Online accountants for small business,
built for ambitious owners.
Accountaire is a remote firm of online accountants for small business owners in the United Kingdom, United States, United Arab Emirates, Canada and Australia. We keep the books, run the payroll, file the tax returns and close each month by the fifth business day, on a fixed monthly fee.
What online accountants for small business should deliver.
Those five markets are served by one team working to one process. The monthly cycle splits into cloud bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, GST and tax compliance and monthly management accounts, and the rest is set out in our accounting services directory. Guides to the filings behind each one are collected on the Accountaire blog.
The filing regimes behind that work are HMRC and Making Tax Digital in the UK, the IRS and state sales tax in the US, the Federal Tax Authority in the UAE, the Canada Revenue Agency and the Australian Taxation Office. Accounts are prepared under UK GAAP, US GAAP or IFRS, depending on what your entity reports on. Company filings in the UK go to Companies House.
We don't think small businesses should settle for slow, opaque accounting. So we built a firm that runs on modern infrastructure, employs only qualified professionals, and reports on a cadence operators can actually use.
An ACCA-qualified team, every engagement.
You work with chartered professionals, not template-driven juniors. Each engagement is led by a senior accountant whose name and credentials are on file.
Books closed by the 5th.
A five-business-day month-end SLA, written into every engagement letter. Your monthly pack arrives when operators actually need it, not three weeks late.
A 4-hour reply SLA, during your day.
Slack, email, Loom, Zoom: whichever fits your workflow. Working hours that overlap yours.
AI does the rote work.
OCR, categorisation, anomaly detection. Your accountants spend their time on judgment and advisory.
SOC 2 tools. GDPR contracts.
Multi-factor authentication enforced. Cyber-liability insured. Your data lives in your own cloud, not ours.
A full finance function for ambitious businesses.
From day-to-day bookkeeping to board-ready advisory. Pick the services you need, billed once a month, with a dedicated accountant as your point of contact.

The kind of partner founders refer.
"Our previous firm took ten working days to close the month. Accountaire delivers the same pack by the third, and our reporting is finally something the leadership team actually reads."
"The ACCA credentials, the SOC 2 tooling, the 4-hour SLA, every concern I had about working with a remote team got answered before I even raised it. They're now embedded in our finance function."
"We needed someone who understood FTA VAT and IFRS reporting without us having to micromanage. Monthly pack lands on the 4th, every month. That alone made the switch worth it."
"They took on a year of unreconciled Xero, cleaned it up in six weeks, filed the back VAT returns and put us on a proper monthly cadence. Faultless execution."
Modern tools.
Established standards.
We work in the software you already use, and stay current with the regulations that matter in your jurisdiction.
