Overview
What is Tax Prep Support?
Tax preparation support outsourcing involves delegating the assembly and computation of UK tax returns — corporation tax (CT600), personal self-assessment (SA100), partnership returns, and VAT — to qualified accountants outside your practice. Treba provides ACCA-qualified accountants in Nairobi who understand UK tax legislation and work inside your tax software via secure VPN, delivering draft returns ready for partner review and sign-off.

The challenge
Why UK companies struggle with tax prep support.
Tax season breaks accounting practices every year. The January self-assessment deadline creates a 3-month crunch where your existing team works evenings and weekends to clear the backlog. Hiring temporary tax staff in London costs £35,000+ annualised and the quality is inconsistent — you end up reviewing and correcting work that was supposed to save you time. Meanwhile, your year-round tax advisory work suffers because your senior staff are buried in compliance returns. The pattern repeats every year because the economics of seasonal UK hiring do not work.
