Fee discipline
Scoped monthly fee, agreed before work starts.
We confirm scope after a 30-minute call because the right fee depends on entity type, bookkeeping quality, VAT, payroll, advisory depth, and deadlines. No hourly billing. No surprise charges. No filing-only shortcut if the records are not clean.

Founder and lead accountant · 16 years in UK practice
Iftikhar founded RR Accountants in 2010 and remains the firm's lead accountant. Fewer clients, published standards, and a single named accountant who knows your situation.
How we work
Three steps. No back-and-forth.
Step 01: 30-minute call
We confirm fit on both sides. If we're right for you, we'll tell you exactly what comes next. If we're not, we'll point you in the right direction.
Step 02: Engagement letter and onboarding
Letter of Engagement, KYC, Direct Debit setup via Adfin, software access, and Compliance Vault™ briefing. Done within 24 hours of verbal confirmation.
Step 03: Year-round through Compliance Vault™
Monthly numbers by the 7th, deadlines tracked, advisory raised before windows close, and an Annual Compliance Review every 12 months.
By design
Not for everyone, and that's the point.
We publicly filter clients. Every prospect goes through a 30-minute call so we can confirm fit before we proceed. The call is the filter, not a formality.
Price-shoppers
If the conversation starts with "what's your cheapest package", we're not the right firm for you.
Grey-area scheme seekers
We don't comment on aggressive arrangements or scheme-based tax positions.
Chronic late record-senders
Compliance Vault™ needs records by the 7th of each month. That's not optional.
"Just file it" clients
We're a compliance and advisory firm. If you want a once-a-year filing service, you'll be happier elsewhere.
Filtering protects the standards. The standards protect the clients who stay.
Every client. Every year.
Annual Compliance Review
Once a year we sit down with every client and check the work still fits the business, and that we kept our side of the engagement letter.
It is the mechanism that turns published standards into operational reality.

Quick answer
What does RR Accountants do?
RR Accountants is a UK compliance and advisory firm for ambitious business owners. We handle annual accounts, corporation tax, Self Assessment, VAT, payroll, bookkeeping, company formation, and advisory support for limited company directors, contractors, landlords, growing businesses, and established SMEs. Every client works through Compliance Vault™, our three-part system for Evidence Pack records, Deadline Lock filing control, and Portfolio Reporting Pack monthly visibility. RR Accountants was founded by Iftikhar ur Rashid in 2010 and now serves clients nationwide through online delivery and nine UK offices. We publish service standards, complete an Annual Compliance Review, and filter out poor-fit enquiries before engagement. The first step is a 30-minute call, where we confirm whether we are a fit, explain the next step in writing, and set the scope before any work starts. That means the same standards-led process whether you are filing late, switching accountant, preparing for MTD, or planning growth.
