White-Label Accounting for Firms in the United Kingdom

We become your invisible back office so you can take on more clients without more hiring risk. Delivered to FRS 102 / UK GAAP for UK businesses, priced in GBP.

Why UK businesses choose Salt

UK practices use us for the production layer: bookkeeping, quarterly VAT preparation under MTD, and FRS 102 accounts and CT600 workpapers assembled ready for review. Your firm keeps the client relationship, the HMRC agent authorisation and the submission. We work inside your Xero or practice-management environment under your client codes, and we are never client-facing.

For CPA, tax and accounting firms that are short-staffed: pre-vetted accountants work inside your clients' systems under your brand. You own the relationship; we do the heavy lifting — fractional resources, full-time equivalents in your time zone, and seasonal tax-prep capacity.

Standards and authorities

The framework your United Kingdom accounts are held to.

We prepare to UK GAAP (FRS 102) or IFRS, as adopted. These are the bodies that set that framework and the authorities you file with — linked so you can verify the standard rather than take our word for it.

Listed for reference. Salt Accounting Group is not stating membership, registration or affiliation with any of these organisations. Where a filing must be lodged by a registered local agent, it is — your agent keeps the lodgement and the professional sign-off.
