Written by the company

Dolan Accountancy was set up by Simon J Dolan, the man behind the well-known brand SJD Accountancy. With over 25 years experience in the contracting marketing, Dolan Accountancy has the heritage, reputation and credibility you can trust. Working closely with our sister company, ContractorUmbrella, it means we can offer one low cost, fixed fee package at £125 + VAT per month. This gives you the flexibility of using both our Limited Company Accountancy Services and our award winning Umbrella Service, for one inclusive cost. We don’t believe in tiered packages or hidden extra fees, instead we aim to give you everything you need, including: - Free Company Formation – This is where it all begins. Once you have decided on an available name, we will form your company free of charge (if using our accountancy services) and it will be ready for you to use in as little as three hours. - Free use of ContractorUmbrella – With changes in Public Sector IR35 Legislation we understand that sometimes you are required to contract via an umbrella company. We will keep your limited company ticking over, while you work margin free via our sister company, Contractor Umbrella. - A Dedicated Accountant – Your accountant will be there for any company or personal tax advice that you require. We will never outsource work, even to internal teams. - Free Access to FreeAgent – The founder behind the multi award winning FreeAgent platform was one of Simon’s first clients, therefore it only seems fitting that we offer all of our clients access to FreeAgent, free of charge. - Free Business Banking – We have decided to waive our commission so our clients can use Tide free of charge for the first year. - Unlimited IR35 Status Reviews – We will review all of your contracts for IR35 purposes and provide you with our professional opinion as to its status. - Free Registered and Director’s Service Office Address – Sometimes you just don’t want your home address on display at Companies House. When you sign up to our accountancy services, we will offer the use of our address as an alternative. - Your Business and Personal Taxation Needs – This includes Company Accounts, Director’s Personal Tax Return, VAT Returns, Payroll, Corporation Tax and Dividend advice, to name just a few. If you’d like to find out more about how Dolan Accountancy can help you and your business, please give us a call on 01442 795100 or email sophie.lewis@dolanaccountancy.com or jaime.thorpe@dolanaccountancy.com

Emma Young

Ever since Emma was assigned as our company's dedicated accountant, we couldn't be happier with how it is going.

Emma has pulled out all of the stops, with regards to getting our accounts in order, we're aware of how much extra work this has involved, and we really do appreciate it.

Our experience of Dolan, and especially Emma is now second to none, and would recommend them both to anyone looking for an accountancy firm to look after their accounts.

My personal experience with Dolan

My personal experience with the accountancy has been generally good. They seem to have encountered some challenges in recent times to source new accountants when employees leave the business, and subsequently, there may be a delay in the firm responding to you.

I do now have Thiviya who has been assigned as my personal accountant. Communication with her has been relatively easy and general service has been satisfactory.

Top-notch accounting service!

I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I’ve received from Thiviya and Adam. They’ve been quick to respond and proactive in addressing any concerns I’ve had. Their advice has been practical and easy to understand, making complex matters much more manageable. It’s clear they genuinely care about providing excellent support, and I feel confident with them handling my accounts. If you're looking for dependable and professional accountants, look no further!

Having recently set up a limited company Dolan Accountancy made the whole process seamless, facilitating all of the administration in an effective and efficient manner. The team is very proactive, especially Noor Fiaz and Adam Boustred who understand my requirements and providing advice to be able to plan ahead.
Would not hesitate in recommending this firm to anyone seeking accountancy support.

First Class Service

I feel in recent times, Customers are quick to express their dissatisfaction when receiving poor service but rarely express their feelings when they receive a good service. So I would like to extended my sincere gratitude and thanks to Emma for the first class service that I've received, since Emma become my company accountant.

I would like to express how delighted I am and the great pleasure I get when working with Emma. Emma is by far the best accountant that I've had the pleasure to meet and work with, I feel extremely fortunate and privileged to have Emma assigned to work on the company accounts.

Since the first time I engaged with Emma, she has been nothing short of a true professional, always putting the Customer at the fore front of her mind, a can do attitude and going the extra mile to ensure I have everything I have needed, in a timely manner. Emma is meticulous, tentative, trustworthy and a truly genuine person. Emma is without doubt a shining light and a great asset of the Dolan Accountancy and I hope that I have the pleasure of continuing to work with Emma as my company accountant for the foreseeable future.

