I highly recommend Addison Accounts, especially for their Companies House identity verification service. As an overseas director with a non-biometric passport, I struggled to find a firm that could handle a manual ID check smoothly and at a fair price without overcomplicating things. Sam and the team were incredibly professional, responsive, and clear right from the start. They handled my verification remotely, quickly, and at a very competitive rate. The communication was excellent throughout the whole process. If you are an international director looking for a reliable, fairly priced accounting firm in the UK, look no further. 5 stars
As a fellow accountant having someone as efficient as Claire to help obtain a personal code for an overseas based client of mine was great. She was flexible when the online meeting time changed and went above and beyond the call of duty to speak to the client outside normal UK office hours. Excellent Service all round. Thanks again.

Really appreciated the advice I got from Claire. It's so hard to sort through the avalanche of information on the new requirement for digital quarterly income returns and the slew of Making Tax Digital compliant software. She's knowledgeable, listed out options very clearly, asked thoughtful questions and really helped me get my head around next steps. Highly recommended!
I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Claire Rulton from Addison Accounts about the financials of my new film company. Claire was incredibly knowledgeable and provided clear guidance on what to do and, importantly, what not to do when managing the financial aspects of our business. She answered all of my questions with patience and clarity, ensuring I felt confident in the next steps. Additionally, Claire assured me that she is available for further assistance whenever needed, which gives me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Claire and Addison Accounts for anyone looking for expert financial advice and support.
Claire has been extremely helpful with providing advice regarding capital gains tax. We had a one hour video call where she explained all options in a clear way that was easy to understand, even options that weren't relevant to provide transparency. She has been extremely prompt in progressing with work for us and has been really easy to speak with. I would highly recommend.

If you happen by chance to fall into this review and it helps form an opinion for you as to whether to use Claire and her team let me tell you this…
They are simply put rockstars!
With two limited companies and a sole trader VAT registered business - they continuously deliver simple way to understand guidance and help me through EVERY single thing I need.
Claire time and time again has been there in email, on message or on email to answer questions without fail and I simply would not have made it this far without her.
Through transitioning accountants, to mortgage support, to multiple complex accounting - there is no one else I would go to!
She’s honest as heck and will tell you as it is - no BS and I love it.
100 stars

Wow – thank you, Oliver! What an amazing review. We love being part of your business. Thanks again for your continued trust.
After my one-to-one with Claire about Making Tax Digital (MTD), I found her advice extremely helpful. As a sole trader, I appreciated how approachable she was and how clearly she explained my next steps and the timeline I need to follow. I would highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for guidance on MTD or other accounting matters..

We're so glad to hear Claire was able to make things clearer for you – MTD can feel overwhelming at first, especially when you're juggling everything as a sole trader.
Claire really enjoys helping people feel confident about their next steps, so she’ll be chuffed to hear your feedback. If you need any ongoing support whether it’s keeping on top of MTD deadlines, getting to grips with software, or just a quick check-in please let us know.
Thanks again for recommending us – it means a lot!

Having initially been concerned about self-assessment tax 'going digital' Claire was very reassuring. She provided exactly the information I needed, gave impartial advice and tailored all her advice to my circumstances.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really pleased to hear that Claire was able to ease your concerns around Making Tax Digital (MTD) and the changes to Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA). Helping clients navigate these updates with clear, personalised advice is exactly what we aim for.

Claire was very helpful in talking through some of the key points about moving from sole trader to Limited Company. She explained clearly what I need to be thinking about and how much I should expect to pay for various services. It was also useful to hear about the kind of ongoing support I can hope for - which is definitely more than just a once a year check in about my accounts!

Thanks so much, Becca I’m really glad our chat was helpful! There’s a lot to think about when switching to a limited company, but having the right support (and knowing what’s worth paying for) can make all the difference. Always happy to talk things through and yes, definitely more than just once a year!
Had an appointment with Claire to help me get clear on the process of VAT registering my business in future and clear up some bookkeeping things I wasn't clear on. She was excellent. So so clear, knowledgeable and easy to understand for someone like me who has a massive block when it comes to understanding such things.

I had a 1:1 accounts mentor session with Claire Rulton. I am a start up, and had a career change to move into the Digital marketing space and be a business owner. Claire was very patient and outlined what to look for, actions to take, how to make a numbers plan for the future. She has given me confidence and to just get out there. I am making plans to complete the actions we discussed and then come back to go ever the next stages. Thanks for your time.

Thanks Chris we try really hard to work with our clients and not be one of those accounts firms that you only speak to when you hand over the accounts at the end of the year.
