Accountants Who Understand Your Line of Work
ATS works with landlords, trades, owner-managed businesses, professionals and charities.







The difference
A Broad, Loyal Client Base
Over more than a decade we’ve built a broad and loyal client base across Greater Manchester and St Helens, from sole traders to organisations turning over into the hundreds of millions. What ties it together is simple: whatever your line of work, we take the time to understand its specific demands, so the advice you get actually fits your business.
The sectors we work with
Property and Landlords
We act for property investment companies and landlords across the region, and we know how much the tax landscape has shifted. From the Section 24 restriction on mortgage interest relief to Capital Gains Tax on disposals, Making Tax Digital for landlords, and the question of holding property personally or through a company, we help you structure your portfolio efficiently and stay ahead of the rules.
Hospitality and Trades
Cafes, bakeries and restaurants, and trades people like plumbers, joiners and electricians, make up a big part of who we work with. These are busy, hands on businesses where cash flow is everything and paperwork is the last thing you want to think about. We handle the bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and CIS returns, so you can get on with the work.
Owner Managed Businesses and Sole Traders
Owner managed companies and sole traders are the heart of our client base. Whether it’s getting the salary and dividend mix right, staying on top of self assessment and Making Tax Digital, or planning for growth, we give you proactive advice that keeps more profit in your pocket and fewer surprises at year end.
Professional Services
We support medical professionals, from GPs and dentists to pharmacists and opticians, as well as IT contractors, consultants and management consultants. These are often higher earners with specific concerns: tax efficiency, the right business structure, and for contractors, questions around IR35. We make sure your setup works as hard as you do.
Charities, Schools and Faith Organisations
Charities are one of our specialisms. We work with registered charities and not for profits, independent schools, and faith based organisations such as churches and mosques, providing charity accounts, independent examinations and trustee support. It’s a sector with its own rules, and one we understand deeply.
