Accountants in Oldham

Small business accountants for Oldham.

Oldham’s business base is broader than people give it credit for — engineering and food manufacturing on the industrial estates, a large and busy trades sector, wholesale and retail through the town centre, and the independent shops, cafes and hospitality businesses up in Saddleworth.

What most of them share is an owner doing three jobs at once, and books that are always a month or two behind. That’s the bit we take away.

We’re a family-owned firm at 76 Gloucester Road in Urmston, about half an hour round the M60. Most Oldham clients run everything through Xero and the phone and never need to make the trip.

Why do Oldham small businesses love Premier Accounts?

With our expert small business accountants on your team, managing your business finances is ‘taken care of’.

Manufacturing and wholesale businesses in Oldham live or die on margin and stock, and neither shows up properly in a set of accounts you see nine months after year-end. By then the decisions have already been made.

We’ll get you onto Xero, keep the bookkeeping current, and give you monthly or quarterly management figures so you can see margin, stock and cash while you can still do something about them. Compliance — VAT, payroll, CIS, year-end — is handled in the background on a fixed monthly fee.

You get a named accountant who knows your business — not a call centre, and not a different person every time you ring. Fees are agreed in advance and spread monthly, so you always know what you’re paying and you’re never charged for picking up the phone.

What it costs to switch

Nothing. We’ll have a free, no-obligation chat about the business, tell you what we’d do and quote you a fixed monthly fee before you commit to anything.

If you’re moving from another accountant, you send them one short email and we handle the professional clearance, the records request and the HMRC authorisations from there.

Oldham accountants

Questions we get asked a lot.

Are you local to Oldham?

We’re in Urmston, about half an hour round the M60, and we look after a number of Oldham businesses. In practice almost everything runs through Xero, email and the phone — but you’re welcome to come in for the annual accounts meeting or whenever something needs a proper conversation.

How much does an accountant in Oldham cost?

We quote a fixed monthly fee based on what your business actually needs — the number of transactions, whether you’re VAT registered, whether you run payroll, and how much of the bookkeeping you want to keep in-house. You’ll know the figure before you commit, it’s spread monthly rather than landing as one bill, and you’re never charged extra for ringing us with a question.

Can you take over from my current accountant?

Yes, and it’s far less hassle than people expect. You send a short email telling them you’re moving, we write for professional clearance and your records, and we handle the rest. We’ll check what’s outstanding with Companies House and HMRC before anything transfers, so nothing gets missed in the changeover.

We manufacture — can you handle stock and work in progress?

Yes. Stock valuation, work in progress, job costing and gross margin by product line are exactly the areas where small manufacturers lose money without realising. We’ll set the system up so those numbers come out monthly rather than annually, and talk you through what they mean.

Are you set up for Making Tax Digital?

Yes. We’re Xero Certified Partners and our clients file digitally. If you’re still on spreadsheets or paper we’ll move you across and do the setup for you, so Making Tax Digital for VAT and for Income Tax are handled without you having to think about it.

Other areas we cover

We look after small businesses right across Greater Manchester. If your town isn’t listed, ring us anyway — the chances are we already work with somebody there.
