Keep more of your income

Out of hours support

Feeling Overwhelmed By Your Accounts?

When you’re a self-employed Driving Instructor, keeping on top of your records can be a constant challenge. Receipts go missing, spreadsheets get forgotten, and when the January 31st deadline rolls around – it’s stressful.

Figuring out what you can claim for – fuel, mileage, car payments – can be confusing too. Get it wrong, and not only could you miss out on tax savings, but one mistake on your tax return could mean a penalty from HMRC.

And if you’ve been meaning to “sort it out soon” for a while … you’re not alone. The good news? We make it easy to fix.

The Hidden Cost of Managing Your Own Bookkeeping

Being a driving instructor isn’t just about teaching your pupils how to drive – it’s about running a business.

Managing your own accounts takes up evenings, weekends – time that could be spent with your pupils, your family, or simply relaxing.

Every hour you spend buried in paperwork is an hour you’re not earning or enjoying life.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Making Your Accounts One Less Thing To Worry About

At Zelah Solutions, we take care of your bookkeeping throughout the year and complete and submit your year-end accounts and Self Assessment for you.

You can ask questions at any time – we’re always happy to help.

Here’s how we will support you and your driving school business:

  • Track your income and expenses clearly
  • Bookkeeping updated fortnightly – your records are always current
  • We handle your bookkeeping, end-of-year accounts and tax return – all included in one fixed monthly fee
  • Understand what you can claim (and what you can’t)
  • Submit your tax return on time, stress-free
  • Stay compliant with digital record-keeping (MTD)
  • Get real time updates so you know how much profit you’re making
  • Know how much tax you’ll owe at least 8 months before the deadline
  • Access evening and weekend support – because your working day doesn’t end at 5pm

What Our Clients Say

Jo

Lisa has been absolutely brilliant. Lisa has been managing my accounts for about a year now and she’s been absolutely brilliant. I am a self employed driving instructor and Lisa has made it so simple for me to upload all my income and expenses. She regularly keeps in touch and is always at the end of the phone happy to answer any questions I have.

Chris Sherriff

Lisa is the best. My name is Chris Sherriff and I’m a driving instructor and I have no organisation skills and my accounts were becoming too much for me so I decided to look for an accountant and I found Lisa Maughan and I’m so happy I did. Lisa spoke to me in a way that made me feel reassured, and Lisa took control of everything, and it’s so easy for me now. I upload receipts and Lisa does the rest for me and if I ever have an issue or I’m not sure about something Lisa is more than happy to help and always gets back my messages and this has made me feel so in control of my accounts and my accounts have never been in better shape. So if you’re like me and need reassurance and someone to take full control of your accounts, Lisa is your woman and is the best at what she does. Lisa has really made me feel at ease, and I can’t thank her enough. Lisa will make you never worry again and in my opinion Lisa is worth every penny. Thank you 😊

Felix – Emma Wilson School of Motoring

Lisa is worth her weight in Diamonds! Lisa is worth her weight in Diamonds. I am a sole trader driving instructor, so I spend a lot of my time at work, and the remaining part of my time I am sorting out my children and running the house. So I don't have time to do or even think about accounts. This is where Lisa comes in. She does everything for me, all I need is to give her my receipts and access to my business bank account transactions and she does the rest. This relieves the stressful job of doing accounts to 0 and I can focus my time on what is more important to me. I 100% would recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a professional, friendly bookkeeper.

John Chilton

I am a self employed driver using Zelah Solutions. I am a self employed driver. Lisa at Zelah Solutions has been managing my books for about 18 months now. I have found the experience very beneficial for my business as it means I don't have to worry about anything. I can be on the road earning money whilst Lisa takes care of preparing my tax return. It is money well spent for me. She is on the ball all the time keeping me in line with uploading receipts for her to categorise and work out the most efficient way of returning the consumables I use. Great friendly service. I'll never take care of my own returns whilst Lisa provides this service (yes I do check them as they are my returns!)

Miles Ashworth

Can't recommend highly enough. Lisa who heads up Zelah has been my bookkeeper for 15 years. In that time my business has grown 10 fold and Lisa has always dealt with any issues I've had, efficiently, proactively and professionally. I want to get on with running my business and not be distracted with issues that can be better dealt with by others. She's an invaluable element of my business.
