CH4B – Central Hub 4 Business

At Jan McDermott Chartered Accountants, we’re delighted to partner with CH4B — a business support platform created by SME owners, for SME owners.

Get Started

What CH4B Does

CH4B exists to give you the tools, expertise and support you need to help your business succeed.

Through CH4B you’ll get:

Access to a vetted network of over 70 Expert Partners — covering HR, finance, legal, tech, marketing and more. A learning hub offering advisory calls, productivity support, networking opportunities, and a loyalty-rewards programme. A commitment to integrity, support and meaningful impact — so you can rely on guidance that’s ethical, practical and business-focused.

Why It’s a Great Fit for You

If you’re a business owner who:

  • Feels like you’re reacting instead of planning ahead
  • Is ready to step into growth mode — not just stay afloat
  • Wants real support, not just another tool

then CH4B could be exactly what your business needs.

How to prepare statutory accounts

In order to prepare full statutory accounts, multiple financial reports and business documents should be included as mentioned above. These documents help to explain the reasons behind the company’s business and financial performance during the accounting year.

How We Work with CH4B at Jan McDermott Chartered Accountants

As your accountants, we make sure you get the most out of CH4B:

  • We’ll sign you up straight away for a complimentary Core Membership — giving you instant access to essential tools and resources.
  • CH4B will then reach out to guide you through the full platform — helping you see what’s available, and tailor the support to your business.
  • We work alongside CH4B — so it’s not just about joining a platform but using it effectively.
  • We’ll make sure your tax, accounting and growth strategy all align — so CH4B’s resources and support boost what we’re already doing together to help your business thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, and we often use Xero for this purpose.  However, we wouldn’t recommend that you push the button on the annual accounts yourself as you may not know about the all relevant disclosures that are required. 

More importantly, you will probably pay more tax than you need to.

Your first accounts need to reach Companies House 21 months after the day of incorporation.  For each subsequent year, the filing deadline is 9 months after your financial year end and late filing penalties will be charged if you file late.

Our client management system will ensure that you never miss a filing deadline.

After our initial meeting, we will prepare a unique, fixed fee proposal for you.  This is based on many things, such as the size of your business, the volume of transactions, and the quality of your accounting records.

They provide us with a fully outsourced finance function so that our own team can focus on our business. They implemented Xero software from day one of the company meaning that we have real-time visibility of our business at all times, The monthly management accounts meetings we have with Jan really add value to decision-making and strategic planning and we wouldn’t be without them.

Peter Broxton

Their professionalism, expertise and client care are outstanding and they have supported our growing business no end. They look after everything from our bookkeeping, VAT, annual accounts, as well as claiming Research & Development tax relief, preparing budgets and forecasts and assisting with grant claims. The whole team are always responsive, friendly and reliable and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and efficient firm to look after their business finance requirements.

I moved my accounts over to Jan at the beginning of the year and have been extremely impressed with her attention to detail and precision. She’s made it easy for me to understand and manage all the key aspects of my accountancy, as well as offering useful suggestions of ways to improve and make things work more efficiently for me and my business. I’d highly recommend Jan and her team to anyone looking for professional, friendly, and reliable accountants that truly get to know you and offer a tailored service.”

Alistair Evans

Jan McDermott & Co have been our accountants for over 15 years and have not only ensured our accounting records are accurate and legal, but also provided us with first class advice to help us grow. They recommended our move to Xero accounting software which has revolutionised our business, allowing us to create predictable income through the use of Go Cardless Direct Debits, and streamlining our day to day accounting operations. Jan and her team are friendly,  easy to work with and take time to understand a particular problem or situation. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any business that wants an accountancy firm they can grow with and depend on.
