1st Formations is primarily a company-formation and business-administration provider, but it also offers fixed-price accounting plans for limited companies. It is therefore most relevant to founders who want formation and accounting services in the same ecosystem. Its published accounting plans include different levels of Xero, payroll, VAT and company support. Trustpilot feedback is strongly positive overall, particularly around the formation process, although the accounting service should be compared separately from the formation service.

Accounting Wise offers bespoke and pre-built packages with accounting, tax, bookkeeping and payroll services. Its public pricing pages emphasise customisation, which can be useful when a business has requirements that do not fit a standard package. Trustpilot feedback is predominantly positive and frequently mentions responsive communication and helpful staff, although individual reviews also raise concerns about service transitions, extra charges and communication. Check what is included in the specific package offered to you.

Crunch combines accounting software with accountant support and publishes several service levels for sole traders and limited companies. It can be attractive to businesses that want a technology-led workflow alongside professional support. Public Trustpilot reviews are mixed: many praise the software, expertise and helpful staff, while some recent reviews describe communication delays or dissatisfaction with support. Compare the exact service level rather than assuming every plan provides the same accountant access.

Gorilla has a strong contractor and freelancer focus and promotes dedicated accountant support, fixed monthly pricing and software included with its packages. Public Trustpilot feedback is highly positive overall, with reviewers frequently mentioning responsive support and help with contracting and tax. The review record also contains individual customer experiences, so prospective clients should check the latest reviews and the exact scope of the package before signing up.

Mazuma publishes fixed monthly packages and offers a broad range of bookkeeping and tax services. Its entry sole-trader package is clearly published, which makes initial price comparison easier. Trustpilot feedback is mixed compared with some of the other firms covered here: positive reviews discuss helpful staff and support, while some recent reviews raise concerns about communication, turnaround times and what particular packages include. Confirm the precise service scope and current terms before joining.

More Than Accountants provides online accounting services for businesses and advertises monthly packages. Trustpilot currently shows a very high overall score and hundreds of reviews, with recent customers frequently discussing efficient service and clear communication. Trustpilot also notes that the company has not recently invited customers to review, which is relevant when interpreting how representative the current review profile may be. Compare the quoted package against the actual work your business needs.

TaxAssist combines a national network of local practices with online support. It offers a broad service range, including accounts, tax, bookkeeping, VAT and payroll, and can suit businesses that want the option of local contact. Public Trustpilot feedback is broadly positive and often highlights friendly, efficient support, while some reviews report delays or communication issues at particular offices. Because service delivery can vary by local practice, ask exactly who will handle the account and what is included in the quote.

Taxfix, formerly TaxScouts, is particularly focused on digital tax filing and Self Assessment, with UK-accredited accountants handling returns. The service is a different proposition from a full small-business accountancy package: it is especially relevant when the primary requirement is personal tax-return preparation and related support. Taxfix states that it has 7,000+ UK Trustpilot reviews at 4.8/5. Promotional prices should be distinguished from the standard plan prices when comparing costs.

The Accountancy Partnership offers dedicated-accountant packages across sole traders, companies, contractors and freelancers. The published package includes accounting software, accounts and tax work, with additional support such as tax-efficiency reviews. Trustpilot feedback is broadly positive and often highlights helpful communication and dedicated-accountant support, while some reviews mention delays or communication issues. The package scope and turnover-based pricing should be checked for the individual business.
