About Priya

Priya qualified as a chartered accountant (ACA) with a Big Four firm in London, then moved in-house as finance lead for a venture-backed SaaS company. She now runs her own practice supporting micro and small limited companies, and is herself a director of two limited companies — one trading, one investment. She writes our content on Corporation Tax, dividends, payroll, VAT and the year-end filings that catch new directors out, and reviews anything on this site that touches a limited company.

How Priya works

  • Researches every guide against primary sources — GOV.UK, HMRC, Companies House and the FCA — and links them in-text when they materially affect the guidance.
  • Fact-checks product details (fees, eligibility, APR) at least monthly and flags stale numbers rather than quietly leaving them.
  • Spotted something wrong? Tell us via the Corrections Policy and we’ll fix and date-stamp it.
