Trust
Compliance
The statutory obligations we help companies stay on top of, how we keep commercial work inside the rules, and what we do not claim about ourselves.
Companies House filings
Statutory, with penalties
A confirmation statement each year, annual accounts by their due date, and event-driven filings when directors, shares, addresses or the registered office change.
What we do · We put every obligation on a dated calendar with a named owner and a reminder that fires before the deadline rather than after it. Late filing penalties are the cheapest thing in business to avoid and one of the most commonly paid.
Corporation Tax
Statutory, with penalties
A return and payment on a timetable that does not line up with the accounts deadline, which is where most companies come unstuck.
What we do · We track the two timetables separately and make sure somebody owns each. We are not tax advisers and we do not act as your agent with HMRC.
VAT and Making Tax Digital
Statutory, digital record-keeping required
Digital records and returns submitted through compatible software, with digital links between the records and the return.
What we do · We have engineered directly against the HMRC Making Tax Digital APIs, including the fraud prevention header requirements, which is documented in full on the Easy Tax Digital portfolio page.
PAYE and real-time information
Statutory, per pay run
A submission on or before each payment to an employee, plus the year-end sequence and any leaver process.
What we do · We make sure the run has an owner and a checklist. We do not run your payroll, and we will say when a payroll bureau or an accountant is the right answer.
UK GDPR
Data protection law
Lawful basis, minimisation, purpose limitation and data subject rights, applying to your customer records and to any prospect list a sales motion depends on.
What we do · Where we build a business development motion, the lawful basis for the prospect data is decided at the start, not once the list already exists.
PECR and outbound marketing
Regulation, with enforcement
Rules on electronic marketing, consent and the corporate subscriber position, which govern what a cold email or call sequence is allowed to do.
What we do · Outbound work we design stays inside these rules by construction. A pipeline that only works if the rules are ignored is not a pipeline we will build for you.
What we produce
The artefacts an engagement leaves behind, and what each one is for. All of them are designed to keep working after we have gone, which means they live in your systems rather than in a document we email you.
| Area | Artefact | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Filing deadlines | Dated obligations calendar with named owners | Every statutory date in one place, with who is accountable for it |
| Decisions | Written decision records with rejected options | Why a choice was made, and what would justify revisiting it |
| Records | Digital records kept where the transaction happens | Bookkeeping that supports the return rather than being reconstructed for it |
| Prospect data | Lawful basis recorded at list creation | Source, basis and suppression handling documented before the first send |
| Handover | Ownership map produced during the Hand over phase | A named person accountable for each obligation after we leave |
The service page for this work is compliance and operations, and it lists what the service does not include.
Bring the person who owns the deadline.
The conversations that go well are the ones where whoever is actually accountable for filing is in the room from the start.
