About Us

Our Story

01 - The Problem

Running a business is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming.

For many business owners, accounting isn't the part they enjoy. It's the late nights trying to understand tax rules, worrying about HMRC deadlines, chasing paperwork, and wondering whether they're making the right financial decisions. We saw too many hardworking entrepreneurs spending their valuable time on compliance instead of growing their businesses. That's why Additions Plus was created. Not simply to prepare accounts or submit tax returns—but to become the trusted financial partner that every business owner deserves.

02 - Our Approach

More than accountants. Partners in your journey.

Whether you're starting your first company, growing a successful business, managing investment properties, or simply wanting peace of mind that everything is handled correctly, we're here to support you every step of the way. We believe accounting should be clear, proactive, and personal. Instead of confusing technical jargon, we explain things in plain English. Instead of speaking to you once a year, we stay connected throughout the year. Instead of waiting for problems to arise, we help you identify opportunities before they become challenges. Because when your business succeeds, so do we.

03 - Our Values

Built around people, not paperwork.

Behind every set of accounts is a family, a dream, or someone working hard to build a better future. We never lose sight of that. That's why we take time to understand your business, your goals, and what matters most to you. Every recommendation we make is designed to help you save time, reduce stress, remain compliant, and make better financial decisions. Our clients don't see us as just accountants—they see us as part of their team.

Ms. Raj Patel

Director, Additions Plus Accountants

With over 20 years of experience in the accounting and business advisory field, I established Additions Plus with a clear goal – to make high-quality, practical financial support accessible to small businesses and start-ups across Slough and the Berkshire region and then we successfully extended our services across the United Kingdom. Too often, businesses struggle not because of lack of ambition, but because they lack timely advice, clear financial insight, or a partner who truly understands their challenges. At Additions Plus, we aim to change that. We bring a personal, responsive approach to accounting — one that's rooted in trust, flexibility, and a genuine desire to see our clients succeed.

Our clients benefit from a unique blend of professional expertise and real-world business understanding. As a small, owner-managed practice ourselves, we relate closely to the people we work with — and we take pride in being more than just accountants. We're advisors, partners, and problem-solvers, committed to helping you reduce costs, stay compliant, and increase profitability. Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your business to the next level, we're here to support you — every step of the way.
