I have been using A&L for my business since launch for more than 2 years and it has been working very efficient. They are very proficient in using the latest technologies, from helping me with my accounts, managing better my costs, helping with my payroll, but also on the legal side, helping me understand better legal documents and registering my trademark. A big praise to Sam Millward, who has been overseeing my account very well there. Cannot recommend more !

Accounts and Legal are always so reliable and their communication is fantastic. As we are an international business they always have time for our queries and provide suitable solution when needed. Special mention to the payroll team for always being attentive.

Stephanie at A&L has been extremely helpful in supporting me with any finance queries I may have. She have offered to complete training for certain aspects that I needed help with, and is always more than happy to assist. Carys has also been great in supporting and facilitating training.

A great team to have on-side.............. Providing a professional but very personal approach, A&L have been a breath of fresh air throughout our business expansion into the UK. Since being introduced to the company, A&L have readily provided sound, practical advice and have managed our accounts meticulously well. Amy and Shagun, which aptly means 'blessing' in India, have been absolute stand-outs in the support they have provided. I would highly recommend A&L to any business/institution looking for solid, long-term financial support. A quick update to this review, a year on and we are still receiving amazing support from A&L. A particular shout-out to our more recent A&L team - Carys and Stephanie in the accounting area and Millie in payroll. Thanks for your ongoing support, patience and good humour. Date of experience: 09 November 2023

We have been with Accounts and Legal a couple of months now and couldn't be happier with their service. From initial onboarding all the staff have been great. Our accountant is Sam Millward and from our first meeting both myself and my business partner felt at ease and confident we had made the right choice. Sam is patient with us, explaining all things finance so we both understand. Thanks Sam, this part of the business is no longer scary for us and actually enjoyable!

I've had the pleasure of working with Sam for my accounting needs, and I couldn't be more impressed. Sam is incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and always goes the extra mile to ensure everything is in order. He’s quick to respond to any questions and takes the time to explain things in an easy-to-understand way. His enthusiasm is infectious, and he consistently goes above and beyond. I’m incredibly grateful to have him as my accountant. Thank you, Sam, for everything you do!

After some pretty disappointing experiences with accountancy firms I have been fortunate to finally find a service that meets my needs. The onboarding has been smooth and Hannah has been brilliant (as have all the team) in helping me with what can be seen as a daunting process. The price is competitive and I am already more positive in the results that can be achieved for my business

We hired A&L for our accounting needs & the process has been absolute bliss. After having a rough time with our previous accountant, Hannah McBride made sure the process of onboarding was smooth & fun. A genuine pleasure to work with!

This is the boring numbers bit...

But fortunately, it’s what we do best.

Even if you’re not a numbers person, you’ll still have full oversight of your figures as they happen with daily bookkeeping, explained in plain English.

Yes, we have a dedicated onboarding team whose job it is to ensure your switch over is as smooth as possible.

It’s a question we get a lot, but fear of switching shouldn’t put you off.  When you switch to us, we’ll contact your previous accountant to collect the handover information we need. Then we’ll set you up on Xero, make sure your data is transferred smoothly, and walk you through everything so you feel confident from day one. It’s our bread and butter, so believe us when we say, you’re in safe hands.

Yes, it's one of our specialisms in fact.

We take pride in being one of the leading accounting firms when it comes to tech in the UK. We use Xero because it speaks the language of business owners, it’s straightforward, intuitive and designed for people who want clarity. You don’t need to be an accountant to understand it either, in your dashboard you can see cashflow, track invoices, check upcoming tax liabilities and much more. As part of the onboarding process, we’ll get you set up on Xero if you’re not already, and we’ll talk you through how to use it. That way you’ll have real-time data to inform your decisions better.

Yes, we handle everything from VAT returns and payroll to corporation tax and self-assessment filings.

Rather than just ticking boxes, we take a proactive approach so you’re never hit by any nasty tax surprises. With regular management accounts and cashflow forecasting, we’ll have an accurate picture of where you’re at and what your tax liability is. That way, we can identify exactly how your business is performing and help put away your tax bill well in advance of the deadline, meaning no more last-minute stress.

Absolutely, this is the core of what we do.

We go further than just compliance, we become a partner to our clients, helping you achieve your business goals. How? Through a combination of regular catch-ups, management accounts, cashflow forecasts, tax planning and legal advice all rolled into one. We help you spot trends, plan for growth and make decisions with confidence. And, when the time is right, we even support with acquisitions, whether you’re looking to acquire another business or you’re preparing for sale.

Traditional accounting is all about recording what's happened through regular bookkeeping and staying compliant.

Business Advisory is where it gets interesting. It’s all about using your numbers to look forward, forecast, plan and grow. Instead of just doing a set of accounts each year, it’s about interpreting the data, spotting risks and identifying opportunities proactively rather than reactively.

Growth is different for every business, but we've worked with enough businesses to tailor our approach.

It might be boosting profitability by looking at pricing and costs. It could be expanding your team or opening a new office. Maybe it’s attracting investment or buyers to your business? The point is, we use your financial data to identify how we make your goals a reality. If you’re unsure whether you can afford that next hire, with better insights, you’ll be able to answer that question easily. In every case, we combine financial insight with practical business advice so you grow in a way that’s sustainable and strategic.
