Maria04/02/2025On 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Tom28/01/2025I’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 recommendTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Louise & Paul FG28/01/2025Having 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Jack23/09/2024Paul 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Your time is better spent growing your business, not grappling with spreadsheets and receipts. Plus, managing your books can quickly turn into a headache.
If you want to alleviate that stress and free up your time, then an outsourced bookkeeping service is the way to go.
Here at A&C, we’re glad to be able to offer several services that relate to the various aspects of financial control and bookkeeping.
From online VAT submissions and credit control to payroll and RTI submissions, you and your business can rest assured that all of your financial requirements are being dealt with accordingly, all in line with the legislation that rules the industry.
Not only does that save you time and effort, but it means you’ll have access to accurate financial data at any given moment, from cash flow to outstanding invoices – aiding your decision-making and business planning.

Beyond bookkeeping, our dedicated team of chartered accountants has over 40 years of combined experience. We can provide full accounting services to help your business stay financially healthy.
We aim to take the stress away and keep you doing what you do best.
As Xero Gold Partners, we utilise online tools for 24/7 management. Stay on top of your finances with seamless, round-the-clock access.
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.
Our mission is to support your growth, ease financial worries, and take your business to the next level. Let’s streamline your finances, and achieve long-term success.
Bookkeeping is the day-to-day maintenance and recording of financial information within a business. For example, reconciling transactions, issuing invoices, paying bills, and more. It’s a legal requirement to maintain such records for limited companies, making bookkeeping incredibly important. Plus, good bookkeeping makes it easier to perform more advanced accounting, like producing financial reports and preparing tax returns.
You should be maintaining and updating your books regularly. Weekly works for most businesses, although if you have fewer transactions then monthly is fine. If you don’t have the time to do your bookkeeping, then you might want to look at outsourcing to a professional bookkeeper (like us!).
If you’re struggling to keep your financial records up-to-date, finding it difficult to stay on top of invoices and expenses, or you’re spending too much time on admin tasks rather than growing your business, it’s a good sign that you could benefit from bookkeeping support.
We’re based in Manchester, although we can work remotely with clients across the UK. Our happy customers include a huge range of organisations, from sole traders and small businesses to startups and large firms.
We’re a Xero Gold Partner, meaning we have extensive experience with that platform. We can get you set up with Xero, or help you make the switch from another platform if needed.
Most businesses will now use some form of cloud accounting software, especially with the UK’s Making Tax Digital initiative. While these platforms make certain tasks smoother, they still require regular upkeep and accurate data entry. Bookkeepers help set up and manage your software, ensuring your books are being run effectively, efficiently, and in compliance with the law.
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 to find out more about the best bookkeeping Manchester has to offer.
