I am the Treasurer of a local business. We have been struggling to find a good accountant to help us with our accounting needs for about 10 years.
We have finally found a competent firm - Accounting Solutions. The first thing that impressed me was that I was provided with a personal service. I was also impressed with Jay's professionalism, confidence and his ability to listen. He is calm, understanding and reassuring. We communicate regularly to discuss developments which ensures we know what we are doing. His advice and help have enabled us to move forward through troubling times. He explains everything and ensures we understand clearly and with his help we have now got everything moving.
When it came to producing the annual accounts Jay has set everything up in the way we have always used, but has refined it so that we have the clearest and best set of accounts the business has had in ten years.
I would recommend Accounting Solutions to anyone in need of such services.

Great service, Jay was very friendly and took the time not only to prepare my accounts in an easy to read format, but he also followed up his fine work with a phone call, to go over everything and answer any questions. I will certainly be using him again next year.

Spoke with Jay over the phone a few days ago regarding concerns with my previous accountant who has done my tax return wrong. He number crunched the figures to where it had gone wrong and gave me advice on going from a sole trader to a LTD company. Great help and very knowledgeable. Will 100% be using him and his services in the future

As a new LTD company I was struggling with the overwhelming world of accounting. Jay has managed to help me face this in a professional and friendly manner. Not only was Jay able to help me in such a quick turnaround he also spent time helping me with tax saving queries and provided useful guidance which has helped me progress and develop my LTD company further.

Jay has made the entire process very simple, easy to understand and provided a personal service to my company. A genuine interest in helping my company as well as going above and beyond.

After speaking with Jay, he not only helped me clearly understand my self-assessment and what steps I needed to take, but he also saved me between 1,000 and 1,500. He was incredibly personable and patient with my lack of understanding, making the whole process so much easier. I couldnt be more grateful!

I called for some advice, and Jay generously offered his time over the phone, providing me with insights that saved me over 500! He pointed out some extra expenses I hadnt even thought about, and his guidance was clear, professional, and incredibly helpful. Im really grateful for his expertise and for going above and beyond to help me. Highly recommend his services for anyone looking for trustworthy and knowledgeable tax advice.

Jay is a remarkable accountant and has helped me and my company so much through Accounting Solutions. He is a very fair, approachable and trustworthy individual, who I would recommend to anyone starting or having problems with their Accounts. He makes the process easy, understandable and affordable.

Jay at accounting solutions is excellent - not only has he identified expenses we hadn't taken account of and saved us money he has given us advice and ideas that have boosted our business profile and earnings. Accounting Solutions goes well over and above other accountants we have used and we would 100% recommend them.

I called Accounting Solutions Manchester for some advise as I have never completed a tax return before as this was my first year being self-employed. Jay was excellent in communication over email and phone which aided my knowledge and answered any questions I had around this which made the process very easy. Through the advise I saved myself over 600+ which I did not know I was capable of saving.

Jay was absolutely brilliant! I had a telephone enquiry and her was incredibly helpful, to say the least. He was extremely professional, friendly, kind, knowledgeable, responsive and nothing was too much trouble at all. Jay explained everything brilliantly and made it easy to understand. I feel much better having phoned Jay and would not hesitate to speak with him again. Highly recommend!!

Accounting Solutions are by far the best accountants I've ever had. Jay and his team have been invaluable to my company over the years. It's daunting starting a new business, but Accounting Solutions have provided a personalised service, support and thorough guidance. No question is too daft or too obscure for them to answer. From assisting us with the books/VAT returns through to preparing our limited company accounts and tax returns, I cannot recommend them enough. Look no further for one of the best accountants in the Manchester area.

It was an absolute pleasure getting on a call with Jay. Not only was he very diligent in terms of listening to my queries but he was also very knowledgeable and thorough in his explanations. Jay provided clear, step-by-step guidance, ensuring I understood. His patience and attention to detail made me feel confident and well-supported. Highly recommend.

I have recently set up a limited company after being a sole trader for twenty years. Jay has made navigating all the requirements for HMRC as a Ltd company, extremely understandable and much less daunting.

I would thoroughly recommend Accounting Solutions Manchester, if you need an accountant who knows his stuff, and is always available to speak with you, whenever you need some clarity or support with financial matters.

