Accounting People have been responsible for compiling our annual company (Sportonspec) accounts since 2020, and more recently our VAT returns also. Our various HMRC filing requirements are consistently dealt with in a timely fashion. Our point of contact is Umair. Wherever we've had a query the feedback has always been prompt and any explanations requested have been clear. It helps they are always keen to understand our business and objectives going forward. The service we have received from Umair and Accounting People has been excellent throughout. I would recommend them to any growing business looking for reliable and proactive accountants.

Exceptional Accountants. I have been with them for 17+ years and still going.
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 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.

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.
