Unicorn Accountants

About Unicorn Accountants

Working from an office at Merchant Square in Paddington, this London accounting practice supports start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses and individuals across the UK. A large part of its positioning is around online and technology ventures, with dedicated pages for marketplace sellers on Amazon, Etsy and eBay, Shopify and WooCommerce stores, dropshippers and software-as-a-service companies. It also serves landlords, legal and financial services firms, healthcare businesses and real estate clients. The team describes itself as ACCA-regulated and as Xero certified advisers, and it delivers most work through cloud software. Its personal tax pages mention people with overseas income and those who split their time between countries, although the site does not present foreign clients as its main focus. Company formation is offered to new businesses anywhere in the UK, with advice on shareholdings and structure. Prices are agreed by bespoke monthly quote rather than published, and the site appears in English only, with no other offices named.