Excellent Service from Dolan Accountancy

After a very positive experience with Contractor Umbrella, I chose Dolan Accountancy to assist with incorporating a limited company. I'm very pleased with the service provided by Thiviya and Adam who have helped me through the entire process, from company incorporation and getting started with FreeAgent to handling a company name change. Throughout this journey, I have felt fully supported, with regular updates, prompt answers to my questions, and efficient resolution of any issues. Calls are answered promptly by reception and the staff are friendly and professional. The continuity of service has been excellent and I have always received timely responses, ensuring smooth progress, so I'm able to focus on my clientele.

Angelika Kubik (Dolan Accountancy)

My assigned Accountant (Angelika Kubik) is absolutely great.

Dealing with Angelika (Dolan Accountancy) is an absolute pleasure, all emails/phone calls returned in a timely manner & most importantly all queries answered. I like the fact that Dolan Accountancy have defined SLAs which they make publicly available and they always meet these (if not earlier).

Angelika is a thorough professional in her dealings and is always a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Angelika & Dolan Accountancy as the go to firm for Ltd Company Contractors.

I am having a really great experience with Dolan Accountancy. The team is very proactive who take time to clearly understand my needs. Noor Fiaz has been assigned to help me and it’s great to have a single point of contact who understands my ongoing needs and is then best placed to plan ahead.
The whole team is kind and curious and treat me as an individual and valued client.
Would definitely recommend.

Noor Fiaz (Dolan Accountancy)

Noor has been assigned as my dedicated accountant through Dolan. Within a week in the role she has already identified a number of actions that I can take to immediately return value to myself as Director of my Ltd. She's conscientious, detail-oriented and absolutely clear in both the legal positions and documentation of processes to be undertaken. She's very talented at explaining concepts and strategies for efficient tax handling to clients in an approachable way. She has already returned the cost of my Accountancy package back to my accounts several times over, and I couldn't be happier. She's a credit to Dolan.

I left and then came back

UPDATE; My previous review of Dolan gave them one star based on an experience I had with them in 2023. You will see my original review below. I left Dolan and started working with another accountancy firm. I missed using FreeAgent and I missed the regular contact that I had with Dolan despite the issues I had with changing accountants several times in a very short space of time. They did have a lot of issues with staff, but after speaking with them after leaving my one star review, and explaining the reasons for this I decided to return. After now being with them for three months, I can say that it must’ve just been one of those things. The service I’ve received on returning is excellent. The FreeAgent app is excellent and I have started to recommend Dolan to colleagues, as I think they do provide a very good and more importantly good for value service.

Lovely people but cannot run even their own business. I was with Dolan for less than a year. In that time I had three separate ‘dedicated accountants’. Something is clearly going on within the business and this is effecting their service and ability to retain staff. I had to complete my own self assessment as discussions around how to complete it were lost when the second accountant left. I would advise that you avoid using Dolan.

I moved to Dolan in May from another accountancy that’d I’d been with for many years and already within this short amount of time I have received such an amazing service in all aspects from the migrating over to them, to the day to day and even annual reporting.
Both Emma & Lucy have constantly been supportive, proactive and very reactive with anything that is required or queried.

They quickly respond with all information and go over and above to provide support and clarity to my requirements.

I wished I had moved to Dolan many years ago so I would highly recommend Dolan to anyone if you are looking for a highly professional, supportive, fast & efficient friendly accountancy.

Great experience - been there for 3.5 years

I have been with Dolan for over three years and can only recommend them. Steven has been such a help on my journey of setting up my own company and running it on a daily basis. He not only does all the accounting bits, but also advises me on IR 35 status of my contracts, which is super helpful.
The team at Dolan and especially Steven and Emma are complete stars - they are super organised and helpful and very responsive (which has saved me once or twice when I have forgotten a deadline for submitting something). I can wholeheartedly recommend them.

Unreliable accountancy

We've been their client for a few years, but we decided to change. On several occasions they made mistakes that had to be fixed afterwards (VAT return, payslips, etc.), that would have costed us thousands of pounds if not caught by us. Overall, we couldn't rely on them, which is a must for an accountancy.
