Sole Trader Accounts
in Bristol

We provide expert sole trader accounts services tailored to your needs. Reed & Co. will ensure your finances are in safe hands — saving you time and helping your business grow.

Taking the weight
off your shoulders

Being a self-employed sole trader is the easiest and fastest way to start trading. As a sole trader, you do not have a separate legal entity from yourself, such as with a Limited Company.

You make all the decisions and any profit you make is yours, subject to income tax and national insurance.

When you use our cost-effective service, we will prepare your annual accounts and self-assessment tax return, ensuring that it is filed on time, and offer advice on how you can minimise your tax liability.

I can’t recommend Reed & Co enough. Paul initially set up my business in 2023 and has helped the company grow immensely since then. Both Keean and Paul are very responsive. I send a message and get a reply quickly, and whenever I call, they’re always there to listen to my plans. They’ve been incredibly helpful in putting structure in place to prevent any hiccups and to keep the business running in the most tax efficient way.

I contacted Paul last minute before a deadline, and not only was he accommodating, but he and his team were also incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. This was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had doing my taxes. Highly recommend!
