What we see most in Eastleigh
Eastleigh grew up around the railway works and still has an engineering and logistics backbone, with Southampton Airport, the M27 and the M3 all on the doorstep. Add Chandler's Ford's offices, the trades spread across Hedge End, Fair Oak and Bishopstoke, and you get a very particular set of accounting needs.
- Builders, electricians and trades CIS deductions, subcontractor verification and the VAT domestic reverse charge.
- Engineering and logistics firms Payroll for shift and overtime patterns, vehicle costs and capital allowances on plant and equipment.
- Office-based companies in Chandler's Ford Management accounts, VAT and director pay planned for the whole year, not just at year-end.

If your business runs vans, kit or a workshop, we make sure the capital allowances, mileage and fuel costs are claimed, because that's often where Eastleigh businesses are leaving money on the table.
