Contracts written to be understood

Commercial contracts, employment documents, IP and corporate filings — drafted in plain English and reviewed before you sign.

A contract nobody can read is a contract nobody follows

A contract nobody in the business can read is a contract nobody follows. The obligations sit in a drawer, and the first time anyone reads it properly is during a dispute.

We draft in plain English wherever the law allows, and where it does not, we tell you in a covering note what the clause actually means and where the risk sits. You should be able to brief your own team from it.

Who this is for

If one of these sounds like your situation, it is worth a conversation.

Trading on a template from the internet

Downloaded, lightly edited, and never tested against your actual arrangement.

Signing customer paper unread

Large clients send their terms and nobody has capacity to review them.

IP not assigned

Work done by contractors without written assignment. This surfaces during diligence.

How we work

Boring, in the way you want your accountant to be boring.

Deadlines tracked, not remembered

Every filing date for your entity is in a calendar we own. You get reminded well before it matters.

Books closed monthly

Reconciled within ten working days, so the numbers you make decisions on are this month's rather than last quarter's.

A named person who answers

Not a ticket queue. You should know who does your work and be able to ring them.

Plain answers on tax

What is allowed, what is aggressive, and where the line is. We will not put you somewhere we would not stand ourselves.

What we commit to

What we commit to

  • A fixed monthly fee agreed in advance — no billing by the hour for a phone call
  • Filings submitted ahead of the deadline, not on the day
  • Management accounts within ten working days of month end
  • We tell you about a problem when we find it, not at the year end
  • Your records handed over in full and without argument if you leave
How we take over

How we take over

Moving adviser is the part people dread. It takes about a month.

Review

We look at the current position, filings, and anything outstanding. You get a written summary of what we found, including bad news.

Transition

Records, access and authorisations moved across, with your previous adviser handled professionally. Nothing lapses in between.

First close

The first monthly close under our process, and the first set of accounts you can actually use to make a decision.

Steady state

Monthly management accounts, filings ahead of deadline, and a quarterly conversation about what the numbers are telling you.

Common questions

That is the intent. We draft in plain English wherever the law allows, and where it does not, a covering note explains what the clause means and where the risk sits.

Yes, with the clauses that actually matter flagged plainly rather than a marked-up document you still have to interpret.

Only with written assignment, and its absence is one of the most common findings in diligence. It is straightforward to fix now and expensive to fix later.
