Family-run since 2011, based in Helston, Cornwall.
We’re Kernow Accountancy, a small, family-run firm based in Helston since 2011. Trading for 15 plus years, we’ve been the knowledgeable friend in the corner for sole traders, landlords and small businesses across Cornwall. We do the tax stuff, the bookkeeping, the deadlines and the digital set-up, but we do it in plain English, with a smile, and always with your best interests at heart.
Why we’re MTD specialists.
Making Tax Digital is changing how thousands of Cornish businesses report to HMRC. We saw it coming, got our heads around the software and the timelines, and made it our job to make the transition painless for our clients.
Read our plain-English MTD guide- We’ve been preparing for Making Tax Digital since it was first announced.
- We help sole traders and landlords choose, set up and use the right software.
- Quarterly updates, year-end finalisation and HMRC letters, all handled.
- We explain it in plain English, so you always know what’s happening and why.
A small business accountant in Helston, family-run since 2011
Being a small business accountant Helston people can pop in and see matters to us. Trading for 15 plus years, we’ve grown up alongside our clients: the builders, hairdressers, cafés, landlords and start-ups who keep Cornwall going, and we still answer the phone ourselves.
What we believe in.
These four things guide everything we do, from the way we answer the phone to the way we prepare your accounts.
People first
You’re not a number to us. We take time to understand your business, your worries and your goals; then we look after you properly.
Plain English
Tax has enough jargon already. We explain things clearly, answer silly questions gladly, and never make you feel out of your depth.
Always on time
Deadlines matter. We plan ahead, keep your records up to date, and make sure HMRC gets what they need, before they need it.
Rooted in Cornwall
We’re based in Helston and proud to serve businesses right across Cornwall. Local knowledge, local relationships, local pride.
Trusted by Cornwall.
