Services
Year-End Accounts
Our year-end accounts service focuses on precision, compliance, and practical understanding of your financial position. By preparing FRS102-compliant accounts efficiently, we enable timely review and informed planning. We take care of statutory reporting, tax calculations, and reconciliations, allowing us to identify legitimate opportunities to optimise outcomes while ensuring clarity and confidence at year end.
Bookkeeping & VAT
Our bookkeeping service is built around precision, transparency and practical support. We handle records, reconciliations, VAT and reporting with careful attention to detail, keeping your accounts organised and compliant. Services are tailored to your business, providing dependable financial information for planning, oversight and year-end readiness.
Payroll
Keeping payroll compliant demands vigilance, which we provide on behalf of our clients. Our service is suitable for both small teams and more established payroll functions. We oversee processes carefully to prevent errors and compliance issues. As a result, payroll is delivered consistently, accurately, and with professional oversight.
Self Assessment
We provide a comprehensive Self Assessment service designed to remove uncertainty and reduce pressure. Our team prepares and submits returns accurately, reviews all relevant reliefs and allowances, and ensures deadlines are met. We also support forward planning, helping clients understand upcoming liabilities and manage payments with confidence.
Business Valuations
A robust business valuation gives you the confidence to negotiate effectively, raise finance, reward shareholders or plan a successful exit. At Modus Accountants, we combine qualified accounting expertise with real-world deal experience to deliver clear, defensible valuations that stand up to scrutiny from investors, buyers and lenders.
Virtual Finance Director (VFD) Services
As businesses grow, there comes a point where bookkeeping and year-end accounts are no longer enough. You need strategic financial leadership from budgets and cash flow forecasting to KPIs, funding, pricing and profit improvement without the commitment of a full-time finance director. Our Virtual Finance Director (VFD) service gives Oxfordshire SMEs in Witney, Abingdon and the surrounding areas access to that level of expertise on a flexible, scalable basis, providing clear direction and financial confidence as your business moves forward.
Business Coaching & Mentoring
Our Business Coaching & Mentoring service supports founders and SMEs in Oxford, Witney and Abingdon with practical, numbers-led guidance. We focus on strategy, accountability and clear actions, all closely linked to KPIs, cash flow, budgets and profit, helping you make confident decisions and drive sustainable growth.

Having taken the step back in 2017 to set up my own business it has been one that I have been very lucky with.
Modus came into the picture within the last 12 months due to taking over from the previous accountants I was using as they had decided it was time for them to retire. I was a little nervous at first however from the first conversation with Samantha and the team at Modus I was given a huge boost and relief as their professionalism and methods of business is phenomenal.
The advice and guidance already given to me by Modus has been amazing and one I truly appreciate and will continue to learn from so in my opinion I owe Modus a massive thank you for the work they do. I would highly recommend Modus to any company as both the work and professional service they deliver is first class.

I have been working with Modus for about 2 years now. I swapped over from an accountant you had made lots of mistakes in my accounts, and Modus put in the time to rectify everything. They are always available to answer questions. We are a small startup and their rates are very reasonable for the quality of work.

Were a business based in Witney and needed urgent help filing our accounts as we were let down by our accountant. Mark and Sam at Modus were very responsive and managed to file our accounts before the deadline. I can highly recommend Modus, many thanks for your help!

We have only recently moved to Modus but cannot rate, Mark, Sam and the whole team highly enough. Not only are they getting our accounts and admin in order but they are also helping with long term planning and steering the business in the right direction. A first class team.

We hold multiple accounts with Modus accountants, Business & Personnel, we find that their knowledge base and communications between all their departments is exceptional and always on point. Any financial issues that need resolving these are completed in a very professional manner and within expected time frames. I would absolutely recommend Modus accountants to any Personnel, Business or Corporation for all aspects of Accounting & Tax liabilities, we are very satisfied with their appointment.

Decided to switch accountant for my IT Limited company to a local company in Oxford area and found Aries Accountants, who are now Modus. They have now been my accountants for both business and self assessment services for over ten years and I have never encountered any issues during this time. All returns have been submitted to HMRC on time and with no issues. I wish to thank Nick and his team for all their help and support since I first stepped into the doors at Aries to now where they have now grown into Modus.

Since transitioning to Modus a couple of years ago, I have been very happy. The whole team is friendly, efficient, and capable. Sam in particular has helped us to improve the business's financial performance.
