About Us
For business owners, by business owners
Making Your Life Easier
Back in 1990, we needed an accountant who actually got what running a business felt like—the stress, the sleepless nights, the endless to-do list. We couldn’t find one, so we became that accountant ourselves.
We’ve run everything from chip shops to paintball centres, so we know first-hand what keeps business owners up at night. Now, we help take that weight off your shoulders.
Our job? Making your life easier. Whether that means getting your finances sorted, saving you money, or just giving you back some headspace, we’ll build a team around you to get it done.
Our Mission & Growth
We started Accounts Direct because business owners deserved better—better advice, better service, and accountants who actually understand what running a business feels like.
That mission hasn’t changed.
What has changed is our reach. We’ve grown from a single office to a team that supports businesses across the UK and beyond. Now, with offices in Manchester, London, Belfast, Leeds, and India, we’re here to help more business owners get their finances sorted—wherever they are.
No matter where you’re based, you’ll get the same straight-talking, no-nonsense advice that’s built around you and your business.
