Accountants in Salford
Small business accountants, minutes from Salford.
If you run a business in Salford and you’re tired of chasing an accountant who only surfaces once a year, we’re worth a conversation. Premier Accounts looks after sole traders, contractors, limited companies and partnerships right across the city — from the media and creative businesses around MediaCityUK and Salford Quays to the trades, hauliers and manufacturers based in Eccles, Irlam and Worsley.
Our office is at 76 Gloucester Road in Urmston, about ten minutes from Salford across the Barton bridge, so a face-to-face meeting is easy to arrange when you want one. Most of our Salford clients, though, run everything through Xero and their phone, and only come in when there’s something worth sitting down for.
Whether you’ve just registered your first company, you’ve outgrown doing the books yourself, or you simply want someone who answers the phone, we’ll give you a fixed monthly fee and a named accountant who knows your business.

Why do Salford small businesses love Premier Accounts?
With our expert small business accountants on your team, managing your business finances is ‘taken care of’.
Salford is a city of small operators — freelancers and production companies at the Quays, construction and trades across Swinton and Walkden, logistics and light industry out towards Irlam and Trafford Park. Those businesses don’t need a big-firm partner they’ll never meet; they need someone who understands CIS, IR35, VAT on subcontractors and cash flow that comes in lumps.
That’s the work we do every day. We’ll get you set up on Xero, take the bookkeeping off your desk, keep you compliant with Making Tax Digital, and flag things before they become expensive rather than after.
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.

Questions we get asked a lot.
Do I need to come to your office in Urmston?
Only if you want to. We’re about ten minutes from most of Salford and you’re very welcome to come in for a coffee and a proper sit-down. Plenty of our Salford clients we speak to entirely by phone, email and Xero and it works perfectly well — it’s whatever suits how you like to work.
How much does an accountant in Salford 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.
Do you work with freelancers, contractors and production companies?
A great deal of our Salford work is exactly that — freelancers and limited-company contractors around the Quays and MediaCity, plus CIS subcontractors on the construction side. We’ll handle the company accounts and your personal tax return together, get the salary and dividend split right, and tell you honestly whether incorporating is worth it, because sometimes it isn’t.
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.
