About Us

Apex Associates LLP is a boutique accounting practice which was founded in 1998. Since then, we have provided a personalised service to hundreds of local companies, sole traders and self-employed individuals around The UK.

We attribute our substantial yearly growth to our specialist expertise, hard work and professionalism.



You will find that by specialising, Apex Associates understands the challenges facing:

✔ Pro-Service Providers
✔ Retailers
✔ Healthcare Specialists

‍
Within our team, we have decades of experience and knowledge, not just in accounting but also in business growth.  We will show you what works in your industry and point out the pitfalls which await unwary business owners.

We do not advise on things outside of our area (e.g. marketing, sales, operations, etc), but we do know what actions will maximize your profitability and help your business grow.  It is these two things that set us apart from other accountants

Some accountants try to help their clients with everything including sales, marketing, legal advice, operational procedure, in-house training etc.  Accountants are not specialists in these areas and so these things usually go wrong. RSM Tenon, the seventh largest accounting firm in the UK, moved into business advisory services and went into insolvency in August 2013.

Other accountants purely focus on accounts and tax.  They are all about compliance and tax. This is quite probably because they do not understand how to grow a business and just want to focus on the figures.  This is better than offering a service they are not expert in but your accountant should be helping you to achieve your business goals- whether this is growth, more profit, less time at work and more with the family etc.

Starting a Company

It can be daunting starting a new company- especially if you have just left employment. You need to focus on building your customer base, raising your profile and delivering your products and/or services. The last thing you need to worry about is setting it up correctly. We can do this for you.

Start Your Business with Confidence

Starting a new business can be daunting, particularly if you have recently left employment. With your focus on winning customers, building your reputation and delivering your products or services, getting the structure and financial foundations right can feel like another challenge. We can take care of this with you.

‍

The first question is whether a limited company is right for you. Depending on your circumstances, operating as a sole trader or limited liability partnership may be more suitable. We can explain the advantages and responsibilities of each option, helping you choose a structure that supports your plans and gives you the right level of protection.

‍

From setting up your business to managing your ongoing obligations, we provide practical support from the outset. This can include company formation, providing a registered office address and advising contractors on IR35. Our aim is to give you a strong foundation and the confidence to focus on building your business.
