Starting your own business? We can help

We are an Essex based accountancy company specialising in working with startup businesses, small businesses and contractors. We are here to help you get your business up and running in the most cost effective manner possible.

If you are thinking of starting a business we can help you understand the benefits of forming a limited company, how to deal with HMRC and how to manage your expenses. We will provide you with easy to use software to track your cash flow and advise you on how to make your business as tax efficient and profitable as possible.

For contractors we can offer a low cost package that includes the running of regular payroll, dealing with HMRC and ensuring that all accounts and returns are filed correctly. For many contractors this is a much more cost effective solution than using an umbrella company.

Pinnacle have been my accountants for over 6 years for my consultancy business and have been excellent. I would highly recommend them for both those who are starting up a new business or have established businesses. Whilst excellent value, the most important attributes for my business was the quality of advice, levels of integrity, competence and professionalism. Equally, they are highly responsive, engaging and supportive, successfully navigating my business through what can be challenging and complex legislative requirements, which can have significant detrimental ramifications for businesses if not managed appropriately.

Pinnacle Accountancy have done a great job of handling all my taxes both business and personal. They are alway there to help answer my questions and provide expert advice.
James and the team at Pinnacle are absolutely brilliant. They have helped me, a first time business owner, navigate the complexities of VAT returns, PAYE and everything in-between. No question is too silly and their expertise and willingness to go above and beyond to explain things to me has made managing my company finances a smooth process. Highly recommended.

Thoroughly satisfied with level of professional services provided by Pinnacle Accountancy Limited, staff are extremely helpful and patient especially for new comers starting their business. Communication is clear and concise, there is always a willingness to break down the jargon and provide easy to understand information. Particularly enjoyed using their finance tracking app, made it easy to keep track of the company accounts through my mobile.

Professional, seamless service!Sucessfully managing a business means that you must surround yourself with specialised professionals to attend to areas of the business with which you are not familiar with / are not an expert on yourself.When it comes to accountancy there is no room for guessing; you must get it right!I have been working with Pinnacle Accountancy for nearly 2 years and I am super pleased with their work ethic - prompt and accurate response, whilst being personal and friendly. Filing is done on time which is crucial. In essence Pinnacle Accountancy removes a huge weight off my shoulders. I never worry about accountancy, and basically limit my involvement to action Pinnacle's instructions / guidelines whenever needed.I find Pinnacle Accountancy's to be an invaluable support to my business and hence cannot recommend them enough!

When I started my small business, I can honestly say that I did not have a clue about all the jargon and various reports that needed to be filed at Companys House and with HMRC. However, being with Pinnacle changed all that, Hashim (my account) is just amazing. As well as providing accounting services, tutorials on using the accounting software and debunking the jargon on reports are just brilliant, making all aspects of my business easy to understand. After my tutorials, I have much a clearer understanding on what I need to do to for my business to succeed. Honestly, Hashim and James …. THANK YOU so much. Frances

Pinnacle have been our accountants since our business was first incorporated and have been of invaluable assistance since before inception. They are friendly, helpful, responsive, prompt and efficient. True business partners who are more like friends. We would have been lost without them. Absolutely worth every penny and would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend.

Fixed Fee Accountancy Services

If you are looking for startup accountants in Essex, we are the experts.

Many high street accountants will charge you an hourly rate for their work. We do things differently. Because we work with startups and contractors we know that keeping costs to the minimum is often a priority. That is why we operate on a fixed fee model. We will assess your business and work out what accountancy work you will need during the year. We will then break down that cost into a manageable monthly amount so that you can spread the cost over the year, rather than being lumbered with a big accountancy bill at the end of the year.
