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.
I strongly recommend Accounting People, and especially Asim. Keep up the great work!
The team are always on hand whenever I need advice, quick to respond, and genuinely supportive. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble, and it’s clear they take pride in looking after their clients properly.
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.

At a personal level it is a pleasure to be supported by your company representatives.
Many thanks for ongoing support. Best wishes,

The team at AP are always friendly, helpful and reply quickly, nothing is ever too much and honestly couldn't recommend enough.
Look forward to continued business.
Accounting People Ltd has been our supporting accounting company for well over 15 years. They have been very professional in their service delivery, built an excellent relationship with us, submitted our annual accounts returns and statements on time, always at a competitive cost with no hidden additions. And they answered all relevant queries relating to our business and charitable activities all those years without any fines and misunderstandings.
I recommend them to any individuals and companies, and be rest assured that all your accounting burdens will be dealt professionally.
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.
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.
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
Their advice has helped me save time, reduce tax burdens, and stay financially organised—something that’s been invaluable in my busy professional life.

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.
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.

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.

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



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.
