Your time back
Bookkeeping, tax returns and Companies House forms take hours you could spend on customers, your team or yourself. Once we’re on board, the work splits like this.
Shown for a limited company. Sole traders and partnerships get the filings that apply to them.
See every service in detailThe numbers
Your year-end accounts tell you what happened. These tell you why. On Growth and Strategic, your management accounts track the ones that matter for your business, explained in plain English.
What the business really made once every cost is counted, not just what landed in the bank.
When money comes in and goes out, so a quiet month or a big bill doesn't catch you out.
How much of the money in your account is really owed to HMRC, so tax bills don't come as a surprise.
How much you can safely take out of the business without leaving it short.
What's left from each sale once its direct costs come out, so you can see which work really pays.
Who owes you, how much, and how long they're taking to pay.

Who you’ll work with
Keiran founded Aethon after working across several small-town accountancy practices with hundreds of small businesses. The pattern he saw most often was owners running on a feeling about how the business was doing, rather than the real numbers, and that feeling was often wrong in both directions.
“You didn’t start your business to become a bookkeeper. You do what you’re good at, and I’ll do what I’m good at.”

Book a free callYou let your current accountant know you're moving, and we handle the rest: the professional clearance letter, getting your records across, and moving your HMRC agent authorisations over. If your current accountant has a notice period, we'll plan the switch around it so nothing falls through the gap.
One fixed monthly fee, agreed before we start. It's based on the size of your business and what you need from us, not on hours. There's no joining fee and no exit fee. Software setup, like moving you onto Xero, is quoted upfront if you need it. Anything extra, like catching up a backlog, is agreed before we start. We review your fee with you every six months, so it follows your business in both directions. If you pay for the year upfront, your fee is fixed for that whole year.
Owner-run UK businesses that want to understand their numbers, not just file them: limited companies, sole traders and partnerships, from their first year of trading onwards. We also run a dedicated service for SaaS and software businesses.
On our monthly plans, you can leave by giving three months' notice, and there's no exit fee. New business offers and pay-yearly plans cover the period you've paid for, and your proposal sets out the terms. Whenever you leave, we'll hand everything over properly so your next accountant can pick up cleanly.
We work in Xero and QuickBooks. If you already use one, we'll work in yours. If you're on spreadsheets or something else, Keiran can move you onto cloud accounting as a quoted extra, with bank feeds and a receipt app set up so most of your transactions reach us without you sending anything.
A regular report showing your profit, your cash and the numbers that matter for your business, with a plain-English explanation of what it means. They're included in Growth and Strategic, monthly or quarterly depending on what you need. If you only need your filing done, Essentials covers that.
You'll have a named accountant and a secure client portal, where you can ask as many questions as you like at no extra cost. You'll also have review meetings through the year. If you'd like us to research and set something up for you, we'll quote it first.
No. We're based in Bradford and work online with businesses across the UK, so it doesn't matter where you are.
