Specialist Accountants For Sole Traders And Partnerships
Being a sole trader or partner gives you freedom and control, but it also means handling all the admin yourself. Sorting receipts, tracking expenses, and filing Self Assessment returns quickly becomes overwhelming when you'd rather focus on your customers and growing your business.
At Simply Accounts, we take care of the numbers for you. From bookkeeping, CIS, VAT, tax returns, HMRC queries, and more. We handle everything so you can run your business with less stress and more confidence. With clear guidance, organised records, and friendly support whenever you need it, you're never left to manage the admin alone.

Leah Jones

“I would highly recommend Simply Accounts - professional, thorough and approachable. The support from Mike and his team has always been fantastic, but during this period of Coronavirus they have been just awesome. Always there with advice and guidance when our businesses have been in real need of support.”
Pam Bellingham
Radiate Arts CIC
“Mike is the first accountant I have come across who speaks a language I understand! He is friendly, straightforward and user friendly! His fees do not fill me with dread and I feel confident to ask his advice informally without worrying that this will ramp up the charges.”
Carol Moore
Carol Moore Associates Limited
“We moved over to Mike at Simply Accounts last year. The advice we get is clear and effective, communications are easy to understand and really helpful. Fee-wise, we are really happy. The direct debit option helps spread the cost and we don't get charged every time we phone for advice, which has been a lot during the Covid outbreak. We cannot recommend them enough!”
Matt Cooper
Car Clinic MOT Centre, Ellesmere Port
“After leaving my previous accountant to join Simply Accounts, I cannot fault them. Mike, Sandy, Matt & the team have been exceptional from the start. They go above and beyond in assisting whatever needs you may have, always make time for you and make you feel a welcome client. Really good service and company!”
