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.

Edward FeltonAfter 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.

The town is the administrative quarters of the Medway unitary authority, with important road links and major railway and bus stations operating as the main interchanges for Chatham and the surrounding areas, giving local businesses excellent access to a diverse talent pool and flexible employees. The strong economy in Chatham sees people from all over the province drawn to the area, benefiting from the unique opportunities, affordable commercial real estate, and access to funding and business grants that the town offers. As a rural area, Chatham’s most affluent industries are agriculture and agri-food, with the food processing sector also contributing a significant amount to the Kentish economy.
Finding an accountant that’s right for you can be crucial to the success of your business. If you’re finding yourself increasingly frustrated with your current accountant, constantly left in the dark, or feeling like you’re not really getting value for money, it might be time to consider a change.
At AK Tax, we have a process in place to make switching accountants streamlined and stress-free, with minimal disruption to your business. We’ll help you inform your current accountants, HMRC, and Companies House of your decision, making sure we are assigned permission to deal with your documentation. We will also ask your existing accountant for professional clearance, as well as a disengagement letter outlining the details of the work they have completed along with the key dates relating to your accounts. We will then request that you sign authority over to AK Tax to manage your tax affairs and deal with HMRC.
