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.

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.

Needed advice and support for self assessment tax return. A&C responded really quickly. Paul massively helped me and gave me loads of information about my tax return, he talked through details in a really understandable way and gave me the reassurance about my tax return. Thank you so much Paul really appreciate your time.

Steph and the team at A&C supported me with my small business from 2018 - 2023. Through every step of the journey, their customer service and supportive approach was 5-star. Steph took the time to get to know me and my objectives and offered solution focused clarity to all the aspects of running a business that can seem daunting when first becoming self-employed! Would recommend to any small business looking for assistance.

Great local firm of accountants. Have taken all the stress out of both my personal and business accounting. The high level of customer service and approachability at A&C have kept me as a client for 3 years plus now, together with them being local, as sometimes its best to discuss things face to face.

Selina and Paul were incredibly helpful. We spoke at length about all aspects of the accounts procedure and afterwards I had a much better understanding of how everything worked. Glad to be working with them and very happy to have them on side. Also, seems like a great working atmosphere, really friendly staff and good people all round.

I searched a lot for a reliable accountant, read countless reviews online. In the end, I chose AC Chartered Accountants. And my choice and vote of confidence was confirmed! They reply always within a few hours (if not straight away!), regardless how small and simple my query or issue might be. I was completely clueless when I set up my Ltd as to UK tax laws and system. Paul and Chloe showed patience and where EXTREMELY helpful from the start, setting up my whole account, sufficiently explaining everything! I feel confident in my steps forward with them. 100% recommend, I have already started recommending them to fellow Contractors in the Construction Managers environment!

We have been working with A&C since 2015 and they have always been of great support to our small business. Paul and his team are always up to date with the latest trends in accounting and they always offered unbiased and impartial opinions, to help us make our choices. Joshua, our Account Manager, has a lot of patience and will spend all the time we need, supporting completing the accounting tasks and explaining the processes. We can easily reach out to him and he has always been happy to answer all our questions and to explain the solutions to any accounting problem, all this in a very friendly way.

Setting up our own LTD company as creatives felt like a very daunting task, but having A&C accountants on hand has been absolutely invaluable to make it a smooth and dare I say it fun process!From the first meeting with Paul who broke down in detail our responsibilities as a business, to being set up with the software and having a team of people to promptly answer all our queries and questions has filled us with the confidence that we are in good hands.I highly recommend to anyone looking to start a company to use their excellent service.

I can’t recommend Paul at A&C Chartered Accountants highly enough. I was setting up a limited company for the first time and Paul made it such a hassle free experience. I am now running the business with his service and I am very happy with it. His turnaround time is amazing, if you have a question/unsure how to do certain things then he is available to explain to you or show you how.

A&C Chartered Accountants offer a tailored service to your specific business demands and that is something I experienced first hand as Paul and the team helped me set up my company.Amazing , supportive and exceptional are what I would describe A&C Chartered Accountants, it is always a pleasant experience when ever I need my queries answered and I have never walked away without a satisfactory response.I would extremely recommend any individual or business looking for an accountancy firm to come here, their attention to detail and interest in understanding your business alone will convince you that you have made the correct decision.

If only every accountant was as good as A&C. Paul helped me through the initial set up and info collection and makes the whole process seem straightforward. Everyone I've dealt with has been knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend.

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.

I am so happy I chose A&C Chartered Accountants as my accountant! It's probably one of the best business decisions I made this year. Paul is really knowledgeable and always covers everything thoroughly. I am impressed with how much work they put into it, Paul always delivers on all the services that are advertised. He is really professional and always easy to get in touch with (today I just had a 45 minutes call with him). When I needed a letter to open my business account, Chloe sent it to me on the same day that I had requested it. I would really really recommend A&C Chartered Accountants, worth every penny.
