Why people use this instead of searching Google

Searching 'accountant near me' gives you a long list with no way to know who's right for you. This does that part for you.

Check Mark Local or remote — your choice

Most accountants now work with clients across the UK remotely. If you want someone local, we factor that in. If you're open to remote, the options are wider.

Check Mark One form. No chasing.

Submit once. If there's a match, an accountant contacts you. No ringing around, no repeating yourself to firms that aren't relevant.

Check Mark Free. No obligation.

No charge to submit. Speaking to an accountant doesn't commit you to anything. Walk away if it's not right.

What do people use this for?

Most people come here for one of these reasons — if yours isn't listed, the form can still help.

1

Self Assessment and personal tax returns

A return outstanding, rental income to declare, dividends or capital gains. An accountant handles it accurately and on time — no risk of costly errors.

2

Small business and limited company accounting

Year-end accounts, Corporation Tax, Companies House filings, director pay, dividends. The right accountant takes the admin off your hands — and often saves you more than their fee.

3

Self-employed and sole trader support

Your finances may be simple, but they're easy to get wrong. An accountant makes sure your Self Assessment is correct and your expenses are fully claimed.

4

VAT registration and returns

Not sure if you need to register or which scheme applies? An accountant clears this up quickly — and getting it wrong carries real penalties.

5

Payroll and employer obligations

Payroll, RTI submissions, auto-enrolment pensions, payslips. An accountant keeps you compliant without the stress.

6

Contractor accounting and IR35

Working through a limited company? IR35 requires specialist knowledge. A contractor accountant structures things correctly from the start.

7

Switching accountants

If your current firm is slow or just not right anymore, switching is simpler than most people think. Your new accountant handles the handover.

Why the wrong accountant costs more than no accountant at all

Not every accountant is right for every situation. A firm that's great for limited companies may have no experience with CIS contractors. A practice handling Self Assessment returns all day may not be the right call for a landlord with a capital gains question. Picking whoever comes up first online is a gamble.

This service matches your enquiry to an accountant who handles work like yours regularly — not one who'll learn on the job at your expense.

Does it have to be a local accountant?

Not unless you want it to be. Most accountancy work — Self Assessment, company accounts, VAT, payroll — is done entirely online. What matters is whether the accountant understands your situation, communicates clearly, and responds promptly. Many people find a remote firm more accessible than a local office they visited once a year.

If you want someone covering your area, your postcode is taken into account. But don't rule out remote — it's often better value and more responsive.

Thinking of switching accountants?

More common than people expect, and simpler than most assume. If your current firm is slow, hard to reach, or just not keeping up with where your business is now — you're not stuck with them. Your new accountant handles the handover. No confrontation, no disruption to your accounts.

What should an accountant cost?

A straightforward Self Assessment return typically costs £200–£500. A limited company with VAT and payroll is usually a monthly retainer, with fees varying by size and complexity. Any accountant you speak to through this service will give you a clear breakdown upfront — no surprise bills for routine work.

Frequently Asked Questions

I just need my tax return done — is this right for me?

Yes. Self Assessment is the most common reason people use this service. Whether it's your first return or you've missed a deadline, an accountant will handle it correctly and promptly.

Can you find someone local to me?

Your postcode is part of the process. Most accountants now work remotely across the UK, so the nearest firm isn't always the best fit — but if you want someone local, that's taken into account.

I run a small business — will this find someone relevant?

Yes. Small business accounting is different from a one-off tax return. Your enquiry is considered in that context — not treated as a generic request.

Is this a directory I search through myself?

No. You answer a few questions and your enquiry is directed to a suitable accountant. You're not handed a list to evaluate yourself.

What happens after I submit the form?

If there's a suitable match, an accountant contacts you. That first conversation is yours — ask about their experience, fees, and how they work. Nothing is agreed until you choose to proceed.

How much does an accountant cost?

It depends on the work. A straightforward Self Assessment return typically costs £200–£500. A limited company with VAT and payroll is usually a monthly retainer. Any accountant you speak to will give you a clear breakdown before anything is agreed.

Is this free?

Yes. No charge to submit an enquiry. If you later engage an accountant, their fees are agreed directly with them.
