Dear All,

We are starting to look for a good bookkeepin service who can look after our accounts and tax. At the moment, we are using Quickbooks to record our invoice, bills, paying VAT etc. We hope outsouce some general accounts works and let us focus on our business. Any one who recommend a good accountant to us is appreciated. You can PM me or leave a message. We are based in Manchester.

Many thanks

David

We are in a similar possition and looking for similar, ideally someone local to Bolton area..

Currently we have logged everything for the last 18months in excel and done VAT by hand so to speak but looking for someone whom can handle the quaterly returns and also our upcoming first tax return for a small trader.

Anyone care to post up..

Hi David and Peter

There are a number of us accountants on the forum - I can't think of anyone in the Manchester/ Bolton area offhand, but I'm sure amongst us there must be one or two!

There are advantages to having an accountant local to you. However many people are appointing accountants who aren't local, as it's very simple to work remotely via phone and email. This also gives you a lot more choice when it comes to choosing an accountant.

Have a look at the sticky at the top of the forum for tips on choosing a good accountant and please let us know if you would consider working remotely, as it will enable more of us to respond.

Thank you all the replies. I have replied a few PM and talk the service in more details.

We have no experience work with accountant remotely but I am open to this choice. Having accounts done remotely also means we have more freedom in locations:)


Thanks

I can recommend a firm in Stockport called Bailey Oster, give them a call on 0161 968 7373 and ask to speak to either Ben or Nathan.

Thanks

We may be happy to work with you remotely, we use Quickbooks and do have a couple of clients in your area who I know would be happy for you to speak to about the service they receive from us. If interested please let me know by PM and we can arrange a telephone conversation to see if their is a mutual fit.

Regards, Jason

You've probably got enough choice by now but I can definitely recommend my accountant who's based in Preston.

David, Peter and Sophie,

I work for a small but friendly (and good!) firm in South Manchester who specialise in small owner managed businesses (limited companies as well as sole traders)

If you have not yet chosen an accountant, then please feel free to contact me to discuss your individual circumstances, or you may wish to visit our website first.
