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.

Great Service and Support
I found Matt, my accountant, to be both knowledgeable & supportive. His most recent guidance enabled me to both reduce my costs and increase my revenue, key goals for any business! He responds swiftly to my emails and keeps it simple.
