Local accountants with a modern approach
We’re based in Portchester, Hampshire, and work with businesses locally and further afield.
Although technology means we can work with clients wherever they are, we believe there is still real value in having an accountant who understands the local business community and is available when you need them.
Our approach combines personal service with modern cloud accounting technology.
No confusing jargon. No disappearing until your year-end accounts are due. No one-size-fits-all packages.
Just practical accountancy support from people who know your business.
More than just compliance
Of course, we’ll make sure your accounts and tax returns are prepared correctly and your statutory deadlines are dealt with.
But we don’t think that’s where our role ends.
Your accounts should help you understand your business.
That’s why we can help you look at your profitability, cash flow, costs, margins and financial performance, giving you information you can actually use to make better decisions.
Whether you’re just starting out, growing your team or looking to improve your profits, we’re here to help you make your numbers work harder.

Digital accounting made simple
We’re a cloud-based accountancy practice and work with leading platforms including Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and Dext.
Cloud accounting doesn’t have to mean complicated systems or doing everything yourself.
We’ll help you choose the right software, set it up properly and show you how to use it. And if you would rather we handled the bookkeeping for you, we can do that too.
The result is less paperwork, better information and more time for you to concentrate on running your business.

An accountant you can actually talk to
We know that business owners don’t always have accounting questions between 9 and 5.
Sometimes you just need someone to explain something, sense-check a decision or tell you what you need to do next.
That’s why we aim to be approachable and easy to deal with.
No jargon. No judgement. Just straightforward advice from people who understand small businesses.
Ready to feel more in control of your finances?
Whether you’re looking for a new accountant, need help getting your bookkeeping under control or simply want more useful information from your accounts, we’d love to hear from you.
Let’s have a conversation about your business and see how we can help.

Annual Statutory Accounts
Keeping up to date on the latest accounting standards and requirements can be tricky, especially if you’re not an accountant and you only do it once a year! Why not save yourself the headaches and sleepless nights by letting us take care of it for you?
Sole Traders & Partnership Accounts
Less paperwork. More time to run your business.
Being self-employed gives you freedom, but it also means keeping on top of your accounts, tax and HMRC deadlines.
Management Accounts
Know what's really happening in your business
Your annual accounts tell you what happened. Management accounts help you understand what is happening now.

"Sometimes, making a difference isn’t about donating money, it’s about sharing your skills.
Running a community project like The Trash Café isn’t just about rescuing food. Behind the scenes there are accounts, tax returns, bookkeeping, payroll, compliance, all the things that keep a project running and not always talked about.
This year, Hannah & her all female team at Accountancy Solutions have made a real difference to us by supporting The Trash Café with our accountancy.
That support doesn’t just save us time (and a lot of stress!), it also means more of our money stays where it belongs, helping feed local people, rescuing more food and supporting our community.
If you’re starting a business, running a CIC, a limited company or you’re a sole trader, one piece of advice I’d give is this…
Don’t wait until you’re stressed or in a panic to find an accountant.
Having the right support from the beginning can save you time, money and a lot of sleepless nights. Speaking from experience, Hannah has taken a huge weight off my shoulders so I can spend more time focusing on the things I’m actually good at.
They’re a friendly all female, local practice based in Portchester, supporting businesses of all sizes with bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, accounts and tax returns.
Because supporting local businesses, that support local communities, creates a ripple effect that benefits everyone.
Thank you, Hannah. Your support is helping us feed more people, rescue more food and continue making a difference. 💚"
