Portfolio Reporting & Planning

Regular financial reports comparing actual performance to budget, helping you plan for growth or refinancing.

How we support property investors and landlords

If you own rental property in Cardiff, Penarth, Barry or anywhere across South Wales, keeping on top of the accounts can quickly become a full-time job. We work with landlords managing everything from a single buy-to-let to portfolios of twenty properties or more, handling the bookkeeping, tax compliance and reporting so you can concentrate on tenants and maintenance.

Our process starts with understanding your portfolio: how many properties you own, whether you operate as a sole trader or through a limited company, and what your plans are for the next few years. We then set up cloud accounting software (and train you to use it if needed), record all rental income and expenses, reconcile your bank accounts monthly, and produce regular financial reports that show exactly how each property is performing.

We make sure you claim every allowable deduction and never miss an HMRC deadline.

More information

Many landlords come to us because they are unsure whether they are paying too much tax, or because their previous accountant did not specialise in property and missed opportunities like capital allowances on fixtures and fittings. We review your portfolio structure, advise on whether a limited company SPV makes sense for your situation, and help you plan for capital gains tax if you are thinking of selling.

What's included

  • Monthly recording of rental income, mortgage interest, repairs, agent fees and all property expenses
  • Bank reconciliations and variance-to-budget reporting
  • Annual accounts and self-assessment or corporation tax returns
  • Advice on tax-efficient structuring, including property SPVs and inheritance tax planning
  • Support with finance raising, remortgaging and portfolio growth decisions

Cardiff's rental market has grown steadily over the past decade, with more landlords buying in Cathays, Roath, Grangetown and the suburbs as student numbers and young professionals increase. We understand the local landscape, from HMO licensing rules to typical yields in different postcodes, and we have worked with clients expanding into Newport, Bridgend and the Valleys.

Whether you are a first-time landlord with a single property or an experienced investor planning your next acquisition, we are here to keep your accounts accurate, your tax bill as low as legally possible, and your financial reporting clear and actionable.

Before you book

Here are the questions we hear most often from landlords and property investors in Cardiff and South Wales.

Do I need a specialist accountant for my rental properties?
Not legally, but property accounting involves specific tax rules around mortgage interest relief, capital allowances, furnished holiday lettings and SPV structures. A specialist will save you more in tax than they cost in fees.
Should I run my portfolio through a limited company?
It depends on your income, the number of properties you own, and your plans for growth. We review your situation and model both options so you can make an informed decision.
What records do I need to keep?
You need rental income receipts, mortgage statements, invoices for repairs and maintenance, letting agent statements, and proof of any capital expenditure like new kitchens or boilers. We can help you organise everything if it feels overwhelming.
How much do your property accounting services cost?
Fees depend on the size and complexity of your portfolio. A single buy-to-let typically starts from around £50 per month plus annual accounts and tax return fees. We always quote upfront after an initial chat.
Can you help if I've fallen behind with my property accounts?
Yes. We regularly help landlords catch up on overdue bookkeeping, file late tax returns and get back on track with HMRC. The sooner you get in touch, the easier it is to resolve.
Do you work with landlords outside Cardiff?
Absolutely. We support property investors across South Wales, including Newport, Swansea, Bridgend and the Valleys. As long as you are happy to work with us remotely or visit our Cardiff office, we can help.
What happens in the free consultation?
We discuss your portfolio, current setup, any concerns about tax or compliance, and what you need from an accountant. There's no obligation, and you'll leave with a clear idea of how we can help and what it would cost.
