Sound familiar?
Still not sure your QuickBooks is set up right?

Why Manchester businesses choose us over other accountants
Most accountants file what is needed and wait to hear from you. We work differently.
QuickBooks kept accurate, not just open
Setting up QuickBooks is one thing. Keeping it accurate month to month is another. We handle configuration, reconciliation, and category management so the numbers you see are actually reliable. There is no point having cloud accounting software if nobody is checking it.
Your tax bill visible well in advance
We monitor your numbers throughout the year rather than calculating your tax position at the last moment. You know roughly what is coming months before the deadline — which means you can plan for it rather than react to it. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
Questions answered the day you ask
Waiting a fortnight for a reply from your accountant is common. It should not be. Contact us by phone, email, or WhatsApp and you hear back the same day. Simple questions get straightforward answers, quickly, without the need to book a formal appointment.
Up and running in four steps
Switching accountants sounds like effort. In practice it takes one conversation, a few days, and very little from you.
Get in touch
Call, email, or fill in the form. We reply the same day. The initial conversation is free and there is no pressure to proceed — it is just a conversation.
Free initial conversation
We discuss your business, your current QuickBooks setup, and what you need. You will leave the call with a clear picture of what we would do and what it would cost — no vague proposals, no follow-up sales calls.
We take over the books
We handle the transfer from your previous accountant or pick up wherever your QuickBooks currently stands. If there is catch-up work needed, we agree the cost upfront before starting anything.
Clean books, considerably less to worry about
Your QuickBooks is reconciled, your tax is visible, and you are not scrambling at year end or every quarter. Questions get answered the day you ask them. That is largely the point.
“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.”
A few things people usually ask
Do you work with QuickBooks specifically, or will you push us towards a different platform?
We are certified in QuickBooks Online as well as Xero and FreeAgent. If you are already on QuickBooks, we work with it — there is no pressure to switch platforms. If you are starting from scratch and QuickBooks suits your business, we will configure it correctly and keep it that way. The software decision is yours.
What does QuickBooks accounting support actually cost?
Pricing is fixed monthly and agreed upfront — no hourly rates, no unexpected invoices for extra work. The fee covers bookkeeping, VAT returns, and year-end accounts, with additional services such as payroll and Self Assessment available if needed. Get in touch and we will give you a clear figure based on your specific circumstances.
My QuickBooks is in a bit of a state. Can you sort it out?
Yes. We regularly take on clients whose books have fallen behind or been set up incorrectly. If there is significant catch-up or tidying needed, we assess the position and agree the cost with you before starting. It is not unusual and it is generally less painful to address than people expect.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. We work on a monthly rolling basis. If it is not working for you, you give notice and leave. Your books are clean and up to date, and we handle the handover to your next accountant professionally. There is nothing to sign that ties you in for a year.
Can you handle Making Tax Digital through QuickBooks?
Yes. QuickBooks Online is MTD-compatible for VAT and we file directly from the platform. We also monitor HMRC guidance on forthcoming MTD for Income Tax changes so you are prepared well in advance of any new obligations landing on your desk.
Will I know what my tax bill is before the filing deadline?
Yes — that is the practical benefit of keeping the books current throughout the year. Rather than calculating your tax position in January for a January deadline, we give you a clear picture well in advance so you can plan for the payment without it arriving as a surprise.
