How Nixon Williams can help?
Our clients can rely on us to provide a dedicated accountant to look after them. We are generous with our time, so all clients are given a direct line to their accountant so they can contact them as many times as you, our client, needs. Our accountants explain everything in plain English with no accountancy jargon to ensure that you always feel in control of your finances.
Unlike many contractor accountants, at Nixon Williams, we will set up limited companies for all of our clients free of charge. When we form a new company we also provide assistance opening a business bank account and register the company for PAYE, VAT and corporation tax.
At Nixon Williams, we offer three packages, Gold, Platinum and Professional, designed and developed for contractors working in all sectors and anywhere in the UK.

Since Lee was appointed as my accountant, I can only provide positive feedback of the service and support that he has provided. His patience, clarity, and willingness to revisit my niggling queries to set my mind at ease is very much appreciated. Thank you, Lee.
I also received timely service and support from Luke during filing of my self assessment tax return this year. Again, much appreciated, Luke, thank you.

First and Last Accountant!
This is the first accountant I have used and will never change. I pay for the top package and definitely worth it. They help you with all sorts of enquiries which I had no clue about, where it is business, mortgage or anything else, they can support. Katie Murray and her team were extremely helpful.
