Who we help

SMEs

Whether you’re an owner managed business or an established company with your own in-house finance team, your business will thrive with LKA’s friendly, responsive, and straightforward accountancy and tax support. We work closely with you to be seen as trusted business partners, nurturing long-term professional relationships with our clients.

Landlords / property owners

With extensive experience supporting property management companies and landlords, LKA are well-equipped to deliver a proactive and efficient approach to managing your accounts and tax related matters.

Startups / growth businesses

When starting out in your new business it is essential to take the right advice from qualified professionals who have as much experience as we do in launching new ventures. We can guide you quickly in the best choice of structure and key matters you need to consider for your new venture.

Private individuals

Our trusted team of tax advisors can help with complex tax planning and compliance issues including inheritance tax, capital gains tax, UK tax advice and UK self-assessment - providing professional, specialist advice that’s simple to understand.

Freelancers / consultants

Operating on your own as either a sole trader or via a limited company can be a lonely job. You often also need a lot more from your accountant that just the year end tax return. LKA provides tailored accounting services that allow you to run your business knowing you are making the right financial decisions ahead of time, with the right support when you need it.

What differentiates us?

Female pioneers

LKA was born with the aim to raise the profile of female accountants and to change the perception of SME accountants to be seen as trusted business partners – nurturing long term professional relationships with our clients.

 

Our largely female team is close knit, professionally high-achieving, positive, and hugely knowledgeable about small business and private individual tax advice. Founded in 2012 by Laura Kenyon, the company has grown rapidly but still embraces flexible-working in our over 18 strong workforce.

Small but powerful

Our team may be small, but it is incredibly powerful, and we are anchored at the centre of our client journey.

 

Being small enables us to have real hands-on contact with all our clients and means we can be quick to react, provide advice and modify our service offerings in a constantly changing economic environment.

 

Our staff are professional, high calibre individuals from commercial backgrounds who work hard to build strong relationships with our clients. Over 40% of our team are in professional training and we don’t outsource nor offshore any services.

A balanced approach

In a digital age we strive to balance technology and the human connection. Embracing technology offers our clients an efficient, cost-effective service but we know our clients appreciate the measures we have put in place to build strong working relationships.

 

All clients have a named point of contact, and we always encourage in person meetings. By getting to know our clients as people and focusing on the human and personal impacts of our advice, we can not only make practical suggestions to enhance their business dealings and profit margins, but that also have a positive impact on their personal lives

How We Support SME Owners

We know that running a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) comes with many challenges. As an SME, your focus is on running your business, not spending time getting distracted with bookkeeping and other financial requirements.

LKA’s expert team offers friendly, straightforward accountancy and taxation support to help SMEs thrive. We standout from our competitors by transforming people’s relationships with their accountants.
