Inside the gate

An accountant you can reach. A fee you can plan around.

Most people who come to us were tired of chasing. Emails that sat for a week. Bills that arrived without warning. Answers that needed a dictionary. Londongate was built to be the opposite.

Before: A week for a reply.

With Londongate: A dedicated accountant who answers. Out of hours and weekends too, when you need us most.

Before: A bill you did not see coming.

With Londongate: One fixed fee, agreed before we start. Not a penny more.

Before: Jargon.

With Londongate: Plain English. We explain it until it makes sense.

Questions

What people ask before they switch.

No. Once you say yes, we write to your current accountant, collect your records and pick up where they left off. Most of the work happens without you.

You get a fixed quote for the agreed work within 48 hours, and that is exactly what we charge. Small business packages start from £114 a month plus VAT. If you would rather pay by the hour, we can do that too.

Yes. Every package includes a dedicated accountant and unlimited support. We are available by phone, email and video call, and out of hours or at weekends when you need us most.

Only if you want to. Meet us on City Road or in Ilford, or we can come to your home or business. Plenty of clients do everything by phone and email.

Yes. Dealing with HMRC is part of every package. Send us the letter and we will tell you what it means and what happens next.

If you are a sole trader or landlord with self-employment and property income over £50,000, it has applied since April 2026. The threshold drops to £30,000 in April 2027 and £20,000 in April 2028. It means keeping digital records and sending HMRC an update every quarter. We set it up and send the updates for you.

Not at all. We work with individuals and families as well as businesses, and a self assessment return gets the same care as a set of company accounts.
