Sue explains, "The majority of my clients are sole traders, partnerships and small limited companies. I work behind the scenes, helping to keep their business running so that they can focus on the aspects that they enjoy and make money. "Suzanne Lock Business Services began when I realised that my customers didn't just need an accountant and bookkeeper; small business owners are expected to be jack of all trades! I started helping friends and associates and soon realised that there was a market for the extra services I provide. "The business has grown purely through word of mouth recommendations, and I now have clients based in Colchester, Ipswich and even Norfolk and all over Essex

Thought we would give you a little peek behind the curtain today!

Between processing payrolls, reviewing VAT returns and answering client questions, Bailey the pug usually manages to cause at least one distraction before lunch.

We genuinely love what we do. Helping small business owners feel on top of their finances is why we started this business.

Calling all landlords! Do you know all your tax obligations?

Even if you pay tax through a regular job, rental income still needs to go on a self assessment tax return. And there are allowable expenses you can claim to reduce your bill.

With Making Tax Digital coming for landlords from April 2026, now is a great time to get organised.

Are you a landlord wondering if you are getting this right? Drop us a message or ask below!

Have you heard about Making Tax Digital (MTD)? It is a big change coming from HMRC that will affect thousands of self-employed people and landlords.

Instead of one tax return a year, you will need to submit quarterly digital updates using HMRC-approved software. If your income is over 50,000 pounds, it affects you from April 2026.

Not sure where to start? We have got you covered. Drop us a message and we will explain exactly what it means for you.

Quick tax tip for all the sole traders and freelancers out there!

Did you know you can claim your accountancy fees as a business expense? Along with home office costs, mileage, professional memberships and marketing spend.

Every legitimate expense you claim reduces your taxable profit, which means a lower tax bill. Brilliant, right?

Are you claiming everything you are entitled to? Let us know in the comments or send us a message!
