Accountants for small businesses · Woking, Surrey
Alder & Gale looks after sole traders and limited companies across Woking and Surrey. Fixed monthly fees, reminders before every deadline, and nobody ever billed for a question.
What most clients pay
Fees fixed in writing before we start. Xero, QuickBooks or a shoebox of receipts: all fine. Full list on the fees page.
Who we help
No minimum size. If you make a living and HMRC wants to hear about it, that's our kind of client.
Trades, freelancers, drivers, cleaners, creatives. Bookkeeping kept simple, Self Assessment filed early, and a straight answer on what you can claim.
From £35 a month
Year-end accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and dividends done right, with reminders before every deadline instead of a panicked email after it.
From £95 a month
A rental property, a side business next to your day job, a first year that got bigger than planned. One return, everything declared, no drama.
From £150 a year
Switching accountant
Most people stay with an accountant they don't like because switching feels rude. It isn't, and you don't have to do the awkward bit: we do.
A 20-minute call about how you're set up and what you need. You get a fixed fee on the call, in plain numbers, before you decide anything.
We write to your old accountant and HMRC for you. It's a standard professional courtesy and takes about a week. You never have to make the breakup call.
From then on you get reminders before deadlines, answers within one working day, and a fee that stays the one we agreed.
Kind words
They moved everything from our old accountant in a week and the fee has never changed once. I email, they answer the same day, and I have never been billed for asking.Priya, coffee shop owner, Woking
"First year with them they found allowances I didn't know existed. Saved more than the year's fees before Christmas."Dean, electrician, Guildford
"I understand my own accounts now. She went through them line by line with a red pen until it all made sense."Sam, online shop, Knaphill
Self Assessment is due 31 January. If your records are in a carrier bag, that's fine: bring the bag.
Tell us what you do and how you're set up. You'll have a fixed fee in writing within one working day: a number, not an estimate.

How we work
No jargon, no chasing, no bill for asking a question.
Every email and call gets a real answer from a person who knows your accounts, usually the same day.
The number we agree at the start is the number you pay. Reviewed once a year, never mid-year, never as a surprise.
VAT, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax: we chase the dates so you don't have to remember them.
Software
We're set up to work with all of the below, and happy to talk you through switching if you want to.
FAQs
Common, and not a problem. Tell us where things stand and we'll get you current, starting with whatever HMRC deadline is closest.
No. Questions and calls are included in the monthly fee. You'll never see a bill for a five-minute chat.
None, if you don't want it. Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or a shoebox of receipts all work. We'll suggest software once things get complicated enough to need it.
Yes, any time. We write to your old accountant and HMRC to fetch your records, so you don't have to make the awkward call.
