I've just started a business in Penzance — where do I begin?

Start with a free consultation. We’ll talk through the right structure for your business (sole trader vs. limited company), what HMRC registrations you need, and what records to keep from day one.

How do I switch accountants to Mounts Bay?

Switching is simpler than most people expect. We contact your previous accountant directly to request your records and manage the handover — you don’t have to deal with any of that.

Do you offer support throughout the year, or just at year end?

We offer unlimited phone and email support as part of our fixed-fee packages — you’re not charged extra for a quick question.

Accountants in Penzance, Cornwall

Mounts Bay Accountants provides accounting, tax and business advisory services to sole traders, limited companies and individuals throughout Penzance and the surrounding area. Our office is based in Newlyn, just minutes from Penzance town centre — close enough to meet in person whenever that’s useful.

Penzance is the commercial hub of West Cornwall, and the variety of businesses operating here reflects that: retail, hospitality, professional services, construction, tourism and a growing number of remote workers and freelancers. We work with businesses across all of these sectors, offering accounts preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and tax planning.

What sets us apart from the larger regional firms in the area is the level of personal attention you receive. When you call us, you speak to Lisa or a member of the team — not a call centre. Our fees are fixed and transparent, and we aim to be the kind of accountant you actually enjoy talking to.

If you’re currently unrepresented, recently started a business, or unhappy with your existing accountant, we offer a free initial consultation to talk through what you need and give you a clear quote.

Our office in 14 The Strand, Newlyn, Cornwall, TR18 5HN. We’re happy to meet in person or work entirely by phone and email — whatever suits you.
