EmeraldSteel Accounting
We came to EmeraldSteel, a couple of years after our previous accountant had retired and we had been using a national tax service that while professional felt entirely perfunctory. From my 1st conversation with Andrew at EmeraldSteel I knew dealing with them would be entirely different.
I was recommended EmeraldSteel Accounting by another person and have used Andrew for our CICS accounts for the past 2 years now and will continue.
I'd 100% recommend, great communication and there to help! Thank you!
From day one, Andrew has been approachable, professional, and incredibly supportive. As my business has grown through its early stages, he’s provided valuable advice, clear guidance, and expert insight across a range of important areas, helping me make informed decisions with confidence.
Top accountants, really helpful every step of the way with moving from sole trader to ltd company, no questions were to much and had so much patience in explaining things in a way that makes sense so you feel completely at ease that your accounts are in safe professional hands!

LOCAL CASE STUDY
We supported an owner of a garage based in Sandbach, helping with setting up their limited company and everything that comes with that. It can be overwhelming setting up a new limited company (or changing from being a sole-trader), so we can take care of it for you.
If you need support (just like our client in the case study below), please reach out and we will be happy to advise on exactly what you will need…
We helped this garage owner with getting set-up and answering questions related to the process… but this doesn’t mean we then disappear! Instead, we provide ongoing support for all our clients as part of our monthly accountancy plans. This means we can help answer any questions and even provide Whatsapp chat so you can get quick answers directly from your accountant.

Any questions I've had have been answered straight away (WhatsApp communication is the best!) and it's reassuring knowing I've got someone I can trust looking after the accounts side of things.
