What Our Clients Say

  • Amazing company to be with, always have time for you and deal with things straight away. I can't recommend AK enough, Andy and the team have made my life so much more simple.

    James Henderson Avatar James Henderson

    Medfab Ltd have been working with Andy for 2 years now, the service and expertise is 2nd to none. I have had other accountants in the past that came highly recommended but are nowhere in the slightest to the calibre you receive fr AK Tax and accountancy. regards Kevin Harris Medfab ltd Managing Director,

    stephen Nichols Avatar stephen Nichols

    AK Tax are a fantastic company that I wish we'd found years ago. As a small business, we do the reconciling and basic things ourselves, so it's really helpful to have a low cost accountant to check things over and answer any questions we've got. Really good service and value!

    Perry Coppen Avatar Perry Coppen
  • After sitting with several accountants I engaged with Andy & AK Tax and Accountancy to help start our company and look after the accounts. I found Andy to have a welcoming and approachable demeanour which was strengthened by the professional service we received from him and his staff. A professional and reliable service for a reasonable price. If you're in the market for a new accountancy firm or just starting out with your business, then give these guys a call.

    Daniel Jordan Avatar Daniel Jordan

    Left it a bit late with my accounts and tax return, but I got a quick appointment and they managed to get it all sorted out in time. Thanks guys.

FAQs

How do I switch accountants?

Finding the right accountant for your unique business needs is crucial. If you’re struggling with an accountant who isn’t taking the time to fully understand the nature of your business, offer advice where you need it, and provide consistent financial support, it might be time to consider a change.

Switching accountants might sound daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. At AK Tax, we have a streamlined process to guide you through the move with minimal disruption to your business. We start by helping you inform your current accountants, HMRC, and Companies House that you’re making the switch, getting the necessary permission that enables us to deal with your financial documentation. This includes a disengagement letter, outlining the details of the work your previous accountants have completed, along with the relevant dates relating to your accounts.

We will also ask for professional clearance from your previous accountants, before requesting that you assign authority over to AK Tax to manage your tax affairs and deal with HMRC. We’ll be there every step of the way to make the process as stress-free as possible.

What if I am starting a new business?

Setting up a new business doesn’t need to be stressful. When you work with AK Tax, our expert team will help you set up as a limited company with Companies House and guide you through the process of setting up a shiny new business bank account.
