Not sure where your books or tax bill stand?
Most business owners reach a point where the accounts are a few months behind, a VAT return is looming, and the only way to know the tax position is to guess. That is manageable in year one — it gets harder as the business grows, and considerably more expensive the longer it is left.
- You are not certain what you owe in tax until the bill actually arrives.
- Your previous accountant was hard to reach and rarely offered any useful advice.
- The books are behind and you are not sure where to even start catching up.
What sorted looks like
When your books are current and your accountant is proactive, the surprises largely disappear. You know your numbers, you know what is coming, and you can make decisions with confidence rather than assumption.
- Your tax bill is visible months in advance, not the week it is due.
- Questions get a same-day answer from someone who already knows your situation.
- VAT, payroll, and year-end accounts are handled before deadlines become a problem.
- Your books are current, accurate, and ready whenever you need them.
How clients describe working with us

I cannot rate this company highly enough. I started off with an incredible expensive company who I could never reach or get good advice from – then THANKFULLY found Hasan who has been our accountant ever since. He always responds to messages and calls so quickly, has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is absolutely trustworthy. He’s kind, response, easy to deal with, and really a great member to make up your team. 10/10 recommend.
Hasan at Edward Harris has been superb for us. He has organised our books, compiled documentation for HMRC and been proactive with advice. Best accountant I have used.
The services your business actually needs
From day-to-day bookkeeping through to corporation tax, everything is handled as part of an ongoing relationship — not a one-off job.
Books that stay current
Your bookkeeping is kept up to date throughout the year using Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent — whichever suits your business. You always know what is in the accounts without having to chase anyone or wait for a year-end scramble.

MTD compliantTax you can plan around
Self assessment, corporation tax, and year-end accounts are all managed proactively. You will know your tax liability well in advance — not when the payment is due — which means you can set money aside with confidence rather than scrambling at the last minute.

A different kind of accountant
There are plenty of accountants in Oldham. Here is what makes working with us feel noticeably different.
Clarity over your numbers, year-round
You will not be handed a set of accounts once a year and left to work out what they mean. We focus on giving you a clear picture of your finances throughout the year — so you can make better decisions, not just stay compliant.
Questions answered the day you ask
When something comes up — a new contract, an HMRC letter, a question about whether to go VAT-registered — you get an answer that day. Clients use phone, email, and WhatsApp. You will not be waiting a week for a reply to a straightforward question.
A partner in your business, not a processor
We are not here to file your returns and move on. Proactive advice throughout the year — on tax planning, cash flow, and business decisions — means issues are spotted before they become costly, and you have someone in your corner who understands your business.
How it works
From first contact to fully onboarded, the process is straightforward and takes less time than you might expect.
Get in touch
Call, email, or use the contact form. We reply the same day. Initial conversations are free and without pressure — there is no obligation to proceed, and no sales patter.
Free initial conversation
We discuss your business, your current setup, and what you actually need. You ask questions, we give straight answers. At the end you will know exactly what is involved and what it would cost.
We handle the switch
If you have a previous accountant, we deal with the handover. If your books are behind, we get them current. You do not need to do anything complicated to get started — that is our job.
Ongoing, proactive support
Once you are set up, we manage your accounts, VAT, tax, and payroll throughout the year. You have direct access to Hasan whenever something comes up, with no waiting queue and no hourly clock ticking.
“We have been working with Hasan for almost a year. He’s been very helpful providing us with knowledge as new business owners. It’s great we can WhatsApp for general queries, making communication more efficient.”
Questions we get asked most often
Less time on your accounts. More on your business.
