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.

Recently, I had a tax related circumstance which caused my family and I a lot of stress. Jay was able to resolve the issue in under two working days!

Jay provided a caring, personal, and reassuring experience while also delivering a detailed, efficient, and complete service - at a reasonable price.

I cannot recommend Jay enough. He has positively impacted my life in a big way.

Jay and his team have been an incredible support throughout my first year as a limited company. From managing my accounts and PAYE to guiding me through unexpected HMRC issues and corporation tax queries, hes gone above and beyond the typical duties of an accountant.

What really sets Jay apart is his proactive approach. He doesn't just handle the numbers he explains whats going on behind the scenes, helping me understand how corporation tax works and how to make smarter financial decisions.

He carefully reviewed my accounts, identified allowable expenses, and structured my year-end in a way that legally reduced my corporation tax liability saving me money I didnt even know I could.

Jays clear communication and transparency gave me peace of mind throughout what couldve been a stressful process. Hes efficient, reliable, and genuinely cares about his clients.

I feel much more confident running my business with Jays support and wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to other freelancers, creatives, or business owners looking for trusted help with corporation tax and year-end accounts.

Jay has been my accountant for the past few years. Always an excellent service. Very knowledgeable. Unlike the larger firms they provide a personal service. Highly recommend 10/10.

i am very glad i found accounting solutions. Jay has guided me through the process of moving from a sole trader to a LTD company. Jay is always accessible and available, providing a highly personalised service. He is always happy to answer my queries and provides clear advice which i feel has helped me make the best choices for myself and my business.
He has completed my accounts in an extremely efficient and timely way. His service has taken all the stress out of my end of year tax returns and his efficiency gives me maximum scope to pay my tax in the way that is best for my business.

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 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.

After receiving an unexpected large bill from HMRC for £7,000, I knew I needed an accountant who knows what they are doing.
When Jay touched base with me, he explained to me what I needed to do, what information to send him. I started the process of collating all the information I needed to provide. Accounting Solutions accountants from Stretford liaised with me and the HMRC inspector throughout. I can honestly say, Jay was amazing, and the final HMRC tax bill came in at £1,300. That was a huge saving and without him, I’d of paid the full amount. There was no way I had his skills to do all those tax returns myself.
He provided a personable service; nothing was too much trouble, and he kept me in the loop the whole time. Now, I will only trust Accounting Solutions to do my tax returns each year, and I cannot thank him enough for his expertise and professionalism. Plus, he’s genuinely a lovely person too!

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!!

Jay from accounting solutions has been helping me with my business for the past 2 years. He has been an amazing help, and supported me with valuable information from best practice on tax planning, to yearly accounts and tax return.

I chose working with Jay over larger companies due to the personalised experience he offers my business. I can rely on him at any time to answer my questions and help me solve issues. And as a small business, I am grateful for the support received. Thoroughly recommended for any business looking for accounting services in Stretford.

We started our own business just over two years ago. Jay has been with us every step of the way. He knows his stuff and is a very personable accountant. We never feel rushed working with him. He takes his time to clearly explain our options without talking down to us.

If you're starting your own business then I can recommend Jay's services.

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.

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.

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 recently used Jay for my small limited company's tax filing, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Jay was professional and knowledgeable, and made the process of filing taxes for my business easy and stress-free. I appreciated his attention to detail and his willingness to answer all my questions. I would definitely use Jay again in the future.

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.

Jay is great! Very patient and very knowledgeable. Keeps me at ease and explains everything as we go.
I was new to a limited company and he guided me through everything, keeping me up to date with the latest information.
I've had 3 other accountants before Accounting Solutions Mcr and I was very impressed with how information he gave me that I never got from the other companies.
I've recommended Jay and the team to several other businesses and they're all very pleased with the service
