The ace up your sleeve.

Everything your business needs, under one roof.

From your first invoice to your year-end accounts — one partner who knows your numbers and answers the phone.

Fixed fees. Agreed in writing. No surprises.

You'll never get an unexpected bill for a phone call or a question. Every engagement starts with a written fixed quote — these are our starting points.

All fees are monthly unless stated, and exclude VAT. Accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent) is billed separately — and we can arrange a discounted FreeAgent subscription for you. Complex cases are quoted individually, always in writing before any work begins.

Build your fee in 30 seconds.

Answer a few questions for an indicative monthly figure. It's a guide, not a quote — your real fixed fee is confirmed in writing after a free consultation.

What's changing — and what it means for you.

Plain-English notes on the tax deadlines and rule changes that actually affect small businesses. Updated as the rules move.

These notes are general information, not personal tax advice. Rules change; always confirm how they apply to your circumstances before acting.

The people behind your numbers.

Islam founded Spades Consultancy to give small businesses the accountant he always wanted for his own: one who answers the phone, explains the numbers in plain language, and treats your money like it matters. Egyptian by background and Brighton by home, he works with clients across the UK in both English and Arabic. His specialism is the tricky end of tax — e-commerce and cross-border VAT — where he helps online sellers and international traders stay compliant and keep more of what they earn.
