I’ve been using Accounting People for ten years now since I started my own business and I’m pleased to say they make my life so much easier when it comes to company tax. I regularly deal with Umair who helps me with every small detail of my accounts and is very quick to respond to any queries I have.
The end of year tax call is no stress at all for me because I know the team look after everything for me.
They then submit their finished accounts onto an easy to use online portal for me to check over and sign and, done!
I would highly recommend them as a small business owner.

I've had an excellent experience working with Accounting People. Their deep understanding of tax regulations and proactive approach to tax efficiency have helped me make the most of my financial position while staying fully compliant. They consistently identify opportunities to optimise my tax strategy, which has made a real difference.

What I appreciate most is their clear and responsive communication. Whether it's explaining complex matters in simple terms or keeping me updated on key deadlines and changes, they are always professional, approachable, and reliable.

I highly recommend Accounting People to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and communicative accounting firm that truly adds value.

I’ve been with them since day one, introduced by a friend who still trusts their services today. From incorporating my company with Companies House to giving me clear, tax-efficient advice, they’ve always been professional, reliable, and genuinely invested in my success.

What I really value is the personal touch — they don’t just “do the numbers,” they take time to understand my goals and go the extra mile. As I start a new venture, a quick chat turned into the partner offering their full support, even stepping in to handle due diligence without hesitation.

It’s rare to find accountants who combine expertise with such genuine care. I honestly couldn’t ask for more

I've been a customer of Accounting People for over a decade now, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with their service.

Their advice has helped me save time, reduce tax burdens, and stay financially organised—something that’s been invaluable in my busy professional life. One moment that really stood out was when they guided me through a complex financial situation with clarity and confidence, resulting in a great decision for my particular circumstance.

From day one, their team has been incredibly responsive, supportive, and easy to work with. They take the stress out of accounting and make everything run smoothly and efficiently. Thanks to their ongoing support and strategic insights, I’ve seen real growth and stability in my personal tax liabilities and business. I always feel like I have a trusted partner in my corner.

If you're looking for an accounting team that’s not only professional but also genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend Accounting People. They’ve made a real difference for me.

I have been a client with Accounting People since 2015, and it's been a pleasure working with the Team, who have been handling my Company accounting affairs, as well as my personal tax matters. They are extremely personable, professional and timely in my dealings, and whilst I have recommended friends in the past would highly recommend Accounting People to any firends and family.

I’ve been working with Accounting People for several years now, and they’ve consistently provided outstanding support with both my personal and joint tax affairs, including my self-assessment as a software engineer and income from a rental property.

Their team is always responsive, professional, and proactive — whether it’s helping with documentation, answering tax queries, or reminding me of upcoming deadlines. The entire process is efficient and well-organized, which has made managing our finances much easier.

They’ve not only saved us time and stress, but also helped reduce our tax burden through smart, tailored advice. A great example was their guidance on handling rental income more effectively, which resulted in meaningful tax savings.

Thanks to their expertise, I’ve been able to stay focused on my work while feeling confident that our finances are in good hands. I would highly recommend Accounting People to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy accounting partner.

I’ve been working with Accounting People for two years and I have recommended them to work colleagues. They’ve made a world of difference in my financial life — both personally and professionally.
From day one, they’ve provided exceptional support in managing my UK taxes with ease, while also helping me seamlessly reconcile my Spanish and English tax obligations. They’ve also made obtaining my UK certificates of tax residency a total breeze — something that used to feel overwhelming!
The team has been incredibly responsive, efficient, and knowledgeable. Their approach to accounting is not just easy — it’s stress-free. I always feel like I’m in safe hands.

Sohaib and the team are a pleasure to work with. They've supported my business for 4+ years and counting.

I couldn't speak more highly of Accounting People LTD. As a small business owner AND someone who isn't great at accounting or book keeping etc. they've consistently helped ensure everything that goes through HMRC is punctual, thorough and minimal effort my end. Even when I've asked then to dumb things down for me to understand, or if i've asked them questions I am sure a most accountants would want more money for, or when I've forgot important deadlines even though they've sent me countless reminders, they've been patient and always ensured I was up-to-date. Plus they're always looking to help the tax side of business run as efficiently as possible, so much so that I think I save far more than I pay them! I didn't think doing my taxes would be this easy. Cheers APL!

I have been working with Accounting People for the past 3 years, and my overall experience has been excellent. Their team is highly responsive and supportive, and the accounting process has been very easy and efficient, saving me valuable time.

My account manager, Sohaib, has been outstanding. He is professional, attentive, and always quick to provide clear and practical advice.

One of the biggest differences I’ve noticed is how Accounting People’s guidance has made financial decisions smoother and given me peace of mind, knowing that my accounts are in capable hands.

I would strongly recommend Accounting People to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accounting partner.

The team at Accounting People, and Sohaib in particular, have been true partners for my business and myself over the last 5 years, offering solid advice and clear explanations, whilst always being responsive and friendly. I highly recommend them!

I would have no hesitation in recommending Accounting People Ltd due to the consistently stellar service I have received from them. I have employed their services for over 7 years to file my annual tax returns and they have consistently done an amazing job and made my tax filings very easy and stress free for me. They have also liaised with HMRC on my behalf on some very sensitive and complicated matters with very favourable outcomes. They have saved me time and significantly reduced my tax burdens, getting me tax refunds where they were due with speed and efficiency. Huge shout out to Sohaib Naveed in particular who I have worked with the most and who has handled many of mine and my family's complex tax affairs over the years - he is super knowledgeable, time and cost efficient and very responsive.

I’ve used the services of Accounting People for over 7 years now, for my self-assessment tax returns, and I honestly couldn’t recommend them more highly. From the start, they’ve made the entire process incredibly easy, efficient, and completely stress-free.

What really stands out is how proactive they are, they take the time to offer genuinely helpful advice tailored to my situation.

The team are experts and always responsive and supportive. Any time I’ve had a question (and there have been a few!), they’ve come back quickly with clear, helpful answers. That level of service and attention has made a huge difference, and I have far more confidence in how my finances are managed.

If you're looking for someone to take the stress out of self-assessment and give you solid, proactive advice along the way, I’d wholeheartedly recommend them.

This is the best accountancy firm. All staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. They ensure that you understand accounts and have a dedicated account manager that manages the company and acts as a service manager. I would highly recommend Accounting People especially my accountant Abdul Wajid.
