We prepare to review-ready. The review, the opinion and the signature are yours — that's what your licence and your PI cover, and we're not pretending otherwise.
Muckin puts Buzz Accounting's own team to work inside your practice. We got tired of outsourcers that sold capacity in January and vanished in March, so we built the team we wanted to buy: permanent, in your systems, doing the lot.
Muckin's founders run Buzz Accounting, a practice across England and Northern Ireland with its own production office in Pretoria, South Africa, and have bought and integrated other firms. Every outsourcing model we tried had the same flaw: it was built around jobs, not people. Send a job, get a job back, never speak to the same preparer twice, and watch the knowledge walk out the door every time the season ended.
So we built Muckin. Seats rather than jobs: the same people every month, working inside your software, to your standard, on whatever mix of accounts, admin and marketing the practice needs that month. Priced so a sole practitioner can start, and built so a ten-partner firm can scale.
To join in with a task and share the work, especially the hard or unglamorous part, without being asked twice. "Everyone mucked in and the job was done by Friday."
That's the whole brand. Not "offshore delivery centre". Not "resource augmentation". People who turn up, get stuck in, and are still there next month.
No account managers between you and the people doing the job, and no org chart — everyone here does the work or reviews it. You meet whoever is assigned to your practice before they start on it.

Andy runs an accountancy practice and has bought and integrated others, so he has been on both sides of this — the owner drowning in production, and the buyer of outsourcing that promised the earth and sent back a mess. Muckin is the thing he wanted to buy and couldn't find.

Peter built his own accountancy firm from nothing to a substantial recurring fee base, client by client, over more than twenty years. He knows to the pound what a practice can carry, which is why the pricing here is arithmetic rather than optimism. He is also the UK reviewer: accounts and tax work is signed off by him before it reaches you. Our practising licence is held through Peter — AAT licence 1001556, valid to 31 July 2027.

Candice reviews and delivers accounts and tax work. When a job lands back with your firm review-ready, with a notes sheet that answers the questions before you ask them, it has been past her.

Jolandi is one of the senior accountants on the production team, taking year-end and tax work from a pile of client records through to review-ready.

Rochelle prepares accounts, tax returns and management figures across a broad mix of owner-managed businesses — the steady monthly work that keeps a practice's clients current instead of catching up in January.

Mary works across accounts preparation and tax, and is usually the one keeping the detail straight when a job has a lot of moving parts and a deadline attached.
We prepare to review-ready. The review, the opinion and the signature are yours — that's what your licence and your PI cover, and we're not pretending otherwise.
Client-facing work is admin, chasing and content — never advice. Anything that needs a judgement call comes to you.
Accounts, tax, bookkeeping, payroll, admin and content. If you need audit support, we'll say so and point you elsewhere.
The first month is real work at both ends. By day 30 it runs itself; before that, expect to be reviewing closely. We'd rather tell you now.
Tell us what's piling up. We'll come back within one working day with who we'd put on it and what it costs.
