Driving Instructors & Driving Schools

---

Lessons, test bookings and changes to your diary keep you busy throughout the week. KC Accountants helps driving instructors organise their finances, understand their earnings and manage their accounting responsibilities, with support that fits around teaching.

We support:

• Independent driving instructors.
• Instructors working under franchise arrangements.
• Driving school owners.
• Instructors offering intensive and refresher courses.

Lesson fees are only part of the picture. Vehicle costs, fuel, insurance, franchise fees and gaps between bookings all affect what you keep.

Block bookings and advance payments can also make your records harder to follow. We help bring your lesson income and business costs together, giving you a clearer view of your results and upcoming tax payments.

Experience with businesses on the road
We support drivers and vehicle based businesses, with careful attention to the costs and records involved.

Support around your working arrangements
Whether you teach independently, pay franchise fees or run a school, we tailor the accounting service to your setup.

Clear figures and agreed fees
We explain your accounts before submission and confirm what your service includes before starting.

• Self Assessment and sole trader accounts.
• Bookkeeping for lesson income and business costs.
• Reviews of vehicle expenses and finance records.
• Limited company accounts and Corporation Tax returns.
• PAYE payroll where you employ staff.
• Making Tax Digital support and outstanding returns.

Your quote will confirm the services included.

Our offices in Whitechapel, London and Edgbaston, Birmingham serve instructors across both cities and surrounding areas. We also provide remote support throughout the UK, so you can share records without fitting an office visit between lessons.

Your fee depends on your business, the condition of your records and the support required. Visit our pricing page for starting prices or contact us for a tailored quote.
