500+ Businesses Trust ABS Consultings
From solo founders to multi-site operators, our clients span every sector of the UK
economy. Here is a selection of the feedback they have shared with us.
Switching to ABS Consultings transformed our year-end process from a three-month ordeal into a four-week formality. They had our CT600 filed before I'd even started worrying about the deadline. The tax saving they identified through capital allowances alone covered their annual fee twice over.
ABS took our payroll for 45 staff from a monthly fire drill to a non-event. Payslips land in inboxes on time, HMRC filings go out automatically, and our pension contributions haven't had a single error in two years. That kind of reliability is worth an enormous amount to us as an employer.
We raised our seed round with investor-ready books prepared by ABS. The lead investor commented specifically on the quality of our financial documentation — something most startups fall down on. ABS's management accounts and financial model made us look like a team with serious operational maturity. That matters enormously to investors.
Our previous accountant filed our VAT returns incorrectly for two years and we ended up with an HMRC assessment for £22,000. ABS came in, sorted the mess out, successfully disputed a significant portion of the assessment, and then set up proper systems to ensure it never happens again. They've saved us a small fortune.
The management accounts service is exactly what I needed as a scaling business owner. Every month I receive a clear, well-commented report that tells me how we performed against budget, what our cash position looks like over the next twelve weeks, and what I need to focus on. It's replaced a whole afternoon of spreadsheet wrestling each month.
ABS identified an R&D tax credit opportunity we had no idea we qualified for. Our software development activity met the criteria, and the resulting claim generated a cash repayment of over £40,000 from HMRC. That funding went directly into our product roadmap. It was a genuinely transformative outcome for us.
I've been a sole trader for eight years and always dreaded self-assessment season. Since engaging ABS Consultings, my tax return is handled completely — they gather the information, prepare the return, review it with me, and file it. My bill has gone down three years running through perfectly legal planning I was entirely unaware of.
What sets ABS apart is that they actually understand our business. Our account manager asks sensible questions, gives relevant advice, and is genuinely invested in our success. That's rare in accounting. Most firms see you as a compliance ticket. ABS sees you as a client relationship — and that makes all the difference.
We onboarded with ABS six months into our financial year with books in a fairly disorganised state. Within four weeks they had everything reconciled, up to date, and running on Xero. By month-end one we had our first proper management accounts pack. The turnaround was remarkable and the communication throughout was excellent.
