We mainly deal with small businesses and self employed people. We do not deal with large businesses (turnover in excess of J500,000) although we have a few customers who have grown to this level. We do not deal with complicated taxes or specialist areas, we prefer to give a good service to ordinary businesses. We complete book-keeping, VAT returns, annual accounts and tax returns. A Payroll service is offered to customers but we no longer offer a separate bureau service.

I've been a client of Approved Accounting since 2005 and would describe this company as responsive, knowledgeable and professional. with a real personal and friendly feel. Jon and his team have looked after me and my business so well, always there to give advice when needed. Their use of the latest accountancy technology makes life simpler for all. I would recommend their services without hesitation!

I have dealt with Alex and Approved Accounting for the past 2 years now. They have always been really helpful and highly responsive in getting any questions or queries answered. They helped us to streamline a lot of our out dated Accounting processes as a result helping us to spend more time on our core business. Would highly recommend Approved Accounting to anyone!

I have had the pleasure of being a recipient of Approved Accounting's services for a number of years. The team are fantastic at what they do and are always there to offer solid advice week in, week out. With Approved Accounting - I'm safe in the knowledge that my businesses accounts are in safe hands. Highly recommend.

Approved Accounting have been amazing from the very start. They make everything so simple for our business! Whenever we e-mail, or make any type of enquiry they are ready and quick to answer. We are never made to feel like we asked a silly question and Jon's guidance in getting our new business set up 4 years ago was impeccable. During the pandemic we all felt like we were in safe hands from the very start, and we were guided through any new terms and obstacles we faced. We cannot recommend Approved Accounting more! Thank you, M&R Barbers

The Approved Accounting team have delivered a consistently high quality service to our Business. Of all our providers, theirs is the most reliable and interactive product above any other company or entity. The combined personality of this team encourages a close and friendly rapport; there is a modern and contemporary vibe to their methodology and presence. A pleasure to work with.

Revelation Community Church been clients of AA for over a year now and we're delighted with their responsiveness and can-do attitude. They make optimal use of Xero to provide expert accounting assistance remotely on a regular monthly and also ad-hoc. When we needed extra help during lock-down and with the government furlough scheme, they were there for us.

We have really enjoyed working with Alex at Approved Accounting. We're a start-up and have needed a fair amount of hand holding to get up and running - Alex has always been available to answer any questions, spends time researching the best options, and has taken really good care of our accounting needs. He's always cheerful too!

We have worked with Approved Accounting since 2016, we initially wanted to work with them as they were experts in Xero and we knew we weren't using it to its full potential. They really helped us and it turns out they were specialist in all areas of accounting and have helped us in many areas as we have grown over the years. I would and I have recommended them.

The most disappointing accounting firm I've ever come across. I Chose them for accountancy due to their good reviews but I highly suspect these have been written by themselves after dealing with their level of unprofessionalism. I instructed the firm months ago to deal with my accounting and they were initially friendly and mentioned they could assist.
I waited on them for months to sort out the return providing them numerous pieces of information despite my schedule and specifically mentioned to them I was hoping to file as soon as possible. They were fine with this and gave no mention of any issues regarding job, income, ect but on the very week I needed the filing done and sorter (which I had let them know of months prior), they cancelled last minute without any notice.
Please note they may claim this was due to "insufficient information" but i assure you all information was provided and they confirmed everything was fine until the last day. The most childish tactic for not going above and beyond to give them private details about my business affairs (details which they didn't need and which the accountant pointed out was "for his personal interest").
If you suffer the unfortunate fate of having Alex as your accountant, please be very cautious of being left beyond disappointed. They then also very unprofessionally breached privacy guidelines by revealing my personal address online publicly. They did this without my prior knowledge due to me being unhappy with their service. Instead of offering me an apology for the absolute chaos and unprofessionalism, their great idea was to inappropriately share my personal address online on my company site.
I was left looking for another accountant last minute to sort out the mess they created- thankfully I did and have had absolutely no issues with any other accountants I've dealt with. Please beware they may reply to this review claiming false accusations to clear their trail and denying whatever they can but I assure you the worst decision you can make is choosing this firm.
I am simply writing this as an honest experience to warn others from making the same mistake I did. They will try to inappropriately dig into any of your business or personal affairs (not for any tax/ business purposes but for their "personal interest"- quoted directly by Alex who then became bitter when he couldn't find what he was looking for) and leave you without any work being done last minute whilst having wasted months of your time.
By far the most unprofessional people I've dealt with. I truly hope this review helps at least one person from making the mistake of choosing this firm like I did and not buy into these other fake reviews they've given themselves. Edit: Please don't be fooled into believing their lying lies. They are very aware of their actions.

I have been a client of Approved Accounting for the past 6 years. Their service is second to none. A highly knowledgeable and skilled team who go above and beyond to meet their client's needs. A personal approach with a can do attitude. I would strongly recommend their services and have introduced them to a number of personal and business contacts.

We have used Approved Accounting for the past 8 years and would unreservedly recommend them to any small to medium business that want a first class service. Jon and Matt put customers requirements at the top of their agenda and spend time ensuring that these are met, many a time going the extra mile to achieve the right outcome. They are an exceptional accounting firm and can be credited in assisting our charity with excellent financial advice.
