Accountants that offer more...
Our Liverpool accountants help business owners get more from their finance function, with clear advice, reliable reporting and practical support throughout the year.
Whether you need a new accountant, more visibility over your numbers or a team that can manage everything from bookkeeping and payroll to tax and financial planning, we can shape our support around your business.
More than just year-end accounts
We work as part of your business, giving you proactive advice, regular contact and a clearer view of what is coming next.
- Regular advice and reporting, not just annual compliance
- Accounting, tax, payroll and legal support under one roof
- Xero-based systems and up-to-date financial information
- A Liverpool team you can speak to when you need help
It means fewer surprises, better-informed decisions and an accountant who understands where your business is heading.
Accountancy support built around your business
We work with Liverpool-based SMEs across all kinds of industries, from business owners switching accountants to established companies looking for more complete financial support.
We are particularly well suited to businesses that:
- Want more regular advice from their accountant
- Need better reporting and cash flow visibility
- Are growing beyond basic bookkeeping and year-end accounts
- Want accounting, tax, payroll and legal support in one place
- Would rather have us manage the finance function than build a full team internally
Whatever your industry or stage of growth, we’ll take the time to understand how your business works and provide the right level of support as it develops.
How our accountants can help
- Day-to-day accounting: Bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, annual accounts and ongoing compliance.
- Better financial visibility: Management accounts, cash flow forecasting, budgets and regular performance reviews.
- Tax advice: Corporation tax, personal tax, remuneration planning and support with more complex transactions.
- A fully managed finance function: For businesses that want us to handle everything, we can provide the people and expertise you would normally need to build internally, from bookkeeping through to financial controller and FD-level support.
- Business and legal support: Commercial contracts, employment matters, buying or selling a business, due diligence and restructuring.
Whether you need help with one particular area or want us to manage the full finance function, we can shape our support around your business and adapt it as your needs change.
Helping a client take control of their finances
A bit about us...
Accounts and Legal was founded on the belief that business owners should expect more from their accountant than just a set of figures at the end of the year.
Since then, we’ve grown into an award-winning team supporting hundreds of businesses across the UK. Our clients range from one-person companies finding their feet to complex, multimillion-pound businesses with larger teams and more involved financial needs.
That experience means we understand that no two businesses need exactly the same thing. Whether you need help staying on top of the essentials or want a team that can support the wider business, we’ll shape our service around where you are now and where you want to go next.

Rachel Duncan
Head of LegalYour accountancy team
in Liverpool
Our Liverpool office is based at the Tea Factory
on Wood Street. You will have a named point of contact,
backed by specialists across accounting,
tax, payroll, legal and corporate finance.
What will it cost?
It really depends on what you need. Some clients come to us for annual accounts and tax returns, while others want us to look after everything from bookkeeping and payroll to reporting and financial planning. We’ll talk through what would genuinely be useful and give you a clear price before anything begins.
Do I need to be based in Liverpool?
Not at all. We work with businesses across Liverpool, Merseyside and further afield. You can meet us at our Liverpool office, speak to us over the phone or work with us online. Whatever suits you best.
What kind of businesses do you work with?
All sorts. Our clients range from new and owner-managed businesses to established companies with larger teams and more complicated finances. We don’t try to squeeze everyone into the same package, so the support you receive will be shaped around how your business actually works.
How difficult is it to switch accountants?
It’s usually much easier than people expect. We’ll speak to your current accountant, arrange the transfer of your records and take care of the relevant HMRC authorisations. We’ll also review where things currently stand so nothing important gets lost during the handover.
Will I hear from you more than once a year?
Yes. We can handle the essentials, such as annual accounts, bookkeeping and payroll, but we can also help you understand what is happening in the business throughout the year. That might include regular reporting, cash flow forecasts, budgets or simply having someone available to talk through the numbers with you.
Can you look after everything for us?
We can. If you’d rather not build a full finance team internally, we can provide the support you need, from bookkeeping and payroll through to financial controller and FD-level input. You can start with the areas causing the biggest headache and add more support as the business develops.
What if I need tax or legal advice?
Our accountants work alongside our tax and legal teams, so you don’t have to find a different adviser every time something new comes up. Whether it’s a tax question, a commercial contract, an employment issue or buying or selling a business, we can bring in the right person when needed.
Can we meet face to face?
Of course. Our Liverpool office is based at the Tea Factory on Wood Street. We’re equally happy to work over the phone or through online meetings, depending on what’s easiest for you.
