Clarkwell & Co Chartered Certified Accountants

About Clarkwell & Co Chartered Certified Accountants

This Islington practice of chartered certified accountants serves start-ups, owner-managed companies, contractors and landlords in London for a fixed monthly fee, and is regulated by the ACCA. Alongside routine compliance it runs a business start-up arm: choosing a name and legal form, incorporating with Companies House, registering for VAT and guiding the opening of a bank account, with a same-day option. The website also refers to forming a UK company as a non-resident, and the firm lists UK visa and immigration advice among its services, which suggests some work for overseas founders. Sector pages cover online sellers, construction and property, healthcare locums, media and creative businesses, hospitality and crypto holders. Specialist tax work includes SEIS and EIS applications, share transfers, penalty appeals and HMRC investigations. Staff work on Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent. Only English is used on the site, and prices are quoted on request.
