Information provided by various external sources

WELCOME TO PROACTIVE CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS LIMITED We are a firm of Chartered Accountants with a difference (hence the name!). Traditionally your Accountant behaves in a “reactive” way reporting on historic trading (sometimes many months later). This feedback is useless to a vibrant business looking for instant feedback on: Am I making any money? If I am why does it not show in my bank? Is my gross margin better or worse than my competitors? How can I keep my tax bills to a minimum? How can I take money out of the business in the most tax efficient way? We provide instant answers by using the most up to date “cloud based” accounts software so an owner can answer these questions instantly. Not only that but we agree fees in advance and provide 12 months interest free credit on these. We empathise with our Clients and understand the importance of returning phone calls and replying instantly to Client queries and worries-Something many Professional Firms forget!

Been working with proactive for over 3 years now and are managing two of my businesses. Zak has been my accountant and he’s been phenomenal. I was very new to the process and they’ve explained everything to me easily and taken a lot offf my plate as a business owner which is all you can ask for. All tax, accounting,bookkeeping and payroll made simple by them

I would highly recommend Proactive Accountants for self assessment tax returns. Rory was very fast and efficient in completing my tax return and my tax savings more than covered his fees! Excellent service and very friendly staff. Thanks Rory.

The best Accountants in Northern Ireland

I really cant recommend Proactive Accounting enough. The team would do anything to make the experience run as smoothly as possible. I moved to them a short time ago and the work they have done for me in that time is exceptional. I have already started recommending them to everyone I know in business. The best move I made.

A friendly professional bunch

A friendly professional bunch who provides support from day to day accounting through to complex tax advice. I have no regrets moving to Proactive over 3 years ago and am very happy to recommend the team. We've grown steadily over this period plus managed through the uncertainty of Covid all with the close support of Jon and the team.

First class Accounting

I have started a business for the first time and proactive accounting were recommended to me. This was a great choice. The one to one chats, up to date accounting and relaxed but professional manner in which they do business was ideal for me. I look forward to many more years of business with them and recommend to all start ups or SMEs out there to choose proactive.

Wish I had found them sooner!

The whole team at Proactive have been fantastic from we joined them. They have guided our company seamlessly and effortlessly through VAT registration & company formation.
Nothing is too much trouble in terms of questions and queries. Information and communication is quick, efficient and informative.
We deal with Zakie mainly and he is knowledgeable, quick to respond and makes you feel like nothing is too much trouble, with expert help. Excited for Proactive to help guide our company over the coming years.
Proactive is a perfect name for the company as they are always a step ahead with your company accounting needs.

I moved to Proactive last year

I moved to Proactive last year. I am so glad I did. They are just fantastic at what they do. They really do provide proactive advice (they ask the questions us non-accountants don't know to ask). They are lovely to deal with and offer great value for the fees charged. I would so highly recommend to others.

Zackie and John have saved me thousands on my tax bill this year. I've only been with them for 2 months but I already wish I had used them sooner. I have recommend their services to other small business owners and I can't recommend them enough!
