Accountants in Peterborough: One Fixed Monthly Fee, No Surprises
Bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and tax with real-time Xero figures and unlimited advice. We're based in Market Deeping and look after Peterborough businesses by phone, video or in person.
Peterborough Businesses
A busy city needs an accountant who keeps up
Peterborough has a wide mix of businesses, from engineering and manufacturing firms to logistics and distribution operators, with tradespeople, shops, cafés and professional services in between. No two run the same way, but they share one problem: the owner is too busy running the business to chase the paperwork.
That's where we come in. Figures UK has been helping businesses since October 2007. We're based in Market Deeping, serving Peterborough, and we do the monthly bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and tax for one fixed fee, so you always know where you stand.

Choosing An Accountant
Five questions to ask any Peterborough accountant
Searching for accountants in Peterborough gets you a long list, and they all say they're friendly. Here's what is worth asking before you sign anything.
- Is the fee fixed? Ours is. Monthly, all-in, with no hourly rates or year-end surprises.
- Will I get advice during the year? Unlimited advice is included with us, so you can ask before you spend, not after.
- Which software do you use? We work exclusively in Xero, so you and your accountant look at the same live numbers.
- Are you ready for Making Tax Digital? Every one of our team of 6 is Xero-certified and we handle MTD for you.
- What happens if I want to switch? We take care of the handover, even mid-year.
