Small Business Accountants in Kent

Fixed-fee chartered accountants for limited companies, sole traders, partnerships and start-ups across Kent.

Built for owner-managed businesses

Running a small business is hard enough without chasing your accountant for an answer. Professional Trust Group works almost exclusively with owner-managed businesses — companies where the founder is also the person doing the work and making the decisions. That shapes how we operate: clear fixed fees, fast replies, proactive advice, and qualified accountants on every job.

What's included

  • Annual limited company accounts and corporation tax return
  • Director's self-assessment tax return
  • Quarterly VAT returns under Making Tax Digital
  • Monthly payroll, RTI submissions and pension auto-enrolment
  • CIS for construction businesses
  • Cloud bookkeeping setup with Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and Dext
  • Unlimited ad-hoc questions — no clock-watching

Who this is for

Most of our small-business clients are turning over between £50k and £2m, often with a small team and a handful of contractors. If that's roughly you, we can almost certainly help. We work with businesses across Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Maidstone, Sittingbourne and the rest of Kent.

Switching accountants is easy

If you're already with another firm, we'll handle the whole handover for you — professional clearance, collection of records, and the move across to our systems. Most clients are switched over within a week or two with no disruption.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a small business accountant cost in Kent?
Most of our small-business clients pay a fixed monthly fee that bundles accounts, corporation tax, director's self-assessment, payroll and ad-hoc questions. Typical fees start from around £100–£150 per month for a small limited company, but it depends on the work involved. Everything is quoted upfront.
Do you specialise in any particular type of small business?
We work with a broad spread — professional services, trades and construction, retail, hospitality, healthcare, creative and tech. The thread that runs through it is owner-managed businesses where the founder wants a partner-led firm that explains things clearly.
Can you support Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and Dext?
Yes — we're certified partners with all of them. We'll either fit into your existing setup or recommend and configure the right platform for the way you work.
I'm just starting out. Can you help?
Absolutely. We help new businesses choose the right structure (sole trader, partnership or limited company), register with HMRC and Companies House, set up cloud accounting, and stay on top of deadlines from day one.
Can you handle CIS for construction businesses?
Yes — we work with contractors and subcontractors on CIS verification, monthly returns and the related self-assessment refunds.
Will I have a dedicated point of contact?
Yes. You'll work with one of our partners and a small team that knows your business, so you're never explaining yourself from scratch each time you call.
