I had an outstanding experience with my accountant. They were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of completing my UK tax return. Not only were they knowledgeable and efficient, but also exceptionally kind and patient. They guided me step by step, explained everything clearly, and made what could have been a stressful procedure feel easy and manageable. I truly appreciate the dedication and support they provided. Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. I highly recommend their services and will definitely work with them again in the future.

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.

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.

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 recommend

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.

How can we help?

The tax system in the UK can be 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.

It’s no wonder many find it overwhelming – there are so many different types of tax, each with its own thresholds, allowances, and reliefs. Yet, with tax laws changing regularly, falling foul of the rules could leave you staring down the face of an HMRC investigation.

We can help. From our offices in Manchester, we provide a range of services to help you stay compliant, including:

FAQs

Who do you help?

Our tax services are ideal for anyone with complex tax affairs, such as self-employed individuals, landlords, investors, and company directors. In fact, if you submit a self-assessment tax return each year, or think you might need to start doing so, then you are likely to be someone who will benefit from our services.

Can you help reduce my personal tax liabilities?

It will depend on your situation, but we will identify any, and all, opportunities to reduce your liabilities through strategic tax planning and through the use of valid reliefs and exemptions. This will be done in full compliance with UK law and HMRC regulations.

How do your fees work?

We operate on a transparent, fixed-fee basis. You’ll know the cost upfront, with no hidden charges, so you can budget confidently.

Can you help with HMRC tax investigations?

What should I do if I’ve missed a tax deadline or made a mistake on my return?

If you’ve missed a tax deadline or made an error, you could be penalised by HMRC. Typically, the longer you leave it, the worse it can get. We’ll help you rectify the mistake by submitting amended returns or communicating with HMRC to minimise penalties and interest.

Can you assist with international tax matters?

Yes, we offer advice on cross-border tax issues, such as managing UK tax liabilities for non-residents, handling double taxation relief, and navigating the tax implications of overseas income and investments.
