Accounting services for Strood clients
Strood is the closest town to our office — Kenden Business Park sits on Medway City Estate, on Strood's side of the river, minutes from the town centre. For ME2 businesses, trades and landlords, we are effectively the accountant around the corner.
Medway City Estate, where our office sits, is technically Frindsbury — which means Strood businesses can reach us faster than anyone else in Medway. That proximity shows in our client list: trades and construction firms based around Strood's industrial areas, retailers at Strood Retail Park and along the High Street, haulage and logistics operators using the A228 and M2 links, and the growing number of businesses drawn in by the Temple Marsh and riverside regeneration.
Strood's economy has always leaned practical — building, engineering, transport, retail — and our service reflects that. We keep the compliance machinery running quietly in the background (accounts, VAT, CIS, payroll, self-assessment) and step in with proper advice at the moments that matter: taking on staff, buying a unit, incorporating, or winding down.
With the riverside developments and Medway's wider house-building programme, ME2 is full of contractors and subcontractors. We run CIS monthly returns, recover over-deducted tax for subcontractor companies, apply the domestic VAT reverse charge correctly and keep gross-payment status applications on track — the everyday plumbing of construction finance, done properly.
Strood's comparative affordability and its fast HS1 connection from Strood station have made it a target for buy-to-let investors. We advise ME2 landlords on financing structures, incorporation, and the capital-gains position on disposals — including the regeneration-area uplift many owners are now sitting on.
We offer a full range of accounting and tax services to clients in Strood, including:

The local accountancy landscape is consolidating fast, and many clients of newly acquired firms are noticing the difference: higher fees, less partner time, advice shaped by group targets. Independence lets a firm work differently. Here's what that means in practice — and how easy switching really is.
If your company rents its premises, vehicles or equipment, your accounts are about to look different. Here's what the 2026 FRS 102 lease changes mean for small companies — framework by framework — with a worked example and a preparation checklist.
It surprises most people: unlike "solicitor", the word "accountant" has no legal protection in the UK. So what do "chartered" and "certified" actually guarantee, what is HMRC's new tax adviser registration regime, and how do you verify the firm you're about to trust with your finances?
