Our position

Most accountancy is a record of the past. Filing on time is the floor, not the job.

The accounts you file are history. We prepare them properly, then use what they show: where the margin went, what the group should look like, how the money comes out, and what HMRC will ask before they ask it. That is the difference between an accountant who reports and one who tells you what to do next.

What we do

Thirteen service areas. Two kinds of work.

The compliance that has to happen, and the advisory work that changes the outcome. Most firms only offer the first.

How this works

What happens when you enquire

That is the file. Four documents, one fixed fee.

Everything after that is the work itself, led by the chartered accountant you first spoke to.

Clients

Taken at their word.

We run four homes and several companies within the group, and before Sharp Accountax the bookkeeping was never in the same state twice. They took on all of it, the ledgers across every site, the payroll, the VAT, and it has been current ever since. Payroll in care is not simple: starters and leavers every month, statutory pay, agency invoices to reconcile against the rota. Bilal's team handle it without me chasing. Our statutory accounts are still filed elsewhere and Sharp Accountax work alongside that arrangement without friction. For anyone running homes across more than one site, having the day-to-day finance genuinely under control is worth a great deal.

Dr Shashi Balain CCH GroupCare Homes, Healthcare & Supported Living

I have a holding company and several trading companies underneath it, and I used to have a different arrangement for each one. Sharp Accountax now do all of it, the bookkeeping, the management figures, the annual accounts and the tax returns for every entity. The difference is having one person who can see the whole group rather than each company on its own. Questions get answered the same day, and the fee was agreed up front and has not moved since. I would not go back to running it the way I had it before.

Sam Fitzgerald Fitzgerald Holdings Group LimitedConstruction, Trades & Property Services

Ecommerce accounting is messier than people think. Multiple currencies, payment gateways settling on their own timetable, and transfers between my own accounts that kept turning up as sales. Sharp Accountax rebuilt the whole thing properly and now run the bookkeeping, VAT and accounts across my companies. What I appreciate most is that they understood the business before touching the numbers, I did not have to explain how online selling actually works. Anything I ask gets a straight answer rather than a maybe.

Hamza Sebnet Sebnet LimitedEcommerce, Online Retail & Marketplaces

I had a letter from HMRC saying I owed tax I did not think I owed, and no idea where to start with it. Bilal looked at the position, explained what had actually happened, and dealt with HMRC on my behalf. He also sorted out my tax status properly so the same thing does not arise again. Quick, clear, and no jargon.

Sharp Accountax handle my personal tax return. My income comes from more than one place and there are figures that have to line up with the company's records, which is where it used to go wrong. Now it is prepared from the actual numbers and explained to me before I sign it. No chasing in the last week of January.

Aran Aksoy Director and shareholderPersonal Tax & Private Client

Straightforward, quick and properly explained. I send what I have, I get questions back where something is missing, and the return is done well before the deadline. That is all I want from an accountant, and it is more than I got from the last one.

I was impressed by Bilal's turnaround speed and quality of work. I thoroughly recommend him.

Alexandru RosianuReview from Google

Working with Bilal was an excellent experience from start to finish. He handled both my business accounts and personal tax matters with real professionalism and care. He's been reliable, thorough, and easy to communicate with, and I've been consistently impressed with the results. If you're looking for an accountant who knows what he's doing and delivers, Bilal is the person for the job. Highly recommended.

Accountant services for UK Limited Company & Personal Tax Return Review from Upwork · July 2026

Despite having very messy accounts ruined by our previous accountants, Bilal spotted inconsistencies and was patient with all the concerns we had. We filed our annual accounts and helped us with the R&D tax credits report flawlessly. Highly recommended!

Alina IigilikovaReview from Google

I hired Bilal to handle the VAT registration for my UK entity while I was overseas, and he delivered everything seamlessly. Communication was clear, fast and reliable, and he guided me through the entire process with zero hassle on my side. Even though I wasn't in the UK at the time, Bilal managed the whole registration efficiently and kept me updated at every step. Everything was completed correctly and on time. I can highly recommend him to anyone who needs support with VAT registration or similar administrative tasks, especially if you are located abroad and need someone you can trust to handle things smoothly. Thanks again, Bilal.

UK VAT registration + HRMC agent Review from Upwork · September to November 2025

Bilal has been my accountant for the past 2 years. I cant recommend him enough. Excellent service, communication and always offers great advice.

SamReview from Google

We engaged Bilal for what we initially thought would be a one-off QuickBooks Online clean-up and reconciliation project. From day one, he exceeded our expectations … Bilal and his team delivered with absolute precision, working through more than three years of historic records to reconcile and clean our accounts. He aligned our QuickBooks balances with those filed at Companies House, corrected inconsistencies, and identified issues we did not even know existed … Our accounts are now clean, fully reconciled, consistent with filed accounts, and set up for smooth ongoing management.

UK QuickBooks Online Specialist & Long-Term Bookkeeper Review from Upwork · September 2025

Got a premium service which helped me unlock numerous tax benefits and understand financial irregularities missed by other accountants! Heavily reccomended

K SarwarReview from Google

Excellent work Bilal prepared and accounts and CT600 filings for two of my ecommerce businesses, and also reviewed accounts that had been filed incorrectly before he came on board. He spotted the errors, explained what was wrong and why it mattered, and dealt with the amended returns. My records were multi currency and across several payment platforms. He reconstructed everything from source, queried anything he was not sure about, and gave me clear workings at the end. Qualified chartered accountant running an ICAEW regulated firm, straight talking, no chasing needed. Highly recommended.

Accounting and accounts filing for a UK business Review from Upwork · November 2024 to August 2026

Exceptional Service. So impressed by their professionalism. They were prompt in responding to queries. Overall, my experience with Sharp Accountax was great.

Muhammad Abdul QadeerReview from Google

Having previously worked with two accounting agencies, I struggled to find someone who was both knowledgeable and genuinely easy to work with. Bilal is a clear communicator and makes himself available when needed. When I asked for specific tax advice, he researched the issue thoroughly and came back with a detailed report, which was extremely helpful. He is also very patient and understanding, especially when I have been delayed on my side. I have never felt pressured or received any attitude, which makes a huge difference. Excellent accountant and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

Personal Financial Planning support Review from Upwork · November 2024 to August 2026

Very helpful throughout the sessions and even after. Always available for small questions and sessions. Would definitely recommend.

Hamza ArifReview from Google

10/10 not only did he complete the task promptly and professionally but he went beyond this by correcting mistakes from previous freelancers to ensure perfection. Completed this within a day and was always available to answer any questions I had within minutes. By far the best upwork hire i have worked with, could not recommend Bilals services more.
