Every business journey deserves personal support.
First steps or established company, what unites our clients isn't their size or sector. It's the personal attention they get, and the worry they no longer carry.

Whatever shape your business is, we’ve sat in your chair.
Sole Traders
Starting out on your own? We guide you through registration, expenses, record-keeping and growth, in plain English, never jargon.
What they tell us
- “Which expenses can I actually claim?”
- “When do I need to register for VAT?”
- “How do I keep proper records?”
- “What if I fall behind on tax?”
How we help
- We explain the expense rules simply and help you claim every legitimate deduction.
- We watch your income and tell you the moment VAT registration works in your favour.
- We set up record-keeping you'll actually use.
- We arrange payment plans and talk to HMRC for you.
“I started with just freelance work. RCI helped me understand expenses and save thousands. Now they're guiding me through incorporating.”
Limited Companies
A limited company means real compliance and real opportunity. We carry the complexity so you can concentrate on growth.
What they tell us
- “Corporation tax is more complex than I expected.”
- “Salary or dividends: what's right for me?”
- “Companies House filings confuse me.”
- “How do I plan for growth?”
How we help
- We calculate corporation tax and claim every relief and credit available.
- We optimise how you pay yourself to minimise the overall tax.
- We prepare and file every Companies House requirement automatically.
- We build forecasts and plans that support your next move.
“We needed investment. RCI prepared accounts and forecasts that impressed the bank, and we got the funding for our expansion.”
Partnerships
Partnerships need careful, even-handed attention. We make the accounting clear and fair for everyone at the table.
What they tell us
- “How do we split profits fairly?”
- “What happens when a partner joins or leaves?”
- “How do we handle different contributions?”
- “What are our individual tax obligations?”
How we help
- We build clear profit-sharing agreements and calculate distributions accurately.
- We handle the documentation and tax of every partnership change.
- We design systems that reflect different capital and work levels.
- We prepare each partner's personal tax and coordinate the returns.
“Three doctors, three income levels. RCI built a fair profit-sharing system everyone understood and agreed with.”
