Year End Accounts In accordance with the Companies Act, all Limited Companies (LTDs) and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) must submit their annual statutory accounts to Companies House.

Having entrusted Mercian Accountants with Trust Hygiene Services' financial matters since 2017, they have been the backbone of our financial stability and growth. For a medium-sized enterprise like ours, with a family of 64 dedicated employees across two locations, managing the intricacies of accountancy, business, and taxation can be a challenging task. However, the team at Mercian has continuously surpassed our expectations.

From the outset, their accountancy services provided us with clear, timely, and accurate financial statements, allowing us to make informed business decisions. Their business advisory role has been instrumental, helping us identify opportunities for growth, and steering clear of potential pitfalls. Their tax advice has not only ensured our full compliance but has also optimised our tax position, leading to substantial savings.

The longevity of our partnership speaks to the trust and confidence we place in their expertise. Their team is professional, responsive, and always ready to provide clarity on complex issues. We receive cutting-edge advice, ensuring that we are always one step ahead of regulatory changes. Mercian Accountants is more than just an accounting firm for us; they are trusted partners in our growth journey. Any medium-sized business looking for a reliable accounting and advisory partner should look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend their services Craig H Director

I came across Mercian accountants by chance through my own research and have been impressed with Graham's approach to tax advice. As well as possessing a thorough detailed knowledge of the tax world he was able to help deconstruct my complicated tax situation, and approach matters holistically on a strategic level. It has really helped to have someone look at the big picture and develop an action plan, where before things had been a bit stuck. Am happy to recommend.

My businesses paperwork was a mess before Mercian Accountants. Since signing up to them everything is back on track with their hard work, constant communication and direction. With the extra bookkeeping provided by Leo Zade it has made my life so much easier.

We work with Leo and have been tremendously impressed with his work. Our business operates both in America as well as the UK and greater Europe and Leo and his team have been able to grasp the complexities with ease. More importantly, the work is done correctly and on time each month without fail. We highly recommend Leo and his team.

I had my first meeting with Mercian Accountants this morning. My feedback could not be more positive. I had several questions on many complex topics, spanning from Inheritance and Capital Gain tax, on both UK and non-UK properties, to Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, and ultimately on how to start a new business from a tax perspective. Although still a preliminary discussion, Graham demonstrated very deep knowledge in all these areas and provided clear, simple explanations that allowed me to gain the confidence I needed to proceed with the next steps. I will definitely keep referring to Graham and the Team in future. 5-star Service!

My experience with Mercian from their onboarding right down to their day-to-day support is immaculate, phones are answered immediately. There is no confusion or missed messages. The peace of mind given to me as a client from this aspect alone is exemplary. The professional demeanour from everyone I have spoken with there is responsive, kind and concise. Graham is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. I cannot recommend this company in higher esteem. This is without a doubt the best accounting firm I have had the pleasure of working with.

Graham was the most helpful and happiest of Hooman beings during my Content Creating TAX conundrum. Offering good advice on TAX returns and what to do going forward. Between the Platform and HMRC, Graham was the only one who could explain what needed to be done with regards to paying TAX and self assessments. Though his chirpy demeanour I could tell he knew the platform and his advice was second to none. I also think he's mad as a box of frogs - Which is "exactly" who a Content creator needs to file their TAX returns. Top chap!

I would highly recommend Graham Loosely and his team at Mercian Accountants for dealing with my tax returns and property capital gains tax over the years. Graham's professional, knowledgeable and patient approach has been invaluable to me as a client and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for your accounting requirements.

Graham has been very professional and helpful when I brought my 3 businesses to him to set up and manage. His advice and guidance have been priceless and as a new business owner in property, he has been extremely informative saving us making some costly errors. Would highly recommend Graham and his team to anyone in the property sector.

We were recommended to Mercian Accountants by a friend as we did not know any local accountancy firms as we had to have some CGT calculated. They initially worked with us over a year ago. In that time we were very happy with their services. They also acted for our children as well. For this tax year we had to prepare a finally CGT account. A year since we last had contact we needed their help again. This was immediately forthcoming. We cannot fault their commitment and service and can highly recommend them. Sue & Claude Hart

I cannot recommend Graham Loosley highly enough. Very personable and extremely professional. Clearly knows exactly what needs to be done and works both quickly and thoroughly to reach a resolution. I was really impressed, not only by how quickly he had everything set up, but by how much you can trust in him, as he's an expert who genuinely cares about delivering top-notch service. Resultantly, you get both efficiency and approachability!

I found out about Mercian and Graham through a friend who was absolutely singing his praises and I am so very glad that I got in contact as I truly don't believe I could've found anyone half as dependable, so if you're reading this as a prospective customer, here is the push you have been looking for! I would recommend him equally to both people new to this sort of thing, as he's excellent at explaining things in a way that makes sense, and people looking to switch to a highly industrious and competent accountant.

I don't think I would ever want to go with any other accountant now! Of note is how it feels like you can totally put all of your faith in him, and yet you never once feel like you're "in the dark" about what's going on, if that makes sense, which is absolutely fantastic, and probably exactly what anyone could ask out of an accountant! I would like to take this moment to say thanks so much for stellar accounting and I'd definitely come back to Mercian!

We cannot thank Graham and the team at Mercian Accountants enough for the support and guidance they have provided in relation to our family run property company. We have a portfolio of properties and Graham has provided expert guidance in all areas of our business ensuring we had a clear understanding of the options available to us in both the short and long term to help us with our financial planning for now and the future.

The particular areas of focus were: 1. Our obligations as landlords and the tax implications. 2. Creation of a family investment company. 3. Long term inheritance tax planning. Graham is able to explain extremely complex financial matters, including tax, in a clear and straightforward way that ensured we fully understood the options available and were able to make an informed decision. We strongly recommend seeking advice from Graham and the team at Mercian Accountants for all financial and tax related matters from both a landlord and personal perspective.

As an IT Contractor with a private limited company, I am delighted with the professionalism and service that Mercian Accountants offer me. Following numerous bad experiences with a previous accountant, a colleague recommended I make the move to Mercian Accountants and I am thankful that I did. Graham and the team are prompt to respond to any enquiries I have, taking the time to clearly explain my accounts and options available to me as circumstances change over time. I would thoroughly recommend Mercian to anyone in my network and l look forward to continuing to work with them.
