Accountants for architects
and design practices.
Online across the UK, or in person if you’re near Oswestry. Accounts, tax, VAT and payroll for architects who run their own limited company — with the project income and expenses handled properly, and a fixed fee agreed up front.
What Finstem does for an architecture company.
Year-end accounts
Statutory accounts prepared from the bookkeeping, reviewed with you, and filed at Companies House on time.
Corporation tax
The computation and the CT600 from the same figures, with the payment date confirmed in writing.
Bookkeeping
Bank feeds reconciled through the year so the numbers are current when a decision needs them.
Tax planning
Pay, dividends and capital spending reviewed before the year end, while they can still change the bill.
Questions from architects.
Q1My income comes in project by project. How is that handled?
Fees earned but not yet billed are treated as work in progress at the year end, so the accounts and the tax reflect the work actually done in the year — not just what’s been invoiced. Finstem sets the bookkeeping up to track it.
Q2Can I claim my professional indemnity insurance and subscriptions?
Yes. Professional indemnity cover, ARB and RIBA fees, software, CPD and the usual practice costs are allowable against the company’s profit when they’re incurred for the business.
Q3Do I need to be near you?
No. Finstem works with practices across the UK on cloud software, with online meetings and same-person support. If you’re near Oswestry, meetings in person are there when you want them.
Q4What does switching involve?
One email from you. Finstem requests professional clearance and your records, sets up the software and the HMRC authorisations, and confirms every filing date. Two to three weeks.
