Accountants in North London for owners who want the corporation tax bill before it lands and decisions costed first.
A hire, van or bigger premises can expose months of missing advice. Crosby stays involved throughout the year and takes every client call. Meetings are remote by default and in person when helpful.
Egbenn Accountancy supports owner-run businesses across North London with bookkeeping, tax and advice throughout the year. Fees are fixed monthly, and Crosby Enninful ACCA takes every client call.
Plan the payment while there is still time to change the year-end position.
Put salary, PAYE, pension and employer National Insurance against the work already won.
See whether rent, payroll and tax still leave enough cash for the business.
Growth becomes expensive when the answer arrives after the commitment has been made.
“My corporation tax bill landed after I had committed the cash to a van and payroll.”
The payment came from money promised elsewhere. A forecast before year end would have changed the timing.
“I agreed the salary before anyone added PAYE, pension and employer National Insurance.”
The employee cost more each month than the wage suggested. The extra cost reduced the expected margin.
“I signed for the bigger premises before checking whether rent, staff and tax fitted together.”
The lease fixed the cost before the business had tested whether sales could carry it.
What changes once the advice is in the room?
The tax forecast shapes when money is spent. The full employment cost shapes whether an offer goes out. Egbenn puts those answers in place before the owner commits.
Answer three questions about what your current accountant can tell you this week.
Question 1 of 3
Could they tell you today what this year’s corporation tax bill will be?
Could they show the full monthly cost of your next hire?
Could they test whether the bigger premises are affordable before you sign?
The gap affects decisions that cannot easily be reversed. The free growth review is the sensible next step.
Part of the relationship is working as it should. Check the missing area before the next commitment, as the construction company example shows.
Your accountant is covering the decisions that matter. Read the guide on what an accountant should discuss during the year.

If the business is your main income and growth is creating harder decisions, start with the free growth review.
The scope is agreed before work starts. It can cover bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, CIS, year-end accounts, corporation tax and personal tax. Advice on hiring, premises and tax planning can sit within the monthly relationship. Crosby confirms scope and the fixed fee after reviewing the business.
Yes. Most businesses approach Egbenn because their current accountant files the forms but rarely discusses the year ahead. Start with the intake quiz. If there is a fit, Crosby reviews the position. Egbenn can manage the switch, request the information and track upcoming returns.
No. Egbenn first checks the software, bank feeds and bookkeeping process already in place. A setup that keeps VAT, payroll and monthly numbers current may stay. Where a change would help, Crosby explains why and agrees the move before anything is transferred.
Egbenn writes to the outgoing accountant for professional clearance and requests the accounting information needed. Upcoming VAT, payroll, CIS, accounts and tax dates are mapped during the handover. Catch-up work is agreed before it starts, with a discount and one monthly fee set in advance.
Egbenn works remotely by default through cloud bookkeeping, phone calls and video meetings. In-person meetings can be arranged across North London when they help with a decision. The registered office is on Great Portland Street in central London, with clients across Hertfordshire and London.
Egbenn is built for owner-run limited companies and established sole traders where the business is the owner’s main income. Turnover is usually past six figures. The firm often works with construction, garages, salons and agencies. The intake quiz checks fit before the free growth review.
