Accountants for Filey businesses and individuals
If you need an accountant for your Filey business or personal tax, Wright Pottage is based along the coast in Scarborough. We help limited companies, sole traders, partnerships, landlords and individuals in and around Filey with their accounts and tax, and we're happy to talk through what you need before you commit to anything.
A Scarborough firm working with Filey
Our office is at Europa House, 20 Esplanade, Scarborough YO11 2AQ, and we're open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. We work with Filey clients by phone and email, and you can meet us in person at the office by appointment. Our team has over 100 years of combined team experience.
Filey is a seaside town, and many local businesses are busiest in the summer. We work with holiday let owners, caravan and holiday park businesses, cafés, shops and other seasonal traders, as well as the builders, plumbers, electricians and other trades who work in the town and surrounding villages all year round. Topics that come up often for Filey clients include:
- Seasonal income and cash flow: keeping bookkeeping up to date through the busy months makes year-end accounts, VAT and tax payments in the quieter months easier to plan for.
- Seasonal payroll: taking on summer staff means registering new starters with HMRC through payroll on or before their first payday, reporting each pay run on time and checking auto-enrolment duties.
- Holiday lets: the furnished holiday lettings tax regime ended from 6 April 2025 (1 April 2025 for companies), so holiday lets are now taxed under the normal residential property rules.
- VAT: you must register if your taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in a rolling 12 months, which a strong summer can bring forward.

Questions people in Filey often ask
Do I have to come to your Scarborough office?
No. We can work with you by phone and email, and you can meet us at the office by appointment.
My business is mainly seasonal. Can you help me keep on top of things through the year?
Yes. We can keep your bookkeeping up to date during the season, so your accounts, VAT returns and tax bills don't come as a surprise later in the year.
I'm a self-employed tradesperson in Filey. Will Making Tax Digital for Income Tax affect me?
It might. It has applied from 6 April 2026 if your qualifying income from self-employment and property was over £50,000 in 2024–25, and applies from April 2027 above £30,000 and from April 2028 above £20,000. We can check where you stand and help with software and quarterly updates.
Can you run payroll for summer staff?
Yes. We can set up seasonal starters, run each pay run, make the RTI submissions to HMRC and look after auto-enrolment.
