Léopold ForestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been using A&L for my business since launch for more than 2 years and it has been working very efficient. They are very proficient in using the latest technologies, from helping me with my accounts, managing better my costs, helping with my payroll, but also on the legal side, helping me understand better legal documents and registering my trademark. A big praise to Sam Millward, who has been overseeing my account very well there. Cannot recommend more ! Santana KaikiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Accounts and Legal are always so reliable and their communication is fantastic. As we are an international business they always have time for our queries and provide suitable solution when needed. Special mention to the payroll team for always being attentive. chloeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephanie at A&L has been extremely helpful in supporting me with any finance queries I may have. She have offered to complete training for certain aspects that I needed help with, and is always more than happy to assist. Carys has also been great in supporting and facilitating training. Gary BoothTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great team to have on-side.............. Providing a professional but very personal approach, A&L have been a breath of fresh air throughout our business expansion into the UK. Since being introduced to the company, A&L have readily provided sound, practical advice and have managed our accounts meticulously well. Amy and Shagun, which aptly means 'blessing' in India, have been absolute stand-outs in the support they have provided. I would highly recommend A&L to any business/institution looking for solid, long-term financial support. A quick update to this review, a year on and we are still receiving amazing support from A&L. A particular shout-out to our more recent A&L team - Carys and Stephanie in the accounting area and Millie in payroll. Thanks for your ongoing support, patience and good humour.

Lotte MansonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been with Accounts and Legal a couple of months now and couldn't be happier with their service. From initial onboarding all the staff have been great. Our accountant is Sam Millward and from our first meeting both myself and my business partner felt at ease and confident we had made the right choice. Sam is patient with us, explaining all things finance so we both understand. Thanks Sam, this part of the business is no longer scary for us and actually enjoyable! Wick GuruTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had the pleasure of working with Sam for my accounting needs, and I couldn't be more impressed. Sam is incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and always goes the extra mile to ensure everything is in order. He’s quick to respond to any questions and takes the time to explain things in an easy-to-understand way. His enthusiasm is infectious, and he consistently goes above and beyond. I’m incredibly grateful to have him as my accountant. Thank you, Sam, for everything you do! Adam FarrugiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After some pretty disappointing experiences with accountancy firms I have been fortunate to finally find a service that meets my needs. The onboarding has been smooth and Hannah has been brilliant (as have all the team) in helping me with what can be seen as a daunting process. The price is competitive and I am already more positive in the results that can be achieved for my business Temi OlugbengaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired A&L for our accounting needs & the process has been absolute bliss. After having a rough time with our previous accountant, Hannah McBride made sure the process of onboarding was smooth & fun.

FounderThe brains behind the operation, Neil set up Accounts and Legal back in 2015 driven by a desire to make accounting more useful for business owners.
After working as a business analyst at Bain Capital, Neil became adept at looking at businesses, identifying their problems, and working out how to help.
