Yes. IB&Co Accountants works with businesses and individuals across Kent, from Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells to Canterbury, Ashford and the coast. We are accountants and tax advisers at Level 37, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf. Most work is done online, and you can meet us in person at Canary Wharf or at your premises, by appointment.
We work with sole traders, landlords, contractors and limited companies across the Kent County Council area, including:
Medway is a separate unitary authority, outside the Kent County Council area, but it is part of the same ceremonial county. We also work with businesses in Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham and the rest of Medway, on the same online and by-appointment basis.
We do not have a branch in Kent. Day-to-day work is done online, through secure portals, cloud accounting and video calls. You can meet us in person at our office at One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, or at your premises, by appointment.
Southeastern is the main train operator for Kent. Many west and mid-Kent services, including trains from Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and parts of the Dartford and Gravesend lines, run into London Bridge, Cannon Street, Charing Cross or Victoria. From London Bridge, the Jubilee line runs directly to Canary Wharf.
High-speed Southeastern services from Ashford International, Ebbsfleet International, Canterbury West, Folkestone, Dover and Thanet run to London St Pancras International. From there you continue across London to Canary Wharf; your exact connection depends on the day, so check TfL and National Rail before you travel.
Abbey Wood, where the Elizabeth line terminates, also has a Southeastern interchange. That can be a useful change for some journeys from north-west Kent, because the Elizabeth line then runs directly to Canary Wharf.
Our address is Level 37, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5AA. We are open Monday to Friday 9:00 to 18:30 and Saturday 10:30 to 16:30, so you can see us before or after work, or on a Saturday.
If it is easier for us to come to you in Kent, we can meet at your premises by arrangement. Ishmael Bangura started the practice by meeting small business owners in the evenings after his day job, because they did not have time for a nine-to-five accountant. We still work around you, not the other way round.
Kent’s economy is not a single type of place. The Port of Dover, which describes itself as the UK’s busiest passenger port and Europe’s busiest roll-on, roll-off ferry port, is a major gateway for trade and travel, with knock-on work for hauliers, logistics firms, trades and local services. West Kent has a large commuter and professional population, with many people travelling into London. Maidstone is the county town and a significant commercial and retail centre. Canterbury has a concentration of universities and a visitor economy, and the coastal towns, from Whitstable to Thanet and Folkestone, combine hospitality, independent businesses and a growing creative scene. Construction is a large employer across Kent and Medway, and agriculture and horticulture still matter in the rural districts, which is why Kent is often called the Garden of England.
We can help:
Most of your tax obligations are national: Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, VAT and payroll are all dealt with by HMRC. A few things are local.
Business rates and licences. Kent County Council is responsible for services such as education, highways and social care. The 12 district, borough or city councils bill business rates and handle many business licences, for example for food, alcohol, street trading and taxis. Those councils are Ashford, Canterbury, Dartford, Dover, Folkestone and Hythe, Gravesham, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Swale, Thanet, Tonbridge and Malling, and Tunbridge Wells. If your premises are in Medway, Medway Council is the billing authority. If you move into or out of a commercial property, you need to tell the council that bills the rates. Your council can also tell you about reductions and reliefs.
Rented property. Landlords have their own obligations alongside tax. For the tax side, including Making Tax Digital, see our Property Owners services and Making Tax Digital for landlords.
After a no-obligation Discovery Call we send a fixed, written proposal, agreed before any work starts.
For sole traders, our monthly fee starts from £59.99. Your exact fee depends on how complex the work is and is set out in your fixed, written proposal. Limited company accounts, payroll, VAT, CIS and other services are also charged as a fixed fee in your proposal, not from a public price list.
We can help with:
Our accountancy fees page explains what affects the cost.
Because you can have a Canary Wharf accountant without giving up the option of a face-to-face meeting.

Yes. We help construction firms, subcontractors and tradespeople with CIS, bookkeeping, Self Assessment and limited company accounts. The fee is agreed as a fixed figure in your written proposal.
Business rates are billed by your district, borough or city council, not by Kent County Council. If your premises are in Medway, they are billed by Medway Council. The billing council can also tell you about reductions and reliefs.
