Your numbers,finally in focus.
Finovra is an accounting and finance practice built on automation. Bookkeeping, VAT, management accounts and tax — handled continuously in the background, and explained to you in plain English.
Eight things, done properly.
We'd rather be excellent at a focused set of services than average across everything.
Bookkeeping & reconciliation
Bank feeds, receipt capture and coding running continuously — so your accounts are current every week, not reconstructed in a panic every quarter.
VAT returns & Making Tax Digital
Prepared, reviewed and filed under MTD. We flag your deadline before HMRC does, and we tell you what you owe with enough notice to plan for it.
Payroll & auto-enrolment
RTI submissions, payslips, pension auto-enrolment and starters and leavers — run to your pay date, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, without you chasing us for it.
Management accounts
A monthly pack: profit, cash position, and the three numbers that actually move your business — walked through with you on a short call.
Financial statement preparation
Full accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies — prepared to the applicable reporting standard, whether they're for HMRC, your shareholders, a lender or a mortgage application.
Year-end accounts & corporation tax
Statutory accounts and your CT600 filed with Companies House and HMRC, on time, with no last-minute requests for paperwork you filed away in March.
Tax planning & advisory
Structure, salary and dividend planning, allowances and reliefs — reviewed before your year end, while it can still change the outcome.
Finance automation
We connect your bank, invoicing, payments and admin so your data flows once and arrives correct. This is the part most practices don't do.
Most of your admin shouldn't need a human.
Traditional practices bill you for hours spent chasing receipts and re-typing bank statements. We automate that work away, then spend the time we've saved on the part that actually needs judgement — your tax position, your margins, your cash.
- Nothing gets chased twiceReceipts, invoices and statements arrive automatically from the source.
- Errors caught in days, not monthsContinuous reconciliation means a mistake surfaces while it's still cheap to fix.
- You keep every system you ownWe connect to what you already use rather than forcing a migration.
Illustrative client workflow
Switching is the easy part.
Changing accountant feels like a hassle. In practice you send one email and we handle the rest.
A free 20-minute review
We look at where you are, what's costing you time, and where you're likely overpaying. You leave with a written summary whether or not you work with us.
Setup and migration
We request professional clearance from your current accountant, move your records, connect your bank feeds and agree a fixed fee. Typically inside 48 hours.
Run and report
Deadlines handled quietly in the background. A monthly numbers pack, and one named accountant who answers you within a working day.
Priced for your business, not a package.
No two businesses have the same volume, complexity or mess to clean up — so we don't pretend three tiers can cover it. Your fee is quoted after the free review, in writing, and it doesn't move unless your business does.
Fixed and agreed upfront
A single monthly figure covering everything in your scope. You know the cost before you commit.
Never billed by the hour
You should be able to ask us a question without watching a clock. Calls and emails are included.
No surprise invoices
If something falls outside your scope we quote it first and you decide. Nothing appears on a bill unannounced.
Before you get in touch.
Do I need to be in Manchester?+
No. We're Manchester-based and happy to meet in person, but everything works remotely — most correspondence is email, video call and a shared portal.
How do I leave my current accountant?+
You send them one short email saying you're moving. We request professional clearance and handle the record transfer directly with them. You don't need to manage any of the awkward part.
What software do you work with?+
Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent, plus receipt capture and automation tools on top. If you're already on one of these we'll work in it rather than move you.
My books are a mess. Is that a problem?+
It's extremely common and it's not a problem. We'll tell you at the free review what the catch-up work involves and quote it separately, so there's no open-ended bill.
Are you regulated and insured?+
Yes — we're supervised for anti-money-laundering purposes, registered with the Information Commissioner's Office, and carry professional indemnity insurance. Details available on request.
Can you run our payroll?+
Yes. RTI submissions to HMRC, payslips, pension auto-enrolment and starters and leavers, run to your pay date — weekly, fortnightly or monthly. If you're moving from another provider we'll handle the transfer of your payroll records.
Find out what you're overpaying.
Twenty minutes, a straight answer, and a written fixed quote. Nothing to prepare — just bring your last set of accounts if you have them.
