Clearsight is a Cardiff-based firm of chartered accountants working with businesses across Bridgend county, from the industrial estates to the high street. Year-end accounts, VAT, payroll, management accounts and R&D tax credits, handled on a fixed monthly fee by a named, ACCA-qualified adviser.
Bridgend sits at the working heart of the M4 corridor: manufacturing, engineering, trades and the businesses that support them. That shapes what good accounting looks like here:
The industrial estates around Bridgend are full of businesses doing qualifying R&D without claiming it. We build defensible claims and coordinate them with your year-end.
R&D tax credits →Shift patterns, mixed frequencies, starters and leavers, run accurately every time, with pensions and RTI included.
Payroll services →Making Tax Digital filing with the right scheme and the right treatment, including reverse charge for construction trades.
VAT returns →Year-end accounts filed early, tax planned across the year, and monthly numbers that tell you what to do next.
Year-end accounts →Plenty of firms in Bridgend will file your accounts. Fewer will call you mid-year about a relief you're missing, send you monthly management accounts that end with a recommendation, or coordinate your personal tax with the company's. That's the service we run. See how we work.
We serve Bridgend, Porthcawl, Pencoed, Maesteg and the Vale from Cardiff. Our hub page is accountants in Cardiff.
We're a Cardiff firm and Bridgend is squarely in our patch, roughly half an hour along the M4. We meet Bridgend clients at their premises when it's useful, and run the month-to-month work over cloud software and video, which is how most of our clients prefer it.
Often, yes, and many never claim. If your team has solved technical problems without a ready-made answer (new processes, tooling, materials, automation), that work may qualify under the merged R&D scheme. We assess it honestly: if there's no claim, we'll tell you.
Yes. Weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly runs (including mixed frequencies across different teams), with RTI, pensions and statutory pay handled on every run.
A fixed monthly fee that reflects your turnover, transaction volume and services, agreed before we start and reviewed as you grow. You should never be surprised by an accountancy invoice.
Tell us, and we do the rest: professional clearance, your records, HMRC agent authorisation, and a reconciliation of everything we inherit. Switching is free, and there's no gap in your filings.
