About
A modern firm, technically rigorous.
Holloway Davies works with UK business owners across every sector. We cover the four trading structures (limited company, sole trader, contractor, partnership), with the depth a specialist firm would bring and the responsiveness an in-house team would expect.
What we believe
Four operating principles.
Compliance is table stakes.
Filing year-end accounts on time is the floor, not the ceiling. The work that pays for itself is the advisory that sits on top: pay structures, scheme selection, capital allowances, R&D claims, succession planning, exit timing. We bill for that work, not for filing.
Technical standards, plainly.
Every answer we give is traceable to a primary source: HMRC guidance, Companies House rules, or the relevant statute. One named accountant on every file means the reasoning doesn’t get diluted through handoffs or junior routing.
One named accountant.
You speak to the same accountant every time. No call-centre routing, no junior handoffs. Fixed fees agreed up front in writing, no surprises, no hourly billing on questions.
Cloud-first, country-wide.
Xero, FreeAgent or QuickBooks depending on what you already use. Everything else runs on email and scheduled calls. Local presence has stopped mattering for accounting; competence and responsiveness haven’t.
In short
Who, where, how, why.
Who
Limited company directors, contractors and freelancers, sole traders, and partnerships across every UK sector. See what we cover.
Where
Nationwide. Cloud-first delivery means London, Leeds, Glasgow and Bristol clients get the same response time.
How
Annual cycle of bookkeeping handover, quarterly VAT where relevant, monthly payroll, year-end, plus a planning conversation that sits outside the compliance cycle.
Why
Most UK firms compete on price. The ones worth hiring compete on the cost of the advice you didn’t get.
Editorial
On what you read here.
Every figure is dated and sourced
Every figure on this site uses 2026/27 UK tax rates and is traceable to a primary source: HMRC, Companies House, or the relevant statute. Where rates are scheduled to change, we say so and date the change.
Articles are editorial, not advice
They explain mechanics; they don’t apply them to your specific circumstances. For advice that fits, book a call. There’s no pitch and no obligation; if we’re not a fit we’ll say so quickly.
Corrections are welcome
Found a mistake, an out-of-date figure or an unclear paragraph? Contact the editorial team and we’ll fix it.
