Direct Assist Accountants is an ACCA regulated practice based in Slough, supporting sole traders, landlords, contractors, and limited companies across Slough and the wider Berkshire area. We have worked from Woodland Avenue since 2014, combining genuine local knowledge with the compliance standards of a much larger firm, without the slow response times of a national accounting firm.
If your business is based on Slough Trading Estate or nearby, our full range of accounting services covers everything from day to day bookkeeping through to corporation tax and payroll.
Slough is one of the busiest commercial hubs in the Thames Valley, home to logistics and manufacturing firms on Slough Trading Estate, independent shops along the High Street, buy-to-let landlords near the station, and contractors working the M4 corridor into Heathrow. A local accountant understands this landscape in a way a national call centre firm cannot.
Direct Assist Accountants was built around that local understanding, combined with the technical qualifications and compliance standards expected of a much larger firm.
Every engagement meets the professional and ethical standards ACCA requires, not just a generic "qualified" claim.
We complete Companies House identity verification and company formation directly, in house, with no outsourcing and no delays.
Built from real client reviews. See what clients say further down this page.
Clear pricing agreed upfront, with no hidden charges and no billing by the email.
Your accounts and returns are filed on time, every time, tracked against a fixed internal deadline calendar.
