By MPAS
You know that feeling when the business is doing well – but you can’t quite see all of it? That’s the moment a business outgrows ‘just the accounts’. METRON is the finance function for what comes next: books closed monthly to a published timetable, management information in plain English, tax planned before it lands – and a team that treats your ambition as the brief. Built by MPAS. Designed for businesses going somewhere.

Surprise fees. Every price agreed in writing before work begins.1 file
Your whole history in one place, visible to the whole team – never stuck in one inbox.It is exactly how we work. Every engagement is properly scoped, every month is closed to a timetable, and every report is reconciled back to the books it came from. No vague ‘all-inclusive’ promises – a clearly defined service, delivered to a professional standard, at a fee that reflects the real work involved.
Accurate, reconciled books closed to a published monthly timetable – with a clear query process and a close confirmation you can rely on.
VAT preparation, review and filing, director payroll, statutory accounts, Corporation Tax and Self Assessment – each clearly scoped within your partnership.
Quarterly snapshots, control reports or full monthly management information – numbers made intelligible, so decisions get easier.
Every partnership is paid monthly in advance by Direct Debit and scoped around your actual volume, systems and complexity. All prices are exclusive of VAT.
Straightforward, lower-volume, non-VAT recurring bookkeeping with quarterly clarity – the calm foundation for a growing business.
For higher-volume and VAT-registered businesses: VAT preparation, review and filing, tax and risk communication, and a detailed quarterly Control Report.
An embedded finance function – weekly bookkeeping and/or monthly management information, regular finance meetings and cashflow coordination, as scoped.
‘Two businesses can look similar and be very different to serve. Your fee reflects your actual workload – agreed openly at the start, and reviewed on evidence, never by surprise.’
Why our pricing says ‘from’
METRON is built on the MPAS philosophy – four Greek principles that shape how every client, every month and every number is handled.
Measure · Proportion
Measure accurately. Workload, evidence, numbers and performance are made visible – never guessed.
Foresight
Think ahead about deadlines, tax, cash and what your business will need next – before it becomes urgent.
Excellence
Work to a higher professional standard, rather than competing on cheapness or vague all-inclusive promises.
Understanding
Make the numbers intelligible, so you understand what they mean and can act on them with confidence.
Most practices our size run on spreadsheets and memory. We built THEMIS – our bespoke practice management system, named for the Greek titaness of good order – so your account runs on a system, not on somebody remembering.
Every statutory date we’re responsible for is tracked centrally and visible to the whole team – not just to the person who happens to look after you.
Whoever you speak to can see the history of your account – your correspondence, queries and filings in one place. No ‘let me find out who was dealing with that.’
Holidays, illness, a busy week – the work and its context move with your file, not with the individual, so your service doesn’t stall because one person is away.
If we’ve asked you something and it’s gone quiet, THEMIS reminds us to follow up – queries are noted, tracked and kept on top of, rather than waiting for month-end to notice.
THEMIS organises, tracks and prompts – she doesn’t make decisions or give advice. Every judgement about your affairs is still made by a qualified human being.
We publish our monthly close timetable, our communication standards and our review process – because a premium service should be visible, not vague.
Records in by set working days; our aim is a standard close by the 20th working day when deadlines are met. You always know where your month stands.
Every email is acknowledged, and routine matters – urgent HMRC and statutory correspondence included – are reviewed within two working days.
We work with you, not in place of you. Clear responsibilities on both sides keep your service calm, timely and properly priced.
