We pass many high-value transactions through our property companies, and AK Tax & Accountancy have always helped us to get things sorted out. We have also been able to move onto Xero software which has made the bookkeeping so much easier. We have been with this company for a number of years and I have no hesitation in writing this strong review. A good company to work with!

Edward FeltonMedfab Ltd have been working with Andy for 2 years now, the service and expertise is 2nd to none.

stephen NicholsI was looking for a firm of accountants who use Xero as I needed all the facilities it offers. Andy at AK Tax is a great guy and he made the whole process really simple. I really like the fixed fee packages as it means I know what my outgoings are each month. Even though they're based in Kent working with my accountant online is easy and I'm always up-to-date with how the business is performing.
Paul MorrisAfter 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 JordanAmazing 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.

Overlooking the English Channel, the town evolved from a strategic port to a modern cultural hub, with the captivating Leas promenade providing stunning views and the innovative Harbour Arm offering artistic energy and a range of diverse cuisine for locals and tourists alike to sample.
Renowned for the Channel Tunnel, Folkestone offers excellent transport links for mainland UK to Europe, acting as a business hub for professionals and entrepreneurs to travel between. This plays a significant role in Folkestone’s local economy, as does its Creative Quarter with its booming arts scene, and the Old High Street with its exciting blend of boutique shops and eateries.
