RM Accountancy Services

What RM Accountancy Services does

RM Accountancy Services is a Nottingham-based, privately held accountancy firm founded in 2016 (per company history) that delivers outsourced accounting, tax, payroll, and advisory services to UK small businesses, contractors, freelancers, and start-ups. Its core technology stack is built around SAGE software for HMRC-compliant payroll processing and a proprietary online client portal, supplemented by Calendly-driven online appointment booking. The firm markets three stacked monthly subscription packages — Bronze (£70/month + VAT), Silver (£90/month + VAT), and Gold (£150/month + VAT) — each tiered on a dedicated-accountant model with progressively added services (registered office, bookkeeping, business insurance, IR35 reviews, and wealth/mortgage review). A separate RM Umbrella arm, accredited by Professional Passport and channelled through approved-provider relationships with multiple large employment agencies, offers a PAYE salary solution targeting contractors with approximately 72% take-home pay and same-day pay capability.

The firm's go-to-market blends direct sales (phone, email, face-to-face, online booking) with referral partnerships through employment agencies, supported by content marketing via its blog, local SEO targeting "Accountants in Nottingham," and an email newsletter. RM is accredited by the Association of International Accountants (AIA) and positions itself on 50+ years of combined team experience in the Nottingham market. The company operates two Nottingham offices (Lancaster House on Sherwood Rise and Leaworks House on Ronald Street), employs nine staff led by directors Ruksanna Malik and Riaz Malik, and reports a base of approximately 456 happy clients. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly subscriptions, with supplementary income from one-off advisory engagements (IR35 reviews, business and succession planning) and umbrella payroll margin, though no financial figures are publicly disclosed.
