Glasgow Office & UK-Wide Advisory

Our Accounting & Tax Services in Glasgow

QA FinTax is a firm of accountants and tax advisors in Glasgow, serving sole traders, limited companies and landlords across the UK. Our services fall into four areas — tax advisory, accounting, planning & advisory, and payroll & secretarial — all on fixed monthly fees, filed on time with HMRC and Companies House.

Most accountants send you a bill once a year and a tax return you cannot question. We work the other way round. We keep your records current every month, tell you what you owe long before it is due, and look for legitimate ways to reduce the bill while there is still time to act. You get a named adviser you can phone, and a fee you agreed in advance.

Who Are These Services For?

We work with owner-managed businesses, not corporate finance departments. If you are a Glasgow sole trader who dreads January, a limited company director who wants a smaller corporation tax bill, or a landlord trying to work out what Section 24 has done to your margins, these services were built for you.

Sole traders & freelancers

Self assessment, MTD-ready digital records, and quarterly tax estimates so nothing lands as a shock.

Limited companies

Statutory accounts, CT600 corporation tax, payroll and a salary/dividend split that actually suits your profits.

Landlords & property investors

SA105 property schedules, Section 24 interest planning, and 60-day capital gains reporting on disposals.

Contractors & construction

CIS returns, subcontractor verification, and reclaiming the tax that gets over-deducted at source.
