Sarah Thompson
Thompson Retail Ltd
As a contractor under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), I needed accountants who truly understand HMRC requirements. They managed my CIS registration, monthly returns, and self-assessment without any stress. Their guidance saved me both time and money. Professional, reliable, and always available when needed
James Patel
Self-Employed Contractor (CIS)
AccFirm took over our accounts when our previous firm kept missing deadlines. Within three months they had identified over £4,200 in tax savings we had been leaving on the table including expenses we had never been told we could claim. They handle everything from our quarterly VAT returns to our year-end accounts and payroll, and our dedicated accountant is always reachable. For any London small business owner, I cannot recommend them enough.
