Why Manchester businesses choose us

We’ve been based in Manchester since 1948. Jack Ross Chartered Accountants started in Salford and we’re still here – now at Barnfield House on The Approach, a short walk from Salford Central station. Our Manchester accountants work with businesses across the city region and beyond.

That means we understand the local business landscape. We work with a range of clients – owner-managed businesses, partnerships and limited companies across tech, professional services and other sectors. If you want a chartered accountant who knows Manchester and can meet face to face, we’re a good fit.

Everything under one roof

Most businesses need more than just year-end accounts. Our accountancy practice offers a range of services:

  • Statutory accounts and corporation tax
  • Management accounts and business advisory services
  • Record-keeping and filing
  • PAYE and auto-enrolment
  • Tax planning and tax returns
  • Assurance services (through our group practice)
  • Company secretarial and filing

Having your accountant and auditor under one roof means we handle your compliance and provide business advisors when you need strategic input – without having to brief a separate firm.

Cloud accounting

We work with Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and Sage. If you’re still using spreadsheets or desktop software, we can help you move to cloud accounting – it makes record-keeping faster, gives you real-time visibility, and makes our accounting work more efficient (which keeps your fees down).

Fees and how we work

We quote fixed fees for all accounting services. You’ll know the cost before we start – no hourly billing surprises. For ongoing work we agree a monthly retainer. For one-off work like year-end accounts or annual returns, we quote per job.

Most of our work is done remotely using cloud software and secure file sharing. But we’re always available for face-to-face meetings at our Manchester office if you prefer.

Client Feedback

What our clients say

"The Jack Ross Team has been an absolute delight. Professional, nice and fast during the Audit procedure. Thank you Jack Ross Team. Engaging with the Jack Ross Team for our audit was one of the best decisions we've made this fiscal year. I was particularly impressed with their swift audit process. Unlike other firms that drag on for weeks, Jack Ross was able to conclude our audit in record time without cutting corners. Their professionalism is unparalleled; from initial consultation to final report, every interaction was marked by courtesy, respect, and a deep understanding of our unique business needs. But what surprised me most was their warmth and friendliness; they made a typically stressful process feel almost enjoyable. It's refreshing to work with a team that combines speed and efficiency with such high levels of customer service. If you're looking for an audit service that respects your time without compromising on quality, then look no further than Jack Ross Audit."

Sofia Carlini

Financial Controller

"Excellent service from the Jack Ross Audit Team. They gave us good advice and completed a very efficient audit. They have a friendly and competent team. I would surely recommend them. I've always considered auditing a cumbersome process, but my experience with the Jack Ross Audit Team has completely changed my perspective. Their service was impeccable from start to finish. The team not only offered us invaluable advice to improve our financial systems, but they also executed an extremely efficient audit that was far less intrusive than I've experienced in the past. What truly sets Jack Ross Audit apart, however, is their team. Each member we interacted with was incredibly competent and genuinely friendly and approachable. They made us feel like a valued client rather than just another case file. If you're unsure which firm to choose for your audit, I can't recommend Jack Ross Audit highly enough. Their blend of professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care for their clients is rare."
