I've been a client of YF Accounting for some time now, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the service I've received. From day one, Yoni has been professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly helpful in managing my accounting and tax affairs. What really sets Yoni apart is his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. He has always taken the time to explain everything clearly and break everything down to make sure i understand clearly. Communication is always prompt, and no question is ever too small.

Choosing an accountant

How to choose accountants in Salford

Most people comparing accountants in Salford are really asking one question: who will look after this properly, for a price agreed in advance? Here is what is worth comparing before you sign anything, and what you get from us as your accountant in Salford, whether you run a limited company in Eccles, contract at MediaCity, or hold a couple of rental flats near the Quays.

  • Fixed fees, agreed up frontHourly billing means the bill only turns up after the work is done. Our fees are fixed and published, so you know what it costs before we start and nothing lands as a surprise.
  • One accountant who knows your nameYou deal with Yoni Finke FCCA directly, not a rota of junior staff. That is the difference between an accountant in Salford who knows your business and one who reads your file back to you each time you ring.
  • Qualified and accreditedACCA accredited, Xero and QuickBooks certified. It is worth asking any Salford firm you are comparing which professional body regulates them, because not every practice on the high street is regulated at all.
  • Digital, so location never slows you downEverything runs in the cloud, so we look after Salford businesses without either of us losing half a day to a meeting. Records, approvals and questions all happen where you already are.
  • Proactive, not just complianceFiling accounts on time is the minimum, not the value. The value sits in the conversation before your year end, while there is still something we can do about the tax bill.
  • Unlimited support, no meter runningRing or email as often as you need to. Questions asked early are far cheaper to answer than problems found late, so we would much rather you asked.
Management accounts

Monthly management accounts in Salford

We turn your bookkeeping into a clear monthly or quarterly report covering profit, cash and the few figures that actually drive your decisions, for businesses from Salford Quays and MediaCity to Eccles, Swinton and Walkden.

Questions

Accountants in Salford FAQs

Working with us

How much does an accountant in Salford cost?+
Our fees are fixed and published: sole traders from £35/month, limited companies from £50/month, and full bookkeeping, VAT and payroll support from £200/month. Exact written quote on a free call. See pricing.
Do you work with MediaCity and Salford Quays businesses?+
Yes, and a large share of our Salford clients are based right around MediaCity and Salford Quays: media agencies, freelancers, contractors and digital startups. We understand project-based income, retainers and the cash-flow swings that come with them, and we can advise on R&D claims and the right moment to register for VAT.
Do I have to be based in Salford to work with you?+
No. We’re a Manchester-based practice with clients right across Salford, from the Quays and MediaCity out to Eccles, Swinton and Walkden. Everything runs over Zoom, email and secure file sharing, so you get the responsiveness of a local accountant without anyone having to drive anywhere. If you’d prefer to meet in person, we’re about 20 minutes away. We look after neighbouring areas the same way, including Bury and Whitefield.
Do you understand agency and project-based businesses?+
Yes. Irregular project income, retainers, freelancer and contractor costs, and the cash-flow swings that come with them are exactly what our management reporting is designed around.
We never have time for accountant meetings. How does this work?+
Everything is digital: Xero or QuickBooks, receipts captured on your phone, queries answered by email or a quick call. Most Salford clients spend less than an hour a quarter on their accounts.
Can you take over from our current accountant mid-year?+
Yes. Switching takes you about ten minutes and we handle the rest, including professional clearance and HMRC authorisation. Here’s how it works.

Choosing, bookkeeping and management accounts

What should I look for when comparing accountants in Salford?+
Three things. First, whether the fee is fixed and written down or billed by the hour. Second, who you will actually speak to day to day, and whether they hold a practising qualification with a body such as the ACCA. Third, whether they are proactive, meaning they raise things with you before deadlines rather than after them. Price matters, but the cheapest quote is often the dearest bill once the extras are added. Our fees are published in full on our pricing page.
Do you handle Corporation Tax and VAT for Salford limited companies?+
Yes, both are included in the fixed monthly fee. Corporation Tax is charged at the small profits rate of 19% on profits up to £50,000 and at the main rate of 25% on profits over £250,000, with Marginal Relief tapering the rate in between (rates per gov.uk). We prepare the statutory accounts, file the CT600, and keep VAT returns filed on time under Making Tax Digital. More detail on our accounts and Corporation Tax and VAT pages.
How much do monthly management accounts cost in Salford?+
It is a fixed monthly fee, set by how often you want the figures and how much bookkeeping sits underneath. Ongoing bookkeeping, VAT and reporting support starts from £200/month, with an exact written quote on a free call. See pricing.
Do Salford Quays and MediaCity startups really need management accounts?+
If your income is lumpy, you are raising money, or you are weighing up a hire or a new project, yes. Management accounts turn project-based income and retainers into a clear picture of what you can actually afford. They also make VAT planning easier as you approach the £90,000 registration threshold.
How much does bookkeeping in Salford cost?+
Bookkeeping is a fixed monthly fee, set by your transaction volume and whether you need VAT and payroll too. Full bookkeeping, VAT and payroll support starts from £200/month, with an exact written quote on a free call. See pricing.
