Built to give UK firms access to qualified CA talent.

EarthOne Accounting LLP is part of the AccountingBaba group, founded by Ketul Patel, a Chartered Accountant with more than 10 years of experience across MSME accounting, finance staffing and training across India and the UAE.

We built EarthOne to give UK accounting firms and UK businesses access to qualified CA talent at a transparent cost: prices published, contracts on one month's notice, and data protection in place from the first file.

We are not trying to be the biggest firm in this space. We are trying to be the most reliable one for the clients who choose us.

Our story →

A decade of building accounting talent. Now serving UK clients.

When you outsource accounting work, you are trusting someone with your clients' numbers or your own business finances. That trust has to be earned. Here is the background EarthOne brings to that responsibility.

Training

AccountingBaba Training Institute

Founded in 2018, AccountingBaba is Surat's oldest CA-run accounting training institute. Three branches. Curriculum covering Tally, Excel, finance software, compliance workflows and AI tools for accounting practitioners.

What this means for you as a UK client

You are not engaging a start-up. You are working with a group that has spent a decade building talent pipelines, placing finance professionals and working at board level. EarthOne brings that depth to UK accounting firms and businesses that need qualified CA support, at published prices, on one month's notice.

AI-Ready Team

Our team uses AI-assisted workflows for document review, working paper preparation and quality checks. This means your files move faster, errors are caught earlier, and your review time is reduced.

We apply the same discipline internally that we teach in the classroom. AI is not a selling point here. It is how we work.

Two types of client. One standard of work.

For UK Businesses
Stop paying London prices for routine accounting work.

If you run a UK SME, you do not need a full-time in-house accountant to keep clean books, file VAT on time, and run payroll without errors. You need a qualified accountant available when you need one, at a sensible cost.

  • Bookkeeping from £12.50/hour
  • VAT return preparation and MTD-compliant submission
  • Monthly management accounts
  • Payroll including RTI and pension auto-enrolment
  • Personal tax (self-assessment) returns
Outsource your back office
For UK Accounting Firms
Add qualified offshore capacity without adding headcount.

UK accounting firms are dealing with a well-documented capacity problem. MTD for ITSA, live from 6 April 2026, has added quarterly filing deadlines for every affected sole trader and landlord client.

  • Dedicated resource from £1,200/month, full-time bookkeeper
  • Ad hoc work from £16.50/hour for accounting and year-end
  • No 12-month lock-in, one calendar month's notice either way
  • Every team member holds an Indian CA qualification
  • GDPR-aligned DPA signed before work begins
