A&C are an excellent accountancy practice. The Joseph Cox Charity has utilised their services for many years and as a fully audited multi million pound charity it is very important that our finance partners are best in class.Posted on Google![]()

I spoke to Steph and asked her for help understanding the CGT and IHT implications of a property transaction I was planning. The following day, she kindly provided me with the information I needed. It was clearly explained and covered all the points I'd raised. I found her to be very friendly and polite, and was impressed with the quality of service she provided.Posted on Google![]()

We decided to go with AC Accountants for our start up business CarLer and so far we are very happy with the decision. Paul and Ann are fast at responding, have good attention to detail, and very good at explaining the whole process.Posted on Google![]()

AI located A&C as a good choice for property accounting advice, especially as they offer an initial free consultation. After an first contact, a free consultation was quickly arranged and one of their staff, Steph Chiu was very helpful on the call and in a follow up email, although in the end she felt another company was better placed to offer us more specialist advice.Posted on Google![]()

I have had one or two accountants in my life and I can say that A&C are friendly and professional but so were the others when the sun was shining. However in this pandemic more truer colours have been revealed in so many ways and it would have been oh so easy to adopt an attitude of 'every man for himself' which I have experienced from others long long ago, but as a breath of welcome fresh air I have found that A&C went above and beyond and couldn't have been any more supportive. A&C have shown their true colours and in my experience warrant five stars and I for one owe them my gratitude. I think this is my second google review ever, which says it all really as sometimes you just want to give credit to where credit is due.Posted on Google![]()

Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax is bringing significant changes to the way landlords and self-employed individuals manage and report their tax affairs.
Buying a car through your business might seem like a straightforward way to reduce costs, particularly if you regularly travel for work. However, when it comes to reclaiming VAT on a company car, HMRC has some strict rules.
Cryptoassets have moved firmly into the financial mainstream, with more people now holding Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital assets alongside traditional investments. However, there is still a common misconception that crypto transactions are anonymous or somehow sit outside the UK tax system.
From 6 April 2026, Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax became mandatory for many sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000.
