Your own Dedicated, Qualified Accountant
Offering You a Transparent Service
Property Investments
Property investments own a portfolio of rental properties based in York.
​
"Glass Accountants allows us to focus on our tenants wellbeing instead of the day to day bookkeeping of our properties.
​
The largest benefit of having Glass Accountants as our accountants is the tax support and planning they provide. They keep track of our property improvements and keep us up to date on potential capital gains liabilities we may incur.
​
They advised we use the cloud package Quickbooks, this allowed us to have real-time-information at very little cost. They advised that using cloud software would allow them to estimate our total income for the tax year three months prior to it ending. We use this estimate to avoid paying tax at the higher 40% tax rate by performing more property repairs before the tax year end.
​
Their approach is modern and unique taking advantage of new software's and means of communication. They have been a fantastic support to us and I would certainly recommend Glass Accountants to any property investment business."
Attraction Builders
Attraction Builders is a small, family based construction business offering commercial and private building work.
​
"Glass Accountants have supported our Admin staff with training related to a new accounts system (Xero), including CIS setup and payments, VAT and day to day accounting. They have supported with end of year tax returns and are always willing to help at short notice.
Glass Accountants have helped make Attraction Builders MTD compliant, as required by HMRC. They are an outgoing practice giving us up to date relevant advice on tax and accounting matters.
​
Glass Accountants benefit us by passing on their extensive knowledge around the complicated processes of the tax world, they often check up on us to ensure that accounts and transactions are up to date, and talk us through any rectifications that might be required.
The staff are warm and friendly, and they are quick to return calls and dispel any problems and worries. I would recommend them to anyone who needs accounting advice."
Up There UK
Up There UK is a start-up formed in January 2021, creating quality yet affordable toddler learning aids.
​
"Things took off rather quickly for Up There UK and we sought Glass Accountants' help who were super-efficient in assessing our January - March books and recommending the most tax efficient business structure for us.
​
They gave us turnover markers to check regularly as we continue to grow. This allows us to monitor our future steps like registering for VAT or registering as a Limited Company.
We love how quickly and accurately Glass Accountants work, they make the process simple for us to understand. They are a real asset and we would not hesitate in recommending them to your business."
The Beauty Studio
The Beauty studio is an independent beauty Studio based in Yorkshire.
​
"Since starting in Feb 2020 it's been a difficult time for a start up business with managing both COVID-19 and maternity leave!
​
Glass Accountants could not have been more helpful and has made my tax return really simple for me to understand. I provide Glass Accountants with my receipts and a spreadsheet and they do everything else for me so I don't have to lift a finger.
​
One thing I really love is the ease of contact with Glass Accountants, with two very young children at home I struggle to take phone calls in the day time but Glass Accountants communicate with me in hours where I am more available. This side of the service is priceless and takes the stress out of 'doing my books'."
JLA Joinery
JLA Joinery offers private joinery and construction building work.
​
'I own JLA Joinery and moved to Glass Accountants last year. I have always done old-school-books, in the sense of hard copy receipts/invoices and due to time restraints I am unable to get everything on a Spreadsheet before passing this to my accountant. This didn't faze Glass Accountants and they prepared everything for me quickly - something which I had not experienced with my previous accountant.
​
Glass Accountants introduced me to Xero which I am going to use going forward. I was hesitant about the change however Glass Accountants explained the benefits of the management information they can provide me. They have advised that they will be there to support me during this transition.
​
Glass Accountants also advised me on the pros and cons of becoming voluntarily VAT registered. They discussed what I needed to consider with regards MTD and what benefits I may receive in backdating my input VAT.
​
My previous accountant only communicated via email. Being a tradesman, it's hard to get on my emails in day time hours and when moving to Glass Accountants I required an accountant available for phone calls and not just emails. I am pleased to say every phone call has either been answered or returned within a timely manner. I look forward to working Glass Accountants for many more years and really rate them as my accountant.'
Toms' Antiques
Tom's Antiques functioned as antique dealers and antique restorers mainly concentrating on coins, jewellery, collectibles, and furniture.
"This was our first company venture and Glass Accountants advised us on how to set up the business very efficiently and dealt with HMRC and Companies House on our behalf.
​
Something which was important to our business was keeping track of how much items sold for and the profit/loss we made on each job. Glass Accountants. were very helpful with this by setting up spreadsheets for us to use which made keeping on top of the accounts easier for us and them.
​
Glass Accountants were always very attentive, approachable, and easy to get in touch with. Their regular communication throughout was reassuring.
​
I always felt up to date and in sync with what was going on with the accounts which gave me a lot of confidence as a new business owner. The security of knowing that we were fully compliant in finance acted like a springboard for the business.
​
I would totally recommend Glass Accountants to any enterprise, the team were very professional and took the time to explain to us what was required and why. This made us feel more in control of the business and we always felt we could trust their judgement."
