Services in Barking & Dagenham
We provide a full range of accounting, tax, and advisory services to businesses and individuals across Barking & Dagenham.
Serving Barking & Dagenham
Barking and Dagenham is one of East London's most industrious boroughs — a district built on manufacturing, construction, and logistics that continues to drive a significant portion of London's physical infrastructure. The riverside regeneration at Barking Riverside and the industrial estates along River Road and Ripple Road house hundreds of contractors, subcontractors, hauliers, and fabricators. Brathwaite Accountants has deep experience with the CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) as it operates in this environment: monthly contractor returns, subcontractor gross payment status applications, and year-end tax reclaim submissions for workers who have had deductions taken at source. Beyond construction, we serve the full range of RM8–RM10 businesses: retailers around Barking town centre, logistics operators, takeaways, and first-generation business owners filing their first limited company accounts. Our Ilford office is under 15 minutes from Barking via the A123.
Whether you're a sole trader, a growing SME, or an established business, we provide the expert financial support you need — delivered with the professionalism and care that Brathwaite Accountants is known for.

Barking & Dagenham accountancy questions
Do you specialise in CIS accounting for Barking and Dagenham contractors?
Yes. Construction is the dominant industry in RM8–RM10 and we are experienced CIS specialists. We handle monthly contractor returns, subcontractor verification, gross payment status applications, and year-end tax refund claims — whether you are a sole-trader subcontractor or a limited-company contractor managing a team.
Can you help a Dagenham-based limited company with its accounts and corporation tax?
Absolutely. Full-service limited company accounting — annual accounts, corporation tax (CT600), director self-assessment, and payroll — is one of our most common packages for Barking and Dagenham businesses. Fixed-fee, no surprise bills.
My business is based on Ripple Road / River Road Industrial Estate — can you help?
Yes. We serve businesses across the Barking riverside, River Road, and Ripple Road industrial areas — including logistics operators, light manufacturers, and trade suppliers. We are familiar with the VAT implications of mixed wholesale/retail sales and the asset-finance structures common in this sector.
How do I reclaim CIS tax deductions suffered as a subcontractor?
If your contractor has been deducting CIS tax at source (20% or 30%), you are entitled to offset those deductions against your income tax or corporation tax liability. Any excess is refunded by HMRC. We calculate and submit these claims as part of your annual return — many subcontractors are owed hundreds or thousands of pounds they never claim.
