Accounting, explained properly
Tax and accounts have a reputation for being complicated, and the way they’re usually written about doesn’t help. I’m Talha Sohail, an ACCA-qualified accountant from Bury, and this site is where I explain the essentials the way I’d explain them across a table: what the rules actually mean, which deadlines genuinely matter, and where people most often go wrong.
Everything here is written in plain English, for real people — the self-employed, landlords, directors of small companies — not for other accountants.
What I write about
Company accounts & corporation tax
What year-end accounts are for, the Companies House and HMRC deadlines for small companies, and how to read your own numbers.
The dates that matter
The recurring UK tax deadlines, gathered in one place and explained — see the deadlines page for the full list.
