At Accounting Solutions Manchester, we appreciate their no-nonsense approach. Whether you’re the type who prefers dropping off a box of invoices or scanning and sharing everything digitally, they’ve got a method that works for you. 

One option we loved was their custom Excel workbook—it’s tailored to how your business operates, so you’re not left wrestling with a generic template that doesn’t quite fit. 

What’s more, they don’t just disappear after the initial setup. Their extended hours, including evenings and weekends, mean they’re there when you need them, be it a Sunday evening panic or a midweek question about VAT. 

We did notice, though, that their bespoke services can come at a slightly higher cost. It’s not a dealbreaker, especially if you value the customisation and flexibility they offer, but it’s worth keeping in mind.

Their commitment to keeping things personal is another win in our book. Instead of bouncing between different contacts, you’ll work with the same client manager who knows your business inside and out.

What stood out to us about Amin & Co Accountants was their knack for simplifying end-of-year chaos. Imagine this: you send over your papers monthly, and they handle everything from there until your final accounts are ready. 

Their focus on maintaining accurate records isn’t just about ticking off HMRC’s requirements. It’s also a lifesaver when you’re dealing with banks or looking to optimise your tax bill. 

We particularly appreciated their emphasis on efficiency, which translates to potential savings—always a win for any business.

And let’s talk fees. Their competitive, pay-monthly option is a breath of fresh air. No giant lump sums eating into your cash flow at the end of the year; just manageable, predictable payments that make planning so much easier.

However, their traditional weekday-only hours might not work for everyone. If your bookkeeping issues tend to crop up during weekend brainstorming sessions, this could be a limitation. 

That said, their efficiency during business hours more than makes up for it.

Swift

We were impressed by how A&C Chartered Accountants seamlessly handle the nitty-gritty of bookkeeping, allowing businesses to focus on what they do best: growing and thriving. Let’s face it, no one starts a business dreaming about reconciling bank statements. 

What we loved most was their focus on real-time data. Having up-to-date financial information at your fingertips feels like unlocking a superpower—it makes decision-making a whole lot easier. 

We also noticed their emphasis on using cloud-based tools like Xero (they’re a Gold Partner, no less). It’s a modern touch that keeps everything accessible, even if you’re juggling work on the go. 

Outsourcing your bookkeeping does mean handing over a chunk of responsibility, which might feel daunting at first. But once you see the time it saves and the clarity it brings, it’s hard to imagine going back.

With over 40 years of combined experience, their team is a safe pair of hands (and calculators). 

A pleasure

“I have the pleasure of working with A&C Chartered Accountants, and I couldn’t be happier with their services.”

-Patrick O’connell, Google Review

Impressed

“We have been using A&C Chartered Acountants for a few months and are really impressed with the attention to detail, knowledge and help that they have provided to our company.”

We liked how Accountology doesn’t just handle the basics—they take bookkeeping to the next level by offering services that are flexible enough to fit any business size or stage.

One thing we found particularly handy is their ability to let you decide how involved you want to be. If you’re the type who likes a bit of hands-on action, you can keep your books in-house with off-the-shelf software while they handle the heavy lifting at month’s end. 

But if you’d rather hand it all over, they’ll take the reins entirely, keeping everything up-to-date and balanced. We reckon this level of flexibility is a win for businesses of all shapes and sizes.

Their dedicated bookkeepers feel like an extension of your team. 

We will say that outsourcing bookkeeping does mean there’s a bit of back-and-forth initially to get things set up. But once that’s sorted, the time you’ll save is worth its weight in gold—or at least in stress-free evenings.

Competent

“What a delight! Omar is!! Omar knows his stuff. He is REALLY competent and aware of legislation.”

-Cemi Belka, Google Review

Beyond satisfied

“I am beyond satisfied with the exceptional service provided by my accountant, Mr. Omar Khalid Rashid.”

The first thing we noticed about BCM doesn’t just swoop in with a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, they take the time to understand your business and build a service around what you need. 

What made a mark on us was their emphasis on being local and approachable. We found it refreshing how quick they were to respond to queries—emails and calls were returned in no time. 

We also appreciated their promise to stick to deadlines without making a big song and dance about it. You won’t find any grand gestures here, but the quiet dependability speaks volumes. 

They also make a point to simplify complex financial jargon, so you’re never left scratching your head.

Working with BCM does require you to stay on top of sending them the necessary paperwork. It’s not a set-it-and-forget-it service, but we’d say the effort is worth it for how much time and stress you save in the long run.

Straightforward

“Communication with [BCM Accountants ] is always clear and straightforward. They are responsive, patient, and explain complex financial matters in an easy-to-understand manner.”

-Sabri Musa, Google Review
