Affordable, Expert Property Accountants
As a private landlord or property investor, you’re operating in an increasingly complex sector. We understand that being a landlord can be very stressful! Legislative changes are coming thick and fast and complying with new regulations, including those relating to energy efficiency or safety requirements such as fitting carbon monoxide detectors in your properties, can be an unwanted but necessary headache.
Other challenges can soon mount up. Maybe you’re having to deal with problem tenants and paying to repair property damage, or late rent payments mean you’re having to pay a mortgage out of your own funds. This can all add up to place an increased demand on your time, not to mention increased cost.

Property Accountants for Commercial & Residential
At Gorilla Accounting, we work with both residential and commercial landlords and, as expert property accountants, we help people with a wide variety of portfolio sizes. To ensure you get the best value, we have a tiered pricing structure depending how many properties you own, and we also tailor our services to your specific needs.
Whether you have a single property or own several and are looking to keep investing to build your portfolio, you’ll continue to benefit from our accounting packages as our service scales with you.
Residential Buy-To-Let Landlords
As buy-to-let accountants, we often work with individuals who own between 10 to 15 residential properties, but this doesn’t mean we can’t help if your portfolio is smaller or bigger than this.
Commercial Landlords
Many of our clients invest in commercial properties instead of residential. If this is your situation, you can be confident that we’ll help you manage your portfolio just as efficiently and effectively.
Expert service, guaranteed
How our landlord Accountancy Services can help you
There are many things to consider when you’re a landlord. Things can quickly become overwhelming even if you already have an existing portfolio.
The day-to-day running of your business can take up a lot of your time, so the last thing you want is to have to focus on managing your accounts as well. Not to mention how daunting it can be to ensure all your documentation and tax returns are correct when submitting to HMRC. The last thing you want is any penalties or fines.
This is where Gorilla Accounting comes in. As expert accountants for residential and commercial landlords, we offer unlimited support and advice every step of the way. For example, you’ll want to decide which of your properties is your main residence if you own more than one home, and you must also handle the sale of any property correctly, which means taking tax into account too.
Landlords & Buy-To-Let Package - What’s Included:
Full access to FreeAgent Bookkeeping Tool
FreeAgent accounting software is included in your monthly fee – its functionality and comprehensive automation increases efficiency and makes accounting a breeze.
Preparation & Submission of Financial Statements
We’ll help you prepare and submit all your financial paperwork accurately and on time.
Preparation & Submission of Corporation Tax Return
If you operate as a limited company, you must submit a corporation tax return, which we can help with – we also ensure that all information on the return is accurate.
Preparation & Submission of Quarterly VAT Returns
If you require it, we can help with your VAT returns. You don’t have to register for VAT if your annual VAT taxable turnover is under £90,000, but you may register voluntarily if you wish.
Preparation & Submission of Payroll
As your business grows, you’re likely to hire staff to help. It can be challenging having to deal with payroll, but this is where Gorilla Accounting comes in. As part of your fee, we can help you prepare and submit payroll for up to 2 employees.
Preparation & Submission of P11d
We can help with your P11d form which details expenses and benefits paid to company directors and staff who haven’t been subject to PAYE.
Preparation of One Self-Assessment Tax Return
When starting out in the buy-to-let industry, a sole trader model is preferable because it allows landlords to figure out whether they want to continue down that path. Sole Traders must submit a self-assessment tax return to HMRC, which we can help you with. We’ll make sure all information is pertinent, correct and sent in a timely manner.
Assistance With HMRC Records Checks
HMRC may check on how you keep your records. If they decide to do this, you will usually be contacted by letter. It’s important that you keep records accurately in order to submit your tax returns correctly and pay the right amount of tax and avoid any issues or penalties. If you’ve been contacted for a records check, we can help ensure that your paperwork is in order.
Preparation of Companies House Confirmation Statements
Limited companies must file confirmation statements at least once a year. Gorilla Accounting can assist by preparing the statements for you ensuring the information about your company is up-to-date.
Assistance with Share Issues or Transfers and Changes of Particulars
Dealing with share issues, transfers and changes of particulars can be very time consuming, especially if you’ve never done it before. You can count on us to handle it for you.
Dividend and Board Minute Documentation
As owner of your limited company, you’re entitled to draw dividends from your business. When companies distribute dividends, they need to produce board meeting minutes as well – if you’re unsure about what to do, we can help.
