Frequently Asked Questions

Direct Assist Accountants was founded in 2014 in Slough, Berkshire. What started as a small local practice has grown into a trusted firm supporting over 2,000 businesses across Slough, Berkshire, and the wider UK, filing more than 1,000 tax returns every year.

Yes. Our team is regulated by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), one of the UK’s top three accountancy bodies. We’re also a registered Companies House Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), meaning we’re officially approved to handle Director Identity Verification and PSC checks under the UK’s Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act.
You’ll have a dedicated accountant from our Slough-based team who gets to know your business personally — not a rotating call-centre queue. You can reach your accountant directly by phone, email, or Skype whenever you need support.
A local Slough accountant understands the businesses and challenges specific to our area — from local landlords and contractors to Slough’s growing small business community. You also get face-to-face meetings at our Unit 2, 20 Woodland Avenue office whenever you prefer it over a phone call, alongside the same fixed, transparent pricing you’d expect from a larger firm.
We’ve supported over 2,000 businesses across Slough, Langley, Windsor, Maidenhead, and the wider Berkshire and Thames Valley area — ranging from sole traders and freelancers to growing limited companies and landlords.
While we’re proud to be based in Slough and serve the local community, we support clients across the entire UK remotely, using secure cloud accounting tools like Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent — so distance is never a barrier to working with us.
