ACCA Chartered Certified Accountant

Meet your new accountant. Your business's best mate.

I'm Alexander Clarke, director of ACT Accounting. Here's why I'll be the best accountant you've ever had:

  • Content creator & crypto specialist. OnlyFans, cam and social creators, adult industry workers, crypto traders and investors. The areas most accountants won't touch.
  • Every industry, every structure. Construction, mechanics and garages, pubs and restaurants, e-commerce, trades, property, consultants and more, from sole traders and limited companies to worldwide group structures.
  • Business Mate on WhatsApp. Message me any time, all year, and get a straight answer.
  • Proactive, not reactive. Every deadline and HMRC rule covered, and tax planned before it's due.
  • I run a business too. I understand how yours works, not just the numbers.

What are you actually getting from your accountant? Do they check in during the year, or only when the bill is due? Are you on top of every deadline and HMRC rule? Book a free consultation and I'll show you what you could be missing.

Business Mate: your accountant, on WhatsApp

Most accountants are hard to reach. You email, wait a week, and get a bill for the reply. Business Mate is different. You message me on WhatsApp whenever something comes up, and I answer.

  • Ask anything, any time. "Can I claim this?" "Should I take a dividend?"
  • Send a photo of a receipt or HMRC letter and I'll tell you what it means
  • Deadline reminders before they creep up on you
  • No extra charge for quick questions

Who I work with

Specialist knowledge where most accountants don't have it

I work with all kinds of businesses, but these are the areas I know inside out.

Content creators & adult industry

Creators & adult industry workers

OnlyFans, cam, social media and adult industry income doesn't fit neatly into a standard tax return, and a lot of accountants won't touch it. I will, with no judgement. I also help you understand your money and plan your exit, so your earnings last beyond your career. Everything stays completely confidential.

  • Income from OnlyFans, Fansly, Stripchat, TikTok, YouTube and more
  • Claiming the right costs: equipment, outfits, props and subscriptions
  • Beauty treatments, hair and nails where they're for your work, and what HMRC will accept
  • Foreign platform payments, VAT and when to go limited
  • Sorting out past years you haven't declared
  • Financial literacy: understanding your money, saving for tax and building wealth
  • Exit strategy: planning for life after creating and protecting what you've earned

Crypto

Crypto investors & traders

HMRC is getting data straight from exchanges now. I have hands-on experience with trading, mining, staking and DeFi, so I can get your crypto tax right.

  • Capital gains across multiple wallets and exchanges
  • Mining, staking, airdrops and DeFi income
  • Crypto held through a limited company
  • HMRC nudge letters and voluntary disclosures

Limited companies

Directors & their companies

Most of my clients are UK limited companies. I handle the company and the director together, so nothing falls between the gaps.

  • Accounts, corporation tax and confirmation statements
  • Director payroll and the right salary/dividend mix
  • Group structures and holding companies
  • Proactive planning before your year end

Worldwide groups & Dubai

International groups & Dubai

Trading across borders, setting up a group overseas or moving abroad? Get the UK side wrong and HMRC can still tax you after you've left. For Dubai, I work with a trusted partner firm who handles company setup, licences, visas and relocation, while I look after the UK tax side.

  • UK and overseas group and holding company structures
  • UK & Dubai groups, set up with our Dubai partner
  • Relocating: UK tax residence and leaving properly
  • Ongoing UK compliance once you've moved
