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.
