We run the back office.
You run the practice.
Client onboarding, AML checks, expert navigation of HMRC and Companies House Portals - client inquiries and billing all managed within the same GMT working hours.
The math your ops manager will like
Four practical reasons UK practices bring us into the back office.
Infrastructure savings
Engaged as a B2B contractor, not an employee — so your firm carries none of the National Insurance, PAYE / IR35, pension contributions, or equipment costs of an in-house hire.
Real-time overlap
Ghana runs on GMT, matching UK working hours almost exactly. Questions get same-day answers, not overnight ones.
Data handled properly
GDPR-conscious processes and secure access for anything touching client financial data.
Infrastructure that holds
Commercial-grade backup power and dual fibre connections — deadlines don't answer to a power cut.
Day-to-day operations, covered
The recurring, time-consuming work that keeps senior staff from billable advisory hours.
AML Checks
Client due-diligence and verification handled before onboarding completes.
GOV.UKHMRC & Companies House Portal Admin
Submissions, status checks, and correspondence across both systems.
Appeals — Late Payment & Filings
Appeals for late filing or payment penalties, built with the evidence HMRC expects.
MTDMTD-Ready Reporting
Digital record-keeping and submissions structured to Making Tax Digital.
SA100 · Account/CT600 · CGTSA100, Account/CT600 & CGT Support
Preparation support for self-assessment, corporation tax, and capital gains.
Bank Reconciliations & Payroll Prep
Ledgers kept current and payroll inputs prepared, on schedule.
Client Onboarding
Document collection and system setup handled for every new client.
Client Inquiry Support
First-line response so routine questions don't sit in an inbox.
Billing
Invoice preparation and billing administration, kept current.
Familiar with the tools you already use
Three steps to handover
Scope the handover
We map exactly which tasks move across, and agree how reporting works.
Onboard & integrate
Access and systems are set up inside your existing workflow — no new software for your team to learn.
Ongoing delivery
Daily operations run on your schedule, with regular reporting back to your team.
Built specifically for UK accounting and tax practices' administrative work
ASAH-ADU VIRTUAL SOLUTIONS is the registered operating name behind Virtual Service Assists - a team built specifically to run the administrative and operational workload of UK accounting and tax practices.
We work inside the forms and portals your practice already relies on: client onboarding, AML checks, client inquiry response, HMRC and Companies House filings and lookups, and billing management - using the software you already use, from a base in Ghana operating within standard GMT hours.
Before you ask
Quick answers on data handling, urgent deadlines, and how engagements start.
Is our client data safe with an overseas team?
Access runs through secure connections with GDPR-conscious handling procedures throughout — the same standard you'd expect from any UK-based data processor.
What happens when there's an urgent HMRC deadline?
Ghana sits on GMT, so working hours overlap with the UK almost entirely. Urgent items get same-day attention, not a message waiting for the next morning.
Do we need to change software to work with you?
No. We work inside QuickBooks, IRIS, the HMRC Portal, and Companies House — whatever your practice already runs on.
Are you an employee or a contractor?
A B2B contractor arrangement. Your firm isn't liable for National Insurance, pension contributions, or equipment costs the way it would be for an in-house hire.
How quickly can we get started?
Most engagements move through scoping, onboarding, and into live delivery within the first couple of weeks — see the three-step process above.
