Chartered accountants for Oldham businesses and individuals
Everyday Accountants looks after sole traders, landlords, contractors and owner-managed limited companies across the Oldham borough. That includes Oldham town centre, Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Lees, Failsworth, Hollinwood and the Saddleworth villages.
The practice is run by Adrian Hargreaves, a Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) and Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) who worked at PwC before setting up the practice in 2022. That means you get Big Four experience and specialist tax knowledge at a fixed monthly fee that suits a small business. And you deal with the same person every time, not a call centre.
PAPERWORK
We are paperless and store your sensitive information digitally that’s private and GDPR compliant. You also sign and approve everything digitally.
EFFICIENT MEETINGS
We can meet in-person, by telephone or video call. We focus on efficiency and value of accessibility instead of expensive city centre offices to impress.
EVERYDAY
Say goodbye to 9-5 Monday to Friday access to your accountant, your business doesn’t stop at 5pm and neither does ours. Clients also have our Mobile for urgent access and SMS and Whatsapp for informal communications.
SPEED
The best time to have completed the work was yesterday. The second best time is today. We can support real-time information so reporting is readily reportable. Waiting weeks can be too long in our fast paced world.
EFFICIENT RESOURCING
We are immersed in technology focusing on automation, integrations & AI to improve cloud based systems and through processes such as invoice scanning and bank feeds ensuring our competitiveness, speed and reliability; whilst keeping all services in-house.
FIXED MONTHLY FEES
Our services are provided on a recommended subscription basis via direct debit which spreads the cost of our services evenly across the financial year.
Personal Tax
Self-employed? Property income? Capital gains? Tax reliefs? Whatever your reason for having to file, we are personal tax accountants and are here to help. Personal tax returns are made much easier with our tax help.
Accounts & Corporation Tax
We prepare limited company accounts and corporation tax returns. Why not let us focus on reducing your tax and present high quality accounts using best practices so you can focus on what you love. We also support you with bookkeeping services, payroll services and business advice. Accountants near me?Speak to us and we will support your business forward.

RTI submissions for weekly, 4-weekly, monthly or annual payrolls; including auto-enrolment pension management, additions, deductions and statutory benefits. Payroll providers near me? Everyday Accountants will be with you at each step.
Business Performance
We want you to succeed just as much as you want to. We handle your affairs privately and using best practices. Why not let us be your business and tax accountants to support your business run efficiently? Whether it relates to cash flow, business structure or future plans, pass the idea by us first and we will provide a professional point of view.
What Oldham clients usually come to us for
- Self-employed and Making Tax Digital. From April 2026, many sole traders and landlords must keep digital records and send HMRC quarterly updates. We set you up on the right software, file the updates and keep your penalty points at zero. See our MTD for Income Tax guide.
- Limited company accounts and corporation tax. Year-end accounts, CT600s, director’s self-assessment and the salary-and-dividend plan that sits behind them.
- Landlords. Rental accounts, mortgage interest relief, capital gains when you sell, and advice on whether a company structure makes sense for your portfolio.
- Manufacturing, trades, retail and hospitality. Many Oldham businesses are owner-run with staff on the payroll. We run weekly or monthly payroll, auto-enrolment and VAT so you can stay on the tools or behind the counter.
- Starting up or switching. We register new companies and sort out VAT and PAYE from day one. If you’re switching accountants, we deal with your old accountant for the handover.
Case study: a Saddleworth manufacturer moving from Sage 50 to Xero
A manufacturing business based in Saddleworth came to us in 2025. Its records were held in Sage 50, and day-to-day bookkeeping was taking far too long. We moved the records across to Xero, set up bank feeds and automated the routine steps. We also tidied up the processes around them. The result: about an hour a day saved on bookkeeping, which is time the owners now spend running the business.
How we work with you
Our office is in Middleton, about 15 minutes from Oldham, and some of our team live in Oldham. So we’re local, and it’s easy to meet in person when you want to. We’re also a modern, paperless practice: many clients prefer video or phone meetings, and everything is signed digitally. You get a fixed monthly fee agreed upfront, so there are no surprise bills. You can reach us by phone, email and WhatsApp, including outside 9 to 5.

Where are you based? Can we meet in person?
Our office is in Middleton, about 15 minutes’ drive from Oldham town centre, and some of our team live locally. You’re welcome to meet us in person, or work with us entirely online if that suits you better.
How much does an accountant in Oldham cost?
We quote a fixed monthly fee based on what you need. A simple self-assessment costs far less than a VAT-registered limited company with payroll. Ask for a free quote and we’ll confirm it in writing before we start.
Can you help me switch from my current accountant?
Yes. We send the professional clearance letter, collect your records and make sure no deadlines are missed during the move.
Do I have to follow Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?
From 6 April 2026 it applies to sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000, and the threshold falls to £30,000 from April 2027. We’ll tell you if and when it applies to you and set you up in good time.
