Accountant for freelancers, small businesses and landlords in Rugby

Local context

Rugby's economy sits on a strong logistics and distribution base, thanks to its position on the M1, M6 and A5, alongside a long-standing engineering heritage. That mix means a lot of the small businesses and sole traders here are either directly in logistics and trades, or supplying and supporting them — and a lot of landlords, given how commutable the town is to Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Northampton and London.

Two deadlines matter most to Rugby-based clients right now: the Companies House identity verification deadline on 18 November 2026 for any limited company director, and Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, which already applies above £50,000 and drops to a £30,000 threshold in April 2027 — relevant to a good number of Rugby's sole traders and landlords.
