I 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.

Edward FeltonWe 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!

Amy SmithA market town that dates back to the Middle Ages, Ashford is nestled into the county of Kent, and continues to hold regular markets to this day. Home to the bustling Ashford Designer Outlet shopping centre, the town has a thriving local economy that benefits largely from the retail sector, with its close proximity to popular attractions such as the Kent Downs and the historical site of Leeds Castle also giving the tourism industry a significant boost. Hospitality in Ashford is huge, with countless restaurants, hotels, and bars to explore.
The arrival of railways in Ashford during the mid-19th century signified a drastic change in the town’s employment opportunities, as it could now operate as a rail hub situated within the centre of five distinct railway lines. Not only does Ashford offer excellent transport links to London, but it is also home to the Ashford International railway station, connecting locals in the town and its surrounding areas to major cities all over Europe and allowing Ashford-based businesses to access a diverse and flexible talent pool.
Finding the right accountant for you and your business is crucial. If you find yourself constantly frustrated with your current accountant, or feel they aren’t taking the time to truly understand the nature of your business, it might be time to consider a change.
Switching accountants might sound daunting, but it doesn’t need to be. At AK Tax, our professional team of tax accountants in Ashford will take the time to make the change as stress-free as possible for our clients, with a streamlined process that minimises any disruption to your business proceedings.
We’ll start by informing your current accountants, HMRC, and Companies House of your decision to move, with a request for assigned permission to deal with your documentation. This process involves a disengagement letter with details of the work your previous accountant has completed, along with any crucial dates relating to your accounts. We also request professional clearance from your previous accountants, before asking you to assign authority to AK Tax to manage your tax affairs and deal with HMRC.
When you work with AK Tax as a new business, we always get you started with support in setting up as a limited company with Companies House, and we’ll also get you kitted out with a shiny new business bank account to house all of your company’s financial procedures.
