Adams Watkins & Co have been my accountants for 8 years, whenever needed they have always been available to answer any questions or dispense advice. They handle all my accounting from tax returns to payroll with expertise and efficiency. An excellent accountant service with a personal touch, and affordable for a small business too. More...

My accountant is Gethyn Carr. I have total trust in him. Always goes extra mile to put me at ease. Reliable, efficient and have never had a problem. Would highly recommend.
What kind of accounting services do you provide?
We offer everything from basic advice to full accounts services and tax planning.
Bookkeeping, Vat, Payroll, Auto Enrolment Pensions, Year End Accounts for Sole Traders, Limited Companies, Partnerships etc. Self assessment tax returns for clients are included in any accounts package. Our level of involvment always depends on the clients needs and requests.
Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
Tax legislation is constantly evolving and most business owners are not aware of the rules, what they can and cannot claim, what extra reliefs may be available to them etc. Most people submitting their own accounts and tax returns end up paying the wrong amount of tax and can end of on the wrong end of a tax enquiry. Good accountants will pay for themselves by saving their clients money, ensuring they are compliant with the latest regulations and taking advantage of available reliefs. Limited Company accounts are even more difficult to get right as the accounts must comply with UK/International accounting standards which change regularly. A good accountant will be constantly updating their knowlege to ensure it is up to date in such matters.
What do you love most about your job?
Many of our clients have been with us for a long time and even become friends. Being thanked for our efforts on a regular basis is very rewarding and makes all the hard work seem worthwhile. Personally, I am driven by seeing my clients succeed. If I can help them achieve that, in any way, I also feel I have succeeded. It is a strong belief of mine that, if you love what you do, you will do it properly and conscientiously.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I trained with one of the largest UK accountancy firms and, although grateful for the training and experience, was shocked at the lack of customer care and poor standard of work. This was particularly true of the smaller, low value clients. If a client is paying for professional services, they deserve the same level of care whether they run a £50K business or a £50Million business. The partners had little involvement in the work which they presented to their clients and often allowed sub-standard work through. After gaining about ten years of experience I decided I wanted to set up my own Practice in which ALL clients would be treated with the respect they deserve and all work would be undertaken in a professional manner. A happy client remains your client!!!

We can often do this for less than the cost of your annual payroll licence so we can save you time AND money.
CIS refunds
Many CIS sub-contractors pay too much tax during the year and are entitled to tax refunds. We can prepare your accounts and reclaim your overpaid tax in a quick and efficient manner.
