EmeraldSteel Accounting
We’ve honestly never had a better accountant service than Emerald Steel Accountants. From day one, everything has been handled professionally, efficiently, and with real attention to detail. Communication is clear and prompt, and nothing ever feels like too much trouble.
They’ve taken all the stress out of managing our accounts and given us complete confidence that everything is being done properly. It’s rare to find a service that’s this reliable and easy to work with.
Previously my accounts were organised my a firm and the time taken to reply to queries etc reflected this. Through my frustrations, I looked for another accountant and found Andrew on Bark, I think I was one of his first clients as he went alone as an accountant. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough, I refer everyone to Andrew, as goes above and beyond to support the business. His advice is always there when needed! Andrew’s accountancy system is easy, trustworthy and streamlined.
As a new business owner/sole trader considering moving over to Ltd company, Andrew at EmeraldSteel Accounting has been absolutely incredible. I am disorganised and terrible at anything to do with numbers and he has made the process extremely smooth, very easy to understand, easy to communicate and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend his services and look forward to him being my accountant for a long time. Thank you!
The best accountant we’ve ever had! Andrew is so attentive, knowledgable and actually cares for you and your business. We are so grateful to have found an accountant that aligns with our values. Andrew is a modern accountant, won’t rip you off and will be there every step of the way for you and your business. We have recommended him to all our family and friends and continue to send people his way! Thanks Andrew for everything 🙏🏼

LOCAL CASE STUDY
As the owner of an engineering and fabrication business in Northwich, it was important to have someone trusted looking after all things tax-related!
At Emeraldsteel, we've worked with the business for a long time and been there along the way to provide advice and support. This included moving from a sole-trader structure, into a limited company (as well as setting up payroll and VAT returns when the business had grown to require them)
With our monthly plans, it makes it easy with one fixed fee that covers everything needed. As your business grows, we can provide the next plan up and discuss exactly what you need.
Please get in touch and we can help with understanding your requirements and how we could help
Just like our client mentioned in their kind review, we take client support seriously. Accounting isn't just about an annual tax return or set of accounts, but instead it's important that we are here to assist you throughout the year. Whether you prefer face-to-face meetings or remote, phone call or Whatsapp messaging - we are here to keep in touch and always on hand to help.
As professional accountants in Northwich, we can ensure your business is fully compliant and prepared when it comes to all things tax - including tax returns, company accounts, limited company director self-assessment, payroll, pensions and more! This means you can focus on running your business and benefit from us looking after everything in the background.
I've worked with Andrew for that long now!
He helped me get set up when I first went out on my own and has been there through every stage since. Sole trader, moving over to a Ltd company, VAT, payroll, tax returns, whatever needed doing has always been sorted.
What sets him apart is that he's actually there when you need him. I've lost count of the number of times I've picked up the phone with a question and he's talked me through it there and then.
Takes a lot of stress away knowing someone reliable is looking after everything in the background while I get on with running the business.
Can't fault him.
We recognise that a lot of businesses may already be working with an accountant but could be paying too much and not getting the accounting service that they deserve. As a local accountant, we will happily review your current set-up and provide a free quote for how we could help with your requirements – specific to your business.
Unlike other accountancy firms, you will always deal directly with your accountant and we are nearby for face-to-face meetings whenever needed.

Self-assessment can be completed by individuals, however we can help save you time and money by completing it for you. As well as ensuring it's accurate and inline with requirements, we can help ensure you only pay the tax amount due and don't miss anything that should be included.
No! As well as the benefits of choosing local, we provide fixed-fee monthly plans for all your accounting requirements. Simple tax returns start from just £20 per month (£70 per month for limited company accounts).
This means you can spread the cost throughout the year and also benefit from continual support and advice along the way.
We can! Please get in touch with a few details by completing the form at the top of this page, then we'd be happy to advise on how we could provide better value for your business.
Many of our clients in Northwich have moved to Emeraldsteel after being disappointed with another practice or seeing the benefits in choosing a local accountant rather than a national practice (who are often very difficult to get hold of!)
Here at Emeraldsteel, we work with sole-traders, partnerships and limited companies. This means we can provide a full range of accountancy which is based upon your legal structure.
As our clients grow, it's common that changing to a limited company can become more efficient so we can help take care of that for you.
Starting a new business? We can help with advising on the best structure for you from the start, simply get in touch
