EXCELLENT Based on 110 reviews Posted on Phaethon17/10/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Paul! You put to rest 8 months of headache and back and forth emails with my past employers, and seemingly impossible P45 issues.Posted on michaela longden02/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can I say? Paul has been an absolute lifesaver. After making the mistake of investing in the wrong accountant during my first year as a limited company, I felt overwhelmed and under-supported, until I found Paul. From our very first call, he gave me so much valuable, actionable information that I instantly knew I wanted to work with him. Paul consistently goes above and beyond. His knowledge is exceptional, his passion for what he does is evident, and his communication is always clear, timely, and supportive. I never feel like I’m navigating this alone. He answers every question, no matter how big or small, and regularly arranges check-ins that genuinely support both me and my business. When you're starting a company, it can be scary. You need someone who truly cares and knows what they’re doing and that’s exactly what I found in Paul. Choosing him and his team has been one of the best business decisions I’ve ever made. Thank you for everything. I cannot recommend you highly enough.Posted on Neil Tarbuck25/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Spoke to Paul over the phone regarding advice for self-assessment over my capital gains payment. He gave me the confidence to fill out the application form and make the payment myself; now A&C will be my first choice for any tax/accountancy problem in the future. Highly recommendPosted on Brody Gibson12/02/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A&C Chartered Accountants were very helpful, Steph helped massively. Will be deefinitely using them again in the future.Posted on Maria04/02/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On Jan 28th this year, I checked into my HMRC account to fill in my self assessment as usual where I found out that I owe HMRC 12000 pounds! This was a big surprise to me and I had no idea what was going on. I desperately called different accounting firms to help me, however as you can imagine, all firms were fully booked and no one had time before the 31st Jan deadline. After checking several firms, I called A&C as one of the firms popping up in my google search and Paul was very kind to help me. He used an app, connected to my laptop, went through my P60 and P45 and quickly making the calculation. As it turned out, my employer made a mistake and used a wrong tax code and hence I was actually owing HMRC the money. He was highly efficient and knowledgable, went above and beyond to help me and didn't even charge me for the time he spent on the phone with me. I highly recommend their service and would definitely use them in future, whenever I need help with tax or accounting.Posted on Tom28/01/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been with this team for about 6 months now. I moved to A&C from a large accountancy group who just gave me no time. I would honestly say that the advice and support I have received here has led to my small business growing faster than expected. Brilliant value for money. Very glad I changed. Highly recommendPosted on Louise & Paul FG28/01/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having never had a Personal Accountant or Tax advisor, I met (in person) with the team at A&C to discuss 3 things which I needed advice on - and to see if they could help. During the 45 minutes we went through my points, but A&C ended up advising me I could achieve most of these things myself (rather than pay a service). They provided some advice on where to look, and I was thankful for their honesty and openness! Would recommend to anyone who doesn't know if they need professional support or not, A&C will advise you the best path to follow.Posted on Jack23/09/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul is incredible. I received a surprise penalty from the HMRC and this was my first time working with an accountant and couldn't have been any happier with Paul. He took his time to understand the problem over the phone, connected to my computer to look at my accounts and within less than 15 minutes had identified the issue and made really sound recommendations. I'll certainly be using Paul moving forward, highly recommend.Posted on Rebecca Johnston20/09/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul has been very helpful especially as this is my first time ever dealing with accountants very informative and efficient. Thank you!Posted on Lewis Pierce05/04/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul was extremely helpful. He gave me solid advice for all of my queries. I would highly recommend if you want professional and personable solutions to any of your business needs. Thank you for your help Paul; I’m excited to work with you again in the very near future.
The tax system in the UK can be quite confusing, especially if you work for yourself, have multiple sources of income, or own different assets. For example, owning properties that generate rental income, investing in the stock market, or receiving dividends from a business – these situations all have potential tax implications.
Confusion arises from the fact that there are so many different types of tax, each with its own thresholds, allowances, and reliefs. It’s no wonder many find it overwhelming.
Yet, with tax laws changing regularly, falling foul of the rules could leave you staring down the face of an HMRC investigation.

From 6 April 2026, employees will no longer be able to claim a tax deduction for expenses incurred while working from home.

For some employees, this change may appear to result in paying tax twice on a benefit in the first year. This will usually reflect a transition period, where tax is being paid in real time on current benefits while tax relating to benefits from earlier years is still being settled.

As we move into the new year, it is a good time to review the key tax dates and obligations coming up over the next couple of months.
