Limited Company Accountants in London
Running a limited company comes with real responsibilities, statutory accounts, corporation tax, VAT, payroll, and staying on the right side of HMRC. It’s a lot to manage alongside actually running your business.
At Accounting People, we’re specialist limited company accountants based in London, and we make all of that straightforward. We work with company directors, contractors, freelancers and small business owners across London, including Harrow, Edgware, Watford, Stanmore, Wembley and Middlesex, as well as clients throughout the UK who prefer the reassurance of a dedicated, qualified accountant they can actually talk to.
Whether you need help with your annual accounts, corporation tax planning, salary and dividend structuring, or just someone to keep everything compliant and on time, we’ve got it covered.
Kind regards

My account manager, Asim, has been exceptionally helpful — he explains everything clearly, responds quickly, and makes the whole process smooth and stress-free. I genuinely feel valued as a client.

As someone juggling multiple businesses, having accountants I can fully trust has made a huge difference. I highly recommend Accounting People Ltd to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and friendly firm to handle their accounts.
Ian Luke and his team run an extremely professional outfit. When I first transitioned to a limited company, they guided me through the entire setup process and explained everything clearly, making what could have been a complicated journey feel straightforward and well-supported.
I have been assigned a dedicated Account Manager, Umair Iqbal, who has been nothing short of outstanding. He’s always available when I call, and if he’s tied up, he gets back to me the same day without fail. He explains everything patiently and clearly, is proactive in keeping me compliant, and genuinely takes the stress out of my company’s tax obligations. I’ve even entrusted them with my personal tax returns, and the service there has been just as seamless.
Accounting People handle all my VAT returns, corporation tax, and the full range of services you’d expect for managing a company’s tax liability — professionally, efficiently, and with real attention to detail.
After six years with them, I can confidently say they’re a firm you can trust. Highly recommended to any contractor or small business owner looking for dependable, responsive, top-quality accounting support.
