Deciding the right time to get an accountant in Manchester is always tricky.

A local accountant like ourselves comes with plenty of knowledge of the market, having worked with loads of other businesses in Manchester. If you’re running a business, then getting an accountant is always a wise move. It’ll save you time and money, keep you compliant with UK tax laws and give you useful guidance on how to run your business. That way, you’ll be able to focus on doing what you do best.

If you choose the right accountant in Manchester, it can definitely save you money for your business, both directly and indirectly.

There are some obvious ways such as tax savings and reducing your liabilities, but a good accountant can also help you make better financial decisions that could see you saving thousands of pounds. Having worked with lots of businesses in Manchester, we have a great grasp on the local area, and can ensure you’re running your business as cost-efficiently as possible. Getting a good accountant is a solid investment, one that may cost up front, but could save you thousands over the years.

The answer to this depends heavily on your budget, and what you need from an accountant in Manchester.

At Accounts and Legal, our minimum monthly fee is £125, and we strive to grow with our clients on the journey. For our minimum fee you still get an awful lot, including your accounts, CT600, annual payroll, confirmation statements, directors tax returns and access to Xero and Dext. Of course, we can also do a lot more for your business, and for some clients we offer a full outsourced finance function along with legal assistance for when they need it.
