Accountaire: a modern remote accounting firm.

The firm works with small and mid-sized businesses in the United Kingdom, United States, United Arab Emirates, Canada and Australia. The company was incorporated on 8 September 2022 under registration number 0210374, trades as Accountaire (SMC-Private) Limited, and delivers bookkeeping, payroll, tax and advisory work on fixed monthly fees.

The traditional accounting model (partners, juniors, hourly time-sheets, quarterly check-ins) wasn't built for businesses that move quickly or work across borders. It produces reports too late to act on, charges by the hour for tasks that should be automated, and locks clients into proprietary systems they don't own.

We started with a different brief. Modern software has gone global, so qualified accountants can serve clients anywhere. Intelligent automation handles the routine, so qualified people can focus on judgment. Service standards are written into the contract, so clients know exactly what they're getting.

The result is a firm that pairs senior, ACCA-qualified accountants with a modern technology stack: delivering bookkeeping, payroll, tax and advisory work that feels, finally, like the rest of the software you use to run your business.

Remote-first is a delivery decision with practical consequences, not a slogan. Your records stay in your own Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent subscription rather than a system we own, so nothing is held hostage if you leave. Work runs to written service levels: books closed by the fifth business day, replies inside four working hours on the tiers where that applies. Fees are published up front on the fixed-fee pricing page rather than quoted on application. The work itself is described service by service in our accounting services directory, and the way we read the rules behind it is on show in the guides we publish on the Accountaire blog.

Each engagement is set out in the complete accounting service list, and country by country for the UK, the US, the UAE, Canada and Australia. The company details below, including the planned UK entity at Companies House, are on the record so you can check them before you engage.

Day to day, an engagement looks like this. One senior accountant owns the relationship and is named in the engagement letter. Work happens in your accounting software, with a shared drive for workpapers and Slack or email for everything else. Month end runs to a fixed sequence, and the pack lands with commentary rather than as a bare export. Questions asked mid-month cost nothing to ask, because nothing here is billed by the hour. If the answer is that you need a specialist we are not, we say so.
