📬 Had a letter from Companies House that’s made your heart sink?

You’re not the only one!

Companies House has started sending letters to some Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) as part of the new identity verification rules under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act.

The letters can look quite scary, mentioning deadlines, offences and fines, but in most cases they’re simply reminding you that your identity needs to be verified.

Who’s a PSC?
A PSC is someone who owns or controls a company. This is often:
✔️ A shareholder who owns more than 25% of the shares
✔️ Someone with more than 25% of the voting rights
✔️ Someone who has significant influence or control over the company

If that’s you, don’t ignore the letter—but don’t panic either.

If you’re not sure:
💚 Whether you need to verify your identity
💚 What the letter actually means
💚 What you need to do next
💚 Or whether it applies to you at all…

Just get in touch. I’d much rather answer a quick question than have you worrying about it or missing something important.

At West Surrey Accountants, I keep things simple, explain everything in plain English and help you get it sorted without all the jargon.

I had every intention of doing some work today…

Then this little ball of fluff fell asleep on me. 🥹🐾

I’m now legally obliged to stay exactly where I am until further notice. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. 💚

Sometimes your biggest win has nothing to do with business. 💚

People often talk about their biggest win of the day, week or month. The truth is, success looks different for everyone.

Today, mine wasn’t a new client or hitting a deadline.

It was getting my daughter to a holiday club for the first time in over a year.

She finds change incredibly difficult, so the school holidays are something I usually work around. Today was different.

It wasn’t easy. We could both feel the anxiety. There were some really tough moments.

But she did it. ❤️

I couldn’t be prouder of how brave she was.

Because of that one huge step for her, I get to spend today supporting my wonderful clients and catching up on work that had been waiting.

A reminder that everyone’s battles are different, and everyone’s wins deserve celebrating.

What’s been your biggest win recently? 👇

Photoshoot nerves? Me? Never!! 😲🤣
Well, not after spending some time with the lovely this morning, getting some new photos for my socials!

We finished up on Epsom Downs so I took the opportunity for a stroll with Lexi, my faithful frolicking friend 🐕, before heading back to the office to get on with some serious business.

The weekend is approaching if you don’t want to spend it looking at the books, self-assessment returns or any other kinds of accounts, then reach out to me and let me do them for you! Put the Joy back into your weekends!! 💚☀️💚

🚨 Self-employed? This is one check you don’t want to miss!

Did you know that around 800,000 self-employed people could have gaps in their National Insurance record due to historic HMRC administrative issues? 😮

If you were self-employed between 2015/16 and 2023/24, it’s worth checking your National Insurance record.

Why? 👇

✅ Missing qualifying years could affect your State Pension.
✅ HMRC is contacting those they believe are affected.
✅ You may be able to fill historic gaps, even if they’re older than the usual time limits.

💚 Don’t wait for a letter if you’re unsure. A quick check now could make a real difference to your retirement income later.

If you’d like help understanding whether this could affect you, feel free to get in touch.

Sunday Funday… or Sunday Finance Day? 🤔

Are you stuck in the office this weekend trying to get on top of your bookkeeping?

Let me take care of your bookkeeping, VAT returns, accounts and tax, so you can spend your weekends doing what they’re meant for… making memories, relaxing, and enjoying time with the people who matter most.

Some acts of kindness come along at exactly the right time, and this was one of them. 💚

A huge thank you to Sian at .

When Hannah and I were having a really difficult time, Sian very generously gifted us one of her beautiful art packs and let Hannah choose the one she wanted. It may seem like a small gesture, but it meant so much more than she could ever know.

What was shaping up to be a really tough weekend became one filled with laughter, creativity and precious time together. Instead of dwelling on everything that was going on around us, we had something positive to focus on and something we could do side by side.

I haven’t painted since high school and, if I’m honest, I never even enjoyed it back then! But this… I had SOOOO much fun! 🎨

I’m so proud of what we created together, but even more grateful for the kindness behind it. It reminded me that sometimes the simplest acts of generosity can make the biggest difference to someone’s life.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift, a mindful activity, or just something a little different to do with family or friends, please go and support . Not only does Sian create beautiful art experiences, but she’s also one of the kindest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

Thank you, Sian. We’ll never forget what your kindness gave us that weekend. 💚💚💚
