Accountant in Surrey
Accuprime is a Surrey-based accountant and tax adviser working with individuals, landlords, contractors and limited companies right across the county. From our office at 5 Slipshatch Road, Reigate, Surrey, RH2 8HA we offer face-to-face meetings and fully remote cloud accounting — covering everywhere from Guildford and Woking to Epsom, Dorking and Staines-upon-Thames.
Why use a Surrey accountant?
Surrey is one of the most economically active counties in the UK, with a dense mix of professional-services firms, technology and consultancy contractors, family-run trades and a large population of London-commuting professionals. That blend creates tax and accounting needs that a generic, anonymous online provider rarely understands. Choosing a Surrey accountant who knows the county — its property market, its commuter patterns and its self-employed base — means advice that fits how people here actually earn and invest.
Accuprime is rooted in Surrey rather than visiting from elsewhere. We are based in Reigate, near the centre of the county, with the M25, A25 and fast rail links to London and the south coast on the doorstep. That central position lets us serve clients across Surrey efficiently, whether you want to drop into the office or keep everything digital. We are an accountant and tax adviser, not a faceless call centre, so you deal with people who recognise your situation when you call back.
Towns and areas we serve across Surrey
We act for clients throughout the county. A Reigate base keeps us central, but our work spans Surrey from the western boroughs to the commuter towns of the north and east:
- Reigate (RH2) and Redhill (RH1)
- Dorking (RH4, RH5)
- Guildford (GU1, GU2)
- Woking (GU21, GU22)
- Epsom and Ewell (KT17, KT18, KT19)
- Leatherhead (KT22)
- Staines-upon-Thames (TW18)
- Camberley (GU15, GU16)
- Farnham (GU9, GU10)
- Esher (KT10) and Weybridge (KT13)
- Caterham (CR3)
If your town is not listed, it almost certainly still falls within our coverage — Surrey is our home county and we work with clients in every district. For our nearest-to-base local pages, see our dedicated guidance for clients in Reigate, Redhill and Dorking.
Services for Surrey individuals and businesses
We provide a complete range of tax, accountancy and compliance services tailored to the people and businesses we work with across the county.
Tax services
- Self assessment tax returns — for the self-employed, landlords, company directors, higher earners and anyone with untaxed income to declare.
- Capital gains tax advice and 60-day reporting — especially relevant given Surrey's elevated property values.
- Corporation tax — CT600 returns, reliefs and forward planning for limited companies.
- Making Tax Digital — software setup and MTD compliance for VAT and, increasingly, income tax.
Accounting services
- Payroll — PAYE, RTI submissions and pension auto-enrolment for Surrey employers.
- Bookkeeping — monthly or quarterly bookkeeping on cloud software you can access anywhere.
- VAT returns — MTD-compliant quarterly submissions and scheme advice.
Company formation and finance
- Limited company setup — Companies House registration, PSC register and share-structure advice for new Surrey ventures.
- Business loans and asset finance — sourced through our panel of lenders.
Surrey landlords and capital gains tax
Property values across Surrey are well above the national average, so when a buy-to-let or second home is sold the capital gains tax bill is rarely trivial. Since April 2020, UK residents disposing of residential property that is not their only or main home must report the gain and pay the tax due within 60 days of completion. Missing that window triggers automatic HMRC penalties and interest, and many Surrey landlords are caught out by how short it is.
We help landlords and second-home owners throughout the county get this right: preparing and filing the 60-day return, reviewing allowable purchase, sale and improvement costs that reduce the gain, checking Private Residence Relief and any remaining lettings relief, and planning the timing of disposals to make the most of the annual £3,000 exempt amount. You can also try our free capital gains tax calculator for a quick estimate before you book advice. HMRC's own guidance on reporting and paying CGT on property is available on GOV.UK.
Surrey contractors, freelancers and SMEs
Surrey has a deep base of independent contractors and small businesses — IT and engineering consultants, management and financial professionals, creative freelancers and the trades that support the county's affluent housing stock. For these clients we handle self assessment, IR35 status considerations, expense and home-office claims, payments on account planning, and the perennial sole trader versus limited company decision.
For established SMEs and limited companies, from one-person personal-service companies in Guildford to growing employers in Woking or Camberley, we provide the full cycle: bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, year-end accounts, the corporation tax return, confirmation statement and director self assessment. Where it helps, we advise on dividend planning, the salary and dividend mix, and keeping the director's loan account clean.
London-commuting professionals living in Surrey
A defining feature of the county is the commuter belt: tens of thousands of Surrey residents work in central London but live in towns such as Woking, Esher, Weybridge and Epsom. Their tax affairs often go beyond a simple PAYE salary — share options and RSUs, bonus and pension contributions, rental income from a former home, and side businesses all add complexity. As a Surrey-based firm we are contactable outside London commuting hours and we make filing painless, so a return that has crept past the basics never becomes a deadline scramble.
In person from Reigate, or fully remote across Surrey
You choose how we work together. Visit us in person at our Reigate office, or run everything remotely through secure cloud accounting — uploading documents, approving figures and signing returns online, with video or phone calls whenever you want to talk things through. Both options give you the same accountant who knows your file; remote working simply removes the need to travel across the county for routine matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover the whole of Surrey? ▼
Yes. Accuprime is a Surrey-based firm operating from 5 Slipshatch Road, Reigate, RH2 8HA, and we act for clients right across the county — from Guildford, Woking and Farnham in the west to Epsom, Leatherhead and Caterham in the east, and Staines-upon-Thames and Camberley in the north. Wherever you are in Surrey, we can help.
Can you work remotely with Surrey businesses? ▼
Absolutely. Most of our day-to-day work runs on cloud accounting software, so you can share documents securely, sign returns digitally and meet by video call. Many Surrey clients never need to visit the office. We combine fully remote service across the county with the option of in-person meetings in Reigate when you prefer them.
Do you help Surrey landlords with capital gains tax? ▼
Yes, and it is one of our most common county-wide enquiries. High property values across Surrey mean buy-to-let and second-home disposals frequently trigger sizeable gains. We handle the mandatory 60-day CGT reporting, review allowable costs and improvements, check Private Residence and lettings relief, and help time disposals so you use your annual allowance and reliefs efficiently.
How much does a Surrey accountant cost? ▼
Fees depend on the work involved. Self assessment for an individual typically starts from around £200, while year-end accounts and corporation tax for a small limited company usually start from around £750 per year. After a free consultation we provide a clear fixed quote, so you know the cost before you commit — no surprise bills.
Do you offer in-person meetings? ▼
Yes. Our office at 5 Slipshatch Road, Reigate is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:30, and you are welcome to meet face-to-face. Reigate sits centrally for the county with good road and rail links, so it is convenient for clients travelling from across Surrey. Video and phone consultations are also available if that suits you better.
Do you work with London-commuting professionals based in Surrey? ▼
Frequently. A large share of Surrey residents work in London but live in towns like Woking, Esher, Weybridge and Epsom. We handle their self assessment, share scheme and bonus reporting, rental income and side-business accounts, and are reachable outside London commuting hours — so you are not chasing an accountant who is only free during your working day.
