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

A Five Star Exceptional Service!

Having had a very bad experience with our previous accountants, who made grave errors, both in filing a tax return and our company accounts, it was with huge relief when Dolan Accountancy was recommended to us from a trusted adviser.
Imran Salam immediately set to work on understanding what errors had taken place, why these had occurred and how he could and would make every effort to resolve these problems in a very tight timescale.
We were both impressed and extremely grateful for Imran's understanding, care and outstanding efforts that he made on our behalf to make the necessary changes in such a fast turnaround time.
Thank you for your outstanding work Imran!

100% Recommend

We have recently started using Dolan Accountancy after being let down by a previous accountant. Dolan were quick to rectify all the mistakes made and have put us on the right track going forward. They are quick to respond with any queries we have and we look forward to working with them for the foreseeable future.

Dolan Accountancy definitely 5*

Dolan Accountancy are definitely a 5 star company. After my last accountant left me high and dry just before the deadline for filing my self assessment, they stepped and and sorted everything out for me in record time. I am so happy I signed up with them. Polite, efficient, super knowledgeable and contactable is how a business should be run. Highly recommended.

INDISPENSABLE!

INDISPENSABLE!!
I was able to focus on customers and make money because Dolan had my back. They sorted out all the accounting details I sadly still do not understand (because I simply don’t care). And what a great partnership that is - I get more space in my brain and make more money because of their support. Use them - you will not regret it

Either incompetent or scammers

These people filed my tax submitting my yearly earning twice among other mistakes.... leading HMRC to try and charge me an additional £15,000.

After not trading for a year and PAYING them the close my company, one year later, they have not done closed it and not filed any other papers....meaning I have an additional £100 charge from HMRC.

Save yourself some trouble and find someone competent.

I came to Dolan Accountancy at very short notice to prepare my year end company accounts. They managed to get our accounts and personal tax returns completed and submitted on time despite this. They were very well organized and helpful. I love the Free Agent software you get access to as part of the service, which linked directly to my bank account. Thank you for such an excellent quality of service.

Highly Recommend.

After contacting several large and small accountancy companies, I eventually chose Dolan Accountancy to sign up with. Since they took over my company accounts I have received excellent advice and service. They are prompt and proactive in answering my questions and resolving my queries. They are polite and professional while still coming across as friendly and approachable. I highly recommend this relatively new company. I can see they doing well in the future.

Excellent one-stop shop for Limited Company contractor

I've been with Dolan Accountancy since launching my company when they helped me with the initial set-up, all the way through to submission of cessation accounts and company liquidation. Dolan have been fantastic through this process! I contacted a number of accountancy firms in the initial stages and all of them were unwilling to help me run a limited company whilst operating as self-declared as inside-IR35 (prior to April 2020), but Dolan took it in their stride and were phenomenal with their work and dedication. I can't praise them enough! My dedicated accountant, Angelika, was brilliant and helped me re-submit an earlier period of accounts for pension payments and take full advantage of the inside-IR35 classification that I was using. I'd highly recommend Dolan and hope to continue using them far into the future for help with my personal tax returns.

Fantastic Service, Kayleigh Green

After moving from an accountant I had become unsatisfied from to Dolan has been the best business decision I could have made as a director of a small limited company.

Kayleigh Green has been an absolute pleasure to work with an nothing is too much trouble for her, she is a delight to have as an accountant who I hope to work with for a long time.

It's been a pleasure working with Dolan Accountancy and Kayleigh Green in particular. She gave thorough advice on everything, her responses were quick and to the point. Dolan Accountancy delivers everything you'd need as an Ltd director for a reasonable price.

Proffesional, approachable and patient.

In the nearly two years that I have been using Dolan, Jaman has been nothing but friendly, professional, approachable, patient and knowledgeable. I have never had to wait for more than a few hours for a response to a question and any response I have had back, whatever the complexity of what I may have asked, has been clear, concise and accurate. I have recieved a truely world class service.

Accountants seem over worked and cannot…

Accountants seem over worked and cannot really give you the time for advice when it is needed, often receiving passive aggresive responses. In addition, requests to prepare for deadlines always seem to be a bit last minute/disorganised.

They have positioned themselves as IR35 specialists and this is not true

Excellent service at short notice

The team at Dolan helped me with my personal tax return at sort notice (one day before the deadline). Helped with advice on rental income, capital gains, allowable expenses and use of my partners tax free allowance. All at a very reasonable price. A highly recommend company.

Pleasant experience thus far.

Been with Dolan since I started my company in May 2018 and have to say that they have made my experience of setting up and running a company easy. Everyone that I've had the pleasure of dealing with at Dolan has done everything they can to assist me in a timely manner.
Other people I know have started companies at similar times also now have their accountancy services through Dolan, having first tried others and being disappointed.
Would wholeheartedly recommend.

Some of the best service I've received from an accountant

I've worked with a number of accountancy firms and umbrellas as a contractor and never been really satisfied with the service but Dolan have really managed to impress me.
All the staff are incredibly personable and nice but most importantly, resolve all my queries super fast. They are also really proactive (read they are good at chasing me ;)) at ensuring I submit all paperwork on time. A dream to work with.

I have read the other reviews and to be honest they have exceeded all my expectations in the service delivered. I have paid more elsewhere and received less.
