How it works
MyLocalAccountants.uk is free for you. Three steps from a problem to an accountant you chose yourself, with no sales calls.
Search by service and place
Choose the service, such as a Self Assessment return or VAT, and type your town or postcode. You get the firms in the nearest town we cover, ranked by verified client review score. No one pays to rank higher; featured listings are paid and shown in their own labelled block above that list. When a town has more than three, they take turns in that block day by day, and on other days sit in the list where their reviews place them.
Check the profile
Each profile names the professional body whose register the firm is on (ICAEW, ACCA or CIMA), so you can confirm the membership on that body's own register. Fees appear once the firm adds them; reviews appear once verified clients leave them.
Contact one firm
Send one enquiry to the firm you chose where its profile offers that, or call them. An enquiry goes to that firm and to no other firm. We never sell your details.
What we promise
No paid placement in the ranked list
Order is verified review score. A featured listing buys a share of a slot that is labelled as featured, above that list; it never changes the organic order. A Featured firm not in today's slot sits in the list where its reviews place it.
Register-checked
Every listing is matched to the ICAEW, ACCA or CIMA register before it goes live, and its profile names the body so you can confirm the membership yourself.
Verified reviews only
We confirm with the firm that the reviewer was a client, without showing them the review first. Firms can reply but never edit or remove.
Your details stay yours
An enquiry goes to one firm, the one you chose. No lead selling, no follow-up calls from strangers.
Before you hire
Anyone in the UK can call themselves an accountant, so the title alone tells you little. Check the firm on its professional body’s register, ask about professional indemnity insurance and who supervises it for anti-money-laundering, and get the scope and fee in writing. Our guide how to choose an accountant walks through it.

Questions about how the directory works
How are accountants ranked?
By their verified client review score. Nobody can pay to move up that list. A featured listing is a paid slot shown in its own block, labelled Featured, above the list; it never changes the order inside it. When a town has more than three Featured firms, they take turns in that block, and on other days sit in the list where their reviews place them.
How do you know a review is from a real client?
Before a review is published we ask the firm to confirm that the reviewer was a client, without showing the firm what the review says. Firms can reply once, publicly, but they cannot edit or remove a review. Our review policy sets out what we remove and why.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
It goes to the one firm you chose and to no other firm. Once the firm has your enquiry, it replies to you directly by email or phone. We do not sell your details, add you to a mailing list or pass you to other firms.
Do I need an account to use the site?
No. You can search, read profiles and send an enquiry without signing up. You only need to sign in if you want to leave a review, so that we can verify it.
What does register-checked mean?
Before a listing goes live, we match the firm to the ICAEW, ACCA or CIMA register or, for a company listed from Companies House, to the Companies House register, and name that register on its profile. It shows the firm was on that register when we checked. For the current status, look the firm up on that register before you hire.
