About us

A local practice for people running their own business

A & S Consultants Limited is an accountancy practice on High Road in Chadwell Heath, working with sole traders, landlords and limited companies across East London and Essex.

Who we are

Small enough to know your file, organised enough to keep it moving

Most of the businesses we look after are run by one person or a small team. The accounts matter, but they are not what anyone came into business to do. Our job is to take the routine off your desk and tell you plainly where things stand.

We work the same way whether you are registering your first trade or running a company with staff on payroll: agree what needs doing, put the records somewhere sensible, and deal with the deadlines before they become urgent.

What to expect

Four things we hold ourselves to

None of these are unusual. They are just the things people tell us they did not get last time.

You deal with a person, not a queue

The same point of contact handles your file, so you are not explaining the business again every time something comes up.

Plain English, in writing

What needs doing, what we need from you and what it costs, set out before the work starts rather than discovered on an invoice.

Digital records as standard

Books kept in MTD-compatible software from the start, so quarterly reporting is a routine rather than a scramble.

Deadlines flagged early

The dates that apply to you are mapped out at the start of the year and raised with you in advance, not the week before.

Joining us

What the first few weeks actually look like

  1. Step 01

    A conversation, before anything is agreed

    You tell us what the business does, how the records are kept now and what is coming up. We tell you what we would do and what it would cost. Nothing starts until that is agreed in writing.

  2. Step 02

    We handle the changeover

    If you already have an accountant, we write to them for your records and deal with the handover ourselves. We also complete the identity checks every UK practice is required to carry out before acting.

  3. Step 03

    Software and records set up

    Bookkeeping moved into MTD-compatible software, bank feeds connected, and the opening figures agreed so the first set of accounts starts from something reliable.

  4. Step 04

    Your year, mapped out

    You get the dates that apply to your business — returns, filings and payment dates — and we work to them through the year rather than meeting once at the end of it.
