Connor Simmons at The Accountancy Partnership handled my company's accounts filing promptly and professionally. He provided clear and comprehensive explanations throughout the process, which made everything straightforward and efficient. I am extremely satisfied with the service and would like to commend Connor for his excellent work. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking reliable and knowledgeable accountancy support.
Jermaine Gordon
Aaron Parkinson is an absolute gem of an accountant, and such a nice guy. He spent so much time reviewing my accounts with me over the phone, before they were agreed and finalised. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the service I continue to receive. Highly recommended.
Graham Price
I am extremely impressed with Ben Salisbury and The Accountancy Partnership's service. As a first-time self-assessment client, I was very late submitting my records and felt stressed about the process. Ben's professionalism and approachability was fantastic, he patiently guided me through everything to ensure my accounts were filed on time.

Deciding how to register your small business
Referring to your business as small or micro describes its size, not the legal structure you use to set it up. It’s up to you to choose how you want to register with HMRC, but the process is different depending on whether you become a sole trader or operate via a limited company. Your structure even affects the way you report and pay tax, so the correct advice is essential!
Your accountant will help you understand the options available for your small business, and guide you through the process of keeping proper records and submitting tax returns to HMRC. We can even register your limited company for you, saving you up to £180!
What accounting services do you need?
Not everyone needs the same type of support, so the skills and experience you want in an accountant could be quite different to what someone else looks for. That said, most businesses must submit tax returns so HMRC can work out how much tax is due, which is why all our packages include the relevant tax return for your business structure.
Unlimited year-round advice and ongoing tax-efficiency reviews from a dedicated accountant can also be very reassuring, helping you make informed decisions and future plans. Your accounting needs might well evolve over time, so even if you’re not yet ready for VAT or payroll services, you might choose an accountant who can help you with these in the future.
Moving to us from another accountant?
The prospect of giving notice to your previous accountant, gathering documents, and moving over to a new accountant can be unsettling. Switching your small business from one accountancy firm to another shouldn’t mean sleepless nights!
It’s why we take care of the entire process for you. We’ll contact your old accountant to request the information we need, set everything up with HMRC so we can act on your behalf, and manage the transition to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Video call your accountant
Schedule video calls with your dedicated accountant for personalised, unlimited advice tailored to your business.
Additional Services

Bookkeeping
