Trades are what we specialise in

Accounts, tax and business support for people who work on site, on the road and in the workshop. We’re part of Buzz Accounting, supporting sole traders and limited companies across the UK.

UK trades and construction

Your trade. Your business. Your accountant.

You might work directly for homeowners, supply other businesses or run a team across several jobs. We’ll get to know how you work and agree the accounting support that fits.

Help with the everyday and the next step.

Keep your accounts, tax returns, bookkeeping and payroll organised. When you want to grow, understand your margins or plan your cash flow, our wider Buzz team can help with management accounts, advice and coaching.

You don’t need to be registered for CIS to work with us. For businesses that are, specialist CIS support is available alongside your other services.

The people behind Buzz

This site is run by Buzz Accounting Ltd. Buzz was started by two people who got tired of the profession's worst habits — the jargon, the once-a-year silence, the surprise bills. It is a bigger team than that now, and the people below are the ones who do the work.

Andy Jackson, co-founder of Buzz

Andy Jackson

Co-founder

Andy is an entrepreneur and operator who has spent his career building better professional-services businesses — practices that run on strong systems and plain-speaking advice rather than billable-hour meters and jargon. He co-founded Buzz to prove an accountancy firm could be genuinely useful to the people it serves, and drove its expansion into an international group spanning the UK and South Africa.

Peter Allen, co-founder and Finance Director of Buzz

Peter Allen

Co-founder & Finance Director

Peter is a seasoned accounting professional with more than 20 years' experience. He built and grew his own accountancy firm organically — client by client, referral by referral — to a substantial recurring fee base, so he understands from the inside what business owners actually need from their accountant. As Buzz's co-founder and Finance Director he sets the quality bar for the group's financial work.

The accounts team

The people who prepare and review the work — the accounts, the tax returns, the CIS and the management figures. Every job is prepared by one of them and reviewed before it goes out.
