Accountants in Newlyn, Cornwall
Mounts Bay Accountants is based in the heart of Newlyn — not a regional office of a larger firm, but a genuinely local practice run by Lisa Haffenden FMAAT, who has built the business from the ground up in this community. If you’re looking for an accountant who actually knows Newlyn, we’re it.
Newlyn has a distinctive business community — the fishing industry, creative businesses, tradespeople, and hospitality all make up the local economy in different ways, and each has its own tax and accounting quirks. We work with sole traders, limited companies, landlords and individuals across the village, offering the same range of services as much larger firms but with the kind of personal attention you only get from someone your size.
Our services for Newlyn clients include year-end accounts, Self Assessment tax returns, VAT and Making Tax Digital, bookkeeping (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage), payroll and CIS. All fees are fixed and agreed in advance — no hourly billing, no surprises.
As a home-based practice, our overheads are lower than firms with expensive town-centre offices, and we pass that on through genuinely competitive fees without compromising on the quality of advice.
Our office is at 14 The Strand, Newlyn, Cornwall, TR18 5HN. Most ongoing work is handled by phone and email — in-person meetings at our Newlyn office are always welcome.
Do you work with fishing businesses and the marine sector in Newlyn?
Yes — the fishing industry has specific tax treatment around equipment, vessel costs and seasonal income that we’re familiar with. Get in touch to discuss your situation.
Can you handle my accounts if I'm also employed part-time?
Yes, mixed income situations — employment plus self-employment, or rental income alongside a salary — are very common and we handle them as a matter of course.
What does a fixed-fee accounting package include?
It varies by client, but typically: year-end accounts, Self Assessment tax return, and unlimited phone/email support throughout the year. We quote based on your specific needs at the outset.
