No being passed around
A small team who already know your accounts, so you never have to explain your situation twice.
A full finance function, without the headcount
Everything from the day-to-day bookkeeping through to the year-end filings and the tax planning around them.
Bookkeeping
Clean, current books are the foundation of everything else. We keep yours accurate and up to date so you always know where the business stands, rather than finding out ten months later.
Read moreAccounts preparation
Annual accounts prepared properly and filed on time, with the numbers explained to you in plain English before anything goes near Companies House or HMRC.
Read morePayroll
Your team paid correctly and on time, every time, with the RTI submissions, pensions and paperwork handled behind the scenes so it stops being your problem.
Read moreVAT
VAT returns prepared, reviewed and filed under Making Tax Digital, with an eye on whether the scheme you are on is still the right one for the business you have now.
Read moreCorporation and capital gains tax
Tax handled with a bit of forward thinking. We look at the reliefs available to you, the timing of decisions and the structure of the business, rather than just reporting what already happened.
Read moreCIS (Construction Industry Scheme)
For contractors and subcontractors in construction, CIS comes with its own monthly deadlines and deductions. We handle the returns and the checks, and make sure subcontractors get back what they are owed.
Read moreLimited assurance engagement
Where a lender, investor or other third party needs more comfort than unaudited accounts give them, but a full statutory audit would be overkill.
Read moreWhatever shape your business takes
The structure changes what you have to file and what you can claim. We work across all three.
Sole traders
You are the business, so your personal tax and your business tax are the same conversation. We keep the record keeping light, file your self assessment on time, and make sure you are claiming everything you are entitled to.
Partnerships
Partnerships need the partnership return and each partner's own position handled together, or figures start to disagree with each other. We look after both sides so profit shares, drawings and personal tax all line up.
Limited companies
More reporting, more deadlines and more decisions about how you take money out of the business. We handle the statutory side and talk you through the choices, so the structure works for you rather than against you.
Straightforward from the first conversation
Talk it through
A free, no obligation conversation with Bas about the business, where it is going and what is getting in the way.
A clear quote
A fixed fee based on what you actually need, agreed in writing before any work starts. No hourly billing, no surprises.
We handle the move
If you already have an accountant we deal with the handover and request your records, so there is nothing for you to chase.
Stay in touch
Regular contact through the year, deadlines managed in advance, and Bas and the team on the end of the phone when you need an answer.
