EXCELLENT Based on 112 reviews 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 recommend 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. 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. 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 recommend 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. 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. 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! 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. Chloe Jackson29/03/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul and the team are incredibly friendly and professional. Having had no prior experience running a business, their face to face meetings and in person training for Xero software have been invaluable. Sorted.01/03/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been using A&C Chartered Acountants for a few months and are really impressed with the attention to detail, knowledge and help that they have provided to our company. Steph has been great with communication and helped us to stay on top of our business targets!
Whether it’s your first time submitting a tax return or you’ve been doing it for years, it’s always a little unnerving.
There’s a worry that you’ve missed something or filled it in wrong – especially if your financial affairs are a little more complicated than normal (say, for example, you have income from dividends, investments, or property).
Plus, your day-to-day is busy enough. Your time is better spent elsewhere, not crawling through financial records and identifying potential tax reliefs.
That’s where we come in. We can handle all aspects of preparing and submitting your self-assessment tax returns, year after year.
Our service includes:
Finally, after your self-assessment is out of the way, we can advise on the tax-efficient structuring of your finances for the future.
As a Chartered Accountant for over 30 years, we've managed every type of self-assessment you can imagine. Whether your tax affairs are simple or complex, you can trust in our experience.
As an independent, family-owned firm, we build client relationships often lasting many years by offering a personal service that larger firms simply can’t match.
We're proud of our work and the kind feedback we receive from our clients. Check out our reviews and testimonials to see what makes us so well-placed to help you.
Naturally, you will have questions about your tax bill. We'll answer everything you want to know, and provide tailored advice, in a free, no-obligation consultation.
We’re based in Manchester, but we work with anyone who needs to file a self-assessment tax return – regardless of whether you’re local or further away. That includes the self-employed, landlords, investors, trustees, individuals with foreign income, and more.
If you receive income outside of regular employment, such as working for yourself, renting property, or investing, you likely need to complete a self-assessment. We can quickly confirm that for you as part of a consultation.
Registering is simple – it can be done online using HMRC’s website. Just make sure to register by October 5th following the tax year in which you need to file. So, for the 2024-2025 tax year, you must register by October 5th, 2025. We can do this on your behalf.
No, you don’t need an accountant for your self-assessment. It’s perfectly fine to prepare and submit your own tax return. However, many people prefer to use an accountant to ensure accuracy, maximise tax savings, and save time. We handle the entire process to help you stay compliant and avoid penalties.
We offer a free consultation for all new clients – either over the phone or in person. To get started, fill in the contact form or call us on 0161 962 1855.
