Accountants in Trafford

A Trafford firm, for Trafford businesses.

We’re not a firm that ‘covers’ Trafford. We’re based in it — 76 Gloucester Road, Urmston — and we have been looking after businesses across the borough for over twenty years.

Trafford is unusually varied for its size. Trafford Park is still one of the largest industrial estates in Europe, full of manufacturers, distributors and contractors. Altrincham and Hale run on professional services and hospitality. Sale, Urmston and Stretford are dense with independents, trades and one-person limited companies. We work across all of it.

Fixed monthly fees, a named accountant, and an office you can actually get to without going into town.

Why do Trafford small businesses love Premier Accounts?

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

Because we’re based here, we see the same issues repeatedly across the borough — CIS and reverse-charge VAT on the Trafford Park trades, salary-versus-dividend decisions for the contractors in Sale and Urmston, payroll and tronc questions from Altrincham hospitality.

We’ll get you onto Xero so the bookkeeping stops being an evening job, keep everything filed on time, and give you numbers often enough to be useful rather than historic. And you get a named accountant who answers the phone, not a ticket number.

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.

Trafford accountants

Questions we get asked a lot.

Whereabouts in Trafford are you?

76 Gloucester Road, Urmston, M41 9AE — in the north of the borough, a few minutes from Trafford Park and the M60. Anywhere in Trafford, you can be with us inside twenty minutes. Or handle everything remotely through Xero if you’d rather.

How much does an accountant in Trafford 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 businesses on Trafford Park?

We do — manufacturers, distributors, contractors and the trades that service them. That work brings its own issues: CIS, the construction reverse charge, plant and vehicle capital allowances, and stock. We deal with all of it regularly, and we’re five minutes away if something needs sorting face to face.

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.
