Accountants in Tameside
Small business accountants across Tameside.
Tameside is really nine towns rather than one, and the businesses reflect that — engineering and distribution around Denton and Droylsden and the M67 corridor, market and high-street retail in Ashton-under-Lyne, and a spread of trades, garages and small manufacturers through Stalybridge, Hyde and Dukinfield.
Most are owner-managed, most are busy, and most have an accountant they hear from once a year. We work the other way round: current bookkeeping, a fixed monthly fee, and someone who answers the phone the same day.
Our office is at 76 Gloucester Road in Urmston, but almost everything runs through Xero, email and the phone, so where we sit rarely comes into it.

Why do Tameside small businesses love Premier Accounts?
With our expert small business accountants on your team, managing your business finances is ‘taken care of’.
Engineering, motor trade and distribution businesses in Tameside tend to have the same blind spots — vehicles and plant not claimed to best effect, stock and work in progress guessed at rather than counted, and VAT schemes that were right when the business was half the size.
We review all of that when you come on board and tell you plainly what we’d change. After that it’s a matter of keeping the books current in Xero, filing everything on time, and giving you figures you can plan around. One fixed monthly fee, no surprises.
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 you cover all of Tameside?
Yes — Ashton, Stalybridge, Hyde, Denton, Droylsden, Dukinfield, Mossley and the rest. We’re based in Urmston, but the work runs through Xero, email and the phone, so you get the same service wherever in the borough you are.
How much does an accountant in Tameside 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.
I run a garage / motor trade business — do you deal with that?
We do. The motor trade has its own quirks: parts stock, work in progress on jobs not yet invoiced, VAT on part-exchanges and margin scheme sales, and courtesy vehicles. We’ll make sure those are treated correctly rather than lumped in as general expenses, which is where the money quietly leaks.
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.
