I’ve been with Accounting People now for over six years. Both Sohaib and Ian have always been incredibly responsive and genuinely supportive. Their advice is clear, communication is honest, and working with them has been a great experience. Especially when there are questions I'm not sure how to answer. A highly reliable and professional team. Can't recommend them enough (well, I've introduced them to a few people over the years and will continue to do so).

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 have had a great experience with Umair in Accounting People. Umair filled in all the paperwork to set up my limited company in February 2022 and has overseen the accounts in the company since, producing annual financial statements. He has always been very responsive to questions and given straight forward and well explained advice (which I need!) on the best way to do things.

I’ve been with Accounting People since setting up my limited company in 2019, and I honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. As a contractor, having a reliable and responsive accountancy firm is crucial — and they’ve exceeded my expectations from day one.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.