We are a small Limited company. We had a previous accountant who did all our accounts wrong. He classified items wrongly, resulting in higher tax for us. Jay and his team corrected everything and filed with HMRC with no problems and saved us money. We are really impressed with the work theyve done. Great communication and highly knowledgeable. Youre in good hands.

I spoke with Jay at Accounting Solutions in mid October. I have a Limited Company C.I.C and due to ill health, needed the accounts completing asap.
From the get go Jay was friendly, helpful, professional and knew his stuff!
He made the whole process seamless, easy and with the least disruption for me. This has been by far the best experience I've had over the many years I've used accountants.
Jay took away a headache and got the job done quickly, at a great price -just what I needed during a difficult time.
I'm thrilled to have found a great accountant! -I highly recommend Accounting Solutions Manchester!

Having had a previous accountant the transition was handled smoothly and professionally. Jay and his team provide a personal service and are extremely thorough in their work. In comparison to my previous accountants Jay and his team are miles better. By far they are one of the best accountants in Stretford. Wish I had known about them earlier when I first started out 3 years ago.

I needed an accountant for the first time - Accounting Solutions are fantastic.
Jay is very pleasant to talk with and showed interest in my work making me feel at ease.
Accounting Solutions saved me a great deal of money and completed my forms for me quickly and helped me submit them easily.
I will be using them every year from now on

As a new limited company business owner, I spoke to a variety of accountants in Stretford, Jay and his team were by far the best. He was there to answer any of my queries. He helped me make excellent tax savings and was very thorough and helpful. Excellent service advice and support- I fully recommend Accounting Solutions services- he's exactly who you need when you've just started a new business!

Honestly, the level of pressure I was subjecting myself to was a nightmare. As a new limited company with limited experience, and even less knowledge regarding taxes and filing accounts, Jay and his team have been absolutely fantastic. Jay conducted himself in a highly professional manner and went above and beyond by visiting my workplace to address all my inquiries. He not only provided recommendations on best practices but also offered valuable tips on tax savings as our business continues to expand and scale. Couldn't be happier!

Having recently moved our business from a partnership to a limited company I was recommended Accountancy Solutions Manchester to complete our end of year tax return. After contacting Jay and the team they have worked hard to organise my accounts and submit our corporation tax and personal tax returns efficiently and on time. Jay is incredibly knowledgeable and explains the intricacies of the way a limited company is taxed in a way that's easily understood. They have always been really easy to contact and have been happy to give expert advice and guidance face to face.
They have saved me in taxes way more than they've cost me in their service. I would highly recommend Jay and the team for good clear advice and support with your business taxes.

I have never had the need to use an accountant before, however, due to becoming an executor unexpectedly, I needed to complete tax returns. I contacted Jay, who made himself quickly available and was able to complete the returns then support me through the process.

I found Jay to be reliable, helpful and sensitive in his handling of my situation. He was supportive throughout, with good communications. I can happily recommend Jay from my experience.

I switched to Jay from my previous accountant 9 months ago, suspecting a lack of competence. Jay not only exceeded my expectations but also demonstrated a superior approach to accounting.

He's punctual, always available at no extra cost, honest, diligent, and provides upfront advice.

In contrast, he's made my old accountant feel like a con man with unrealistic expectations, unclear explanations, limited availability, and poor accounting practices.

Jay's simplicity, approachability, and willingness to help deserve a 5-star review.

We have been using Jay for our Limited Company account for over 12 months now and from the beginning we found him to be knowledgeable, approachable and always responded to any questions quickly. Jay has been brilliant in helping set up our company, bank accounts and gave us excellent training in bookkeeping and cloud based accounting software. The thing that sets Jay apart from the rest is his transparent pricing, we agreed to a fixed price plan and we have never had any other hidden fees like some other accountants. We have just completed our year end accounts and Jay has made it a breeze with expert knowledge and makes things easy to understand. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an accountant.

I'd happily recommend Jay to anyone looking for an accountant. We've been using Accounting Solutions Manchester for our business accounts since setting up in 2020. Jay is always approachable, professional and knowledgeable and has been of great assistance not only in completing the business accounts, but also pointing me in the right direction with my own tax return. He gives a clear quote at the start and that's what he charges - nothing extra. Most importantly, Jay takes the time to listen and understand your needs and provides clear replies and advice, giving me confidence that my accounts and tax are in good hands, just what I'm looking for as a start up.
