Accounts and Legal

About Accounts and Legal

Established in 2015, this London practice brings accountants, lawyers and corporate finance advisers together under one roof, with a second office in Manchester. It targets UK small and medium-sized businesses, particularly owner-managed companies in growth mode, and reports working for more than a thousand clients. The firm was named a large-firm winner by the Xero software provider in 2023 and gives every client a quarterly performance review. A named adviser guides new business owners through company registration, and the same team then continues with accounting, tax, payroll and legal support. Corporate transactions such as business purchases, sales, due diligence and exit planning are a further strand, handled jointly by its finance and legal staff. The site targets domestic SMEs; no non-resident offering or languages other than English are described, and no prices are published.
