Nathan Evans Ltd

What Nathan Evans Ltd does

Nathan Evans Limited is an independent chartered accountancy and tax advisory firm registered in England and Wales (company number 7090510), operated as a husband-and-wife practice out of a single office at 16 Cambrian Way, Marshfield, Cardiff. Founded in 2018 by Nathan Evans (LLB BFP FCA) and Suzanne Evans (BA BFP FCA), both Fellows of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, the firm delivers a full-service accountancy portfolio to small businesses, entrepreneurs, start-ups, and established businesses in the Cardiff-Newport corridor of South Wales, plus a smaller personal-client book for self-assessment and property income tax work. The service catalogue comprises six core lines: Tax & HMRC (business and corporation tax, National Insurance, Making Tax Digital, capital allowances), Small Business & Limited Companies (formation, accounting, Companies House and HMRC compliance), New Businesses (bookkeeping, accounts preparation, management accounts), VAT & Payroll (registration, returns, PAYE), Personal Tax & Self Assessment (including Basis Period Reform guidance), and Xero Online Accounting delivered under the firm's Bronze Xero Partner status.

The underlying technology estate is intentionally lean and third-party: Xero serves as the core accounting platform for both internal practice operations and client-facing real-time collaboration, with bank feeds, customisation, and bookkeeping workflows configured by the firm. No proprietary software, APIs, or developer tooling are offered; no mobile app, SDK, or MCP integration exists. Operations are supported by a basic content website (nathanevansltd.co.uk), email, and phone, with the website acting as a top-of-funnel information hub and testimonial surface rather than a transactional platform.

The commercial model is a conventional time-based professional services engagement: fees are calculated from hours worked multiplied by a charge-out rate, with the level of fee set by time, skill, responsibility, value of advice, and risk, billed monthly; fixed-fee quotes are offered for defined service scopes and VAT is added where chargeable. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, with growth sourced almost entirely from client referrals, word-of-mouth within the Cardiff-Newport SMB community, ICAEW professional network effects, and the Xero partner channel. There are no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds; ownership and operational control rest entirely with the two founder-directors.
