Choosing your accountant is a big deal.
They are the people that will save YOU money.
A good Accountant should be able to save you more than their fee, as well as giving you the peace of mind that your accounts and finances are in good hands.
We have put together a few handy pointers to help you on your way to choosing your Accountant, which we hope you find really useful.
This seems like an obvious question, BUT, believe it or not you do not need to hold an accounting qualification to trade as an 'Accountant.'

Christian explained everything clearly & simply without being patronising. This is my first year of trading in the real world rather than a side hustle online so I had lots of queries. I was never rushed, I was given great pointers for going forward. I felt that Christian is genuinely rooting for me & my business to succeed. 100% recommend & and will continue to use AC.

Achieving Clarity were highly recommended to me by a close family friend. Wendy and her team are friendly, professional and most importantly supportive. The admin and payroll teams are so efficient and always lead with genuine advice whenever Ive sought after it. I have found Jen to be a stand out team member who goes above and beyond for all her clients. Thank you Achieving Clarity!

Christian and the team at Achieving Clarity mentor me through the accounting needs of three limited companies including a football club and a Charity (CIO). The vat returns number thousands of transactions and weekly payment runs are extensive. The service at Achieving Clarity is similar to that of employing a team of chartered accountants at a fraction of the price.
They are always available via phone, message or e-mail to assist with even the smallest request at lightning speed. The team are more than happy to help me learn the processes so that my companies can be more self dependant if needed. At the same time they provide usable managment information that assists with making clearer and more informed decision.

Wendy came highly recommended and she has not disappointed. I came to her fairly distraught, as my current accountant was giving me figures that didnt seem quite right. As the owner of a young company that was doing very well, I needed an organised and meticulous accountant who was able to to save money and keep on top of my accounts. Wendy did just that.
She is efficient, personable and engages me in the numbers so I understand whats going on. Most importantly, she has put right some very incorrect figures and saved me a lot of money. Highly recommended.

After a bad experience with our previous accountant- Wendy, Hayden and the team at Achieving Clarity came to the rescue! They have been bombarded with our many phone calls, emails, demands and constant requests but have never once made us feel like were any trouble. They genuinely care about their clients and I would honestly recommend them to any person or business looking for a new accountant. I honestly feel like we can grow as a company with the team at Achieving Clarity behind us 100%

Wendy and her team are MORE than accountants; Ive had the WORST past experience with cold, stuffy, cooporate accountaing and i cannot tell you how DIFFERENT Wendy and her team are- they make you feel supported, held and like they are part of your personal team; Im SO excited to continue working with them- they make me feel heard and not stupid when it comes to things i dont know or understand : their clear guidance, help and supportive nature is a rarity in a world that feels scary to a solopreneur!

I would like to say a massive thank you to Wendy at Achieving Clarity for helping me with my complicated tax issues of being an Umbrella employee. Wendy did not use any accounting jargon with me which put my mind at ease and I was able to ask various questions without being judged. Wendy is an extreme professional and I would certainly highly recommend as her knowledge is impeccable! Thank you for your time Wendy. It is highly appreciated!

Recommend 100%. Since I have been self employed I changed many times accountant. From the moment I have started using the Achieving Clarity services I couldn't be more happy. The team is very friendly, ready to help and always ready to give you the right answers and direct you towards what is the best choice for you. I have been there client for 2 years unfortunately for my personal circumstances I need to stop as self employed. You never know what will be the future. I know one thing I will choose you guys again. Great work Achieving Clarity thank you for everything.

I very rarely leave a review for anyone on Google but I feel like people need to know. Achieving Clarity have been an absolute god send! We started our farming business in 2020, they have made the paperwork side of the business flow extremely smooth. It was very overwhelming to learn about everything that needs to be submitted to the HMRC but with an amazing team behind, they make our lives that much easier.
I would like to say a massive THANK YOU to; Wendy, Terry, Hayden, Brendan, Jen, Christian, Rob and everyone else at Achieving Clarity. Thanks for making everything easy! From everyone at Petersons Farm Produce

I started working with Achieving Clarity on a recommendation from my bookkeeper. The transition was very smooth and they are extremely organised and get in contact well in advance of upcoming deadlines to ensure everything is submitted in good time. In addition this year had been particularly difficult for me with family illness. The team has been very supportive and treated me like a human rather than an invoice payer which tends to be so rare these days. I highly recommend this company.

I can't recommend Achieving Clarity enough. They have made it so easy for me to deal with my annual accounts, I no longer have the headache of trying to sort it out myself. Any enquiries or concerns that i've had, they have been at the other end of the phone / email to help me. If you're looking for an accountant that's here to help you, and your business, then honestly don't look any further.

Without doubt the exceptional attention to detail and unwavering professionalism exhibited by their entire team sets them apart. From the start, Achieving Clarity showcased a level of commitment that's hard to find. Their meticulous approach ensured my financial matters were handled with precision, leaving no room for error. It's evident they genuinely care about their clients.
What truly distinguishes them is their tax-saving advice. Beyond managing finances, they guided me on optimizing tax liabilities. Their expert recommendations translated into significant savings, making me realize how much I would have otherwise missed out on. The team at Achieving Clarity is a pleasure to work with. Their clear communication, proactive approach, and genuine concern for their clients' financial success make them more than just an accounting firm they're true partners in your financial journey.

Changed to this firm after the previous firm in whitstable I used failed to comply with a VAT inspection correctly. And how refreshing to meet a accountancy firm, led by Wendy that is not all about how much money they can charge but Instead is about. How can they help there client and this is how good they are. They picked up the mess the last accountants made with VAT and got me money back from the VAT man. No mean feat Im sure you will agree. Ongoing they are friendly Helpful And very very diligent. What more could a business want.

I am fairly new to Achieving Clarity but Wendy and her team are positive and helpful and they were prompt at dealing with my accounts for my Tax Return. Wendy has also been proactive in helping me take my business forward and, being a sole trader, it has been great having Wendy's support and enthusiasm. A refreshing change from an accountants who only seem interested in the figures! Thanks Wendy and team

After receiving poor advice and services from a previous company, I was reluctant to put my faith in someone else, I am now very glad I did make the move to achieving clarity, meeting with the team for the first time I felt so relieved to know I was in safe hands, Everyone was so welcoming and understanding, There is a reason people seek out help and advice from professionals such as themselves and thats because there are so many of us out there that can do great things, but we dont all understand every aspect of business, Achieving clarity made that side of things a lot easier to understand and digest, any anxiety or stresses I had previously about anything were quickly cleared up and given an explanation, If you are receiving poor advice and services from someone then reach out to these guys, i cant recommend the achieving clarity team enough.
