Information provided by various external sources

WELCOME TO PROACTIVE CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS LIMITED We are a firm of Chartered Accountants with a difference (hence the name!). Traditionally your Accountant behaves in a “reactive” way reporting on historic trading (sometimes many months later). This feedback is useless to a vibrant business looking for instant feedback on: Am I making any money? If I am why does it not show in my bank? Is my gross margin better or worse than my competitors? How can I keep my tax bills to a minimum? How can I take money out of the business in the most tax efficient way? We provide instant answers by using the most up to date “cloud based” accounts software so an owner can answer these questions instantly. Not only that but we agree fees in advance and provide 12 months interest free credit on these. We empathise with our Clients and understand the importance of returning phone calls and replying instantly to Client queries and worries-Something many Professional Firms forget!

Accountants for life

Accountants for life. Having been through many in the first few years of our business, finally we found an accountant that was working in our best interest, does things when they say they will, and is available when you ask.

You've found the right team, go for it.

Mick McDermott - Amazing service

I have been working with Proactive the last 6 months and they have been incredible from the outset. Zakie has been at hand to answer the endless questions I have no matter how silly he helped explain everything in great detail.

The service has helped improve my business and I know have a idea of what I need to get a mortgage in the coming months from the help of Jon and zakie.

Couldn't recommend Proactive enough .Great service and really friendly people to work with

Thanks

Attentive, thorough, personal & professional accountants who provide a world class service!

The service given by Zakie in my first few weeks of working with him & Jon has been nothing short of outstanding.

Having worked with a previous accountant firm before & being massively underwhelmed by the skills and service, I now understand working with Zakie & Jon what a premium world class service is!

They are always in constant communication, very professional & at the same time very personal which I love.

I would recommend the work of Proactive accounting to anyone. It has been a game changer for my business already!

Outstanding first class service

I have been with Proactive accountants for over a year now and I will never look back. These guys go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. Nothing is too much hassle. Every e-mail and phone call is answered straight away and they really are "proactive". Zakie is the main accountant I would deal with and he is a breath of fresh air when it comes to making my business accounts as stress free and streamlined as possible. Jon will also oversee everything and is on hand to answer anything that pops into my head.
A great company with a fantastic work ethic. Don't know what I would do without them.
Thanks guys!

Pro-active accounting has given me an invaluable amount of clarity over my business taxes & financial planning. I specifically work with James & Janice, who together have made my most recent tax return completely stress-free. No request is ever too much trouble, I know I can expert advice on hand in record speed. I can't recommend Pro-active Accounting enough.

From my initially meeting with Jon & James they explained how they could assist me in the completion of my self assessment tax return.

Proactive Accountants First Class Service

We have been using Proactive for our complete accounts package for 5 years now and find them a great company to work with, Jon is always on the ball to save you as much money as possible and only ever a phone call away when you need advice. Unlike other accountants we have used it's one fixed monthly fee and no nasty surprises at year end.

Pro-Active Accounting, their service is in the name.

We have been with Pro-Active accounting now for a number of years and cannot fault their professional, "pro-active" approach to our accounting requirements. Always at the end of the phone ready to give advice on any business issue. We cannot fault them and would not hesitate to recommend them to any business, no matter their size.
