Don't Just Take Our Word for It
Our company’s year end accounts and my self assessment completed in timely manners. Elixir accountancy is super efficient and friendly. Thanks to Idrees and his team.
Elixir has continued to support myself and my business through thick and thin. Not a money-grabbing company, they help you regardless of your situation and time restraints. I've never questioned their accounting skills, always accurate, prompt, polite, flexible and great communication.
Idrees completed my last 4 years of tax return. He completed everything on time and with exceptionally high level of professionalism. Idrees was always available to answer all my questions. He is very knowledgeable and explains the tax system really well. I have used many other accountants for my tax return before meeting Idrees. I am never using anyone else in future. I can wholeheartedly recommend Idrees to everyone.
Thank you Elixir Chartered Accountants for their professional support with my business accounts as well as the accounts for my second business and my personal tax return. I have been impressed by the expert knowledge and the readiness to clarify any questions I had, and by the speed with which all the accounts and returns were prepared.
As a company, we have been soliciting the help of this accountancy firm in particular Idrees for nearly 5 years, we always find them to be professional , friendly and highly qualified, would highly reccommend
We run multiple medical clinics and we were overwhelmed by information across multiple branches and had no clear view of staff utilisation. Elixir integrated our data and built a Power BI dashboard platform that delivered real-time financial data, interactive dashboards, and automated anomaly alerts, all from a single source of truth. Management can instantly see branch profitability, cash flow, and key KPIs. We’ve gone from week-late reporting to real-time insight at our fingertips.
Frequently Answered Queries
1. How is Elixir different from a “normal” accountant?
Most small firms keep you compliant. We keep you compliant, strategic, and ahead. With Chartered Accountants, Chartered Tax Advisers, CFOs, and data scientists on one team, we don’t just file forms; we help you make sharper decisions, save tax, and scale with confidence.
2. Why should I choose Elixir over a local practice?
Because you don’t just need bookkeeping, you need a partner in growth. Most traditional firms can get stuck in reactive mode, while we’re digital-first, proactive, and built for modern entrepreneurs. We bring the tech, strategy, and expertise they usually can’t.
3. What do I get from Elixir that I won’t get elsewhere?
Think of us as your Finance and Tax Partner. Most small firms are compliance accountants, doing bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, accounts, and often turn down your ideas. We offer compliance, advisory, dashboard insight, and complex tax planning all under one roof. Instead of juggling multiple providers, you get a single team that seamlessly covers compliance and strategy at an affordable price.
4. Is Elixir only for big businesses?
Not at all. Individuals, startups, scale-ups, and global investors trust us. Whether you need a tax return or a CFO on speed dial, our services flex with your needs. Over 600 clients stay with us throughout their entire personal and business lifecycle, from setup to exit (income tax to inheritance tax).
5. How do you make tax planning different?
We don’t wait until the deadline to react; we plan. From startup to when you need hand-holding, growth when your processes and systems no longer work, tax planning with an end goal in mind, our Chartered Tax Advisers proactively design strategies that save money legally and align with your life or business goals.
6. Isn’t a digital accountant less personal?
Not with us. Every client gets a 1:1 onboarding call, a dedicated expert, and regular strategy check-ins. Additionally, you have 24/7 access to your records through our secure portal. That’s more personal and more responsive than the “once-a-year meeting” many smaller firms offer.
7. How does Elixir support Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
We have partnered with Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent. We set you up with HMRC-compliant digital tools, automate reminders, integrate record-keeping with software, and keep you future-ready ahead of the April 2026 MTD rollout.
8. How much does it cost?
Our prices are transparent, with fixed fees, and plans start at £20/month, providing total fee clarity. No surprise invoices, no creeping hourly charges. And because we combine compliance with strategy, most clients find the savings, efficiencies, and peace of mind more than pay for themselves.
9. Can Elixir help me save money on taxes?
Yes. We have detailed questionnaires and checklists which we complete for each assignment. This helps our client comply with authorities and provides opportunities to save on taxes. Clients uncover up to 28% more savings on average through proactive planning, reliefs, and scenario-based tax optimisation.
10. Is Elixir only for UK-based clients?
Primarily UK-focused, we also support international clients with their UK tax affairs, including cross-border compliance for VAT, income tax, corporation tax, tax residency, and OECD and tax treaty double-tax relief.
