Your local Chartered Accountant & Business Advisor.
Accounting and advisory support to help SMEs and startups grow, profit, and scale.
Who are we?
At ASK, we’re a small, close-knit team of chartered accountants and business advisors who work directly with business owners and leadership teams. We believe in keeping things simple, efficient, and transparent — delivering traditional accountancy services quickly and accurately, while also giving you the insight and advice to grow your business with confidence.
Our team combines hands-on business experience with significant expertise gained at some of the most recognised global accounting and consulting firms. We’ve worked with clients across the UK, UAE, and globally, supporting businesses in over 20+ industries.
We’re not just here to meet compliance requirements. We partner with you to help you understand your numbers, identify opportunities, and make better decisions.
Our Services
-
Accounting & Compliance
We keep your finances organised, accurate, and compliant — freeing you to focus on running your business. From bookkeeping, VAT returns, and payroll to year-end accounts, corporation tax, and Companies House filings, we take care of it all. Our approach is quick, efficient, and transparent, giving you clear visibility over your numbers and assurance that everything is filed accurately and on time.
-
Business Growth & Advisory
For businesses that want more than basic accounting. We turn your numbers into insight, delivering clear monthly or quarterly reports with plain-English commentary. You’ll know exactly what’s working, what needs attention, and how to move forward. Our Virtual CFO service adds strategic financial leadership — guiding budgets, improving margins, and planning for growth — without the cost of a full-time hire.
-
International Services
We help UK businesses set up and grow in the UAE — handling trade licences, registration, and securing both business and personal visas. Whether you're launching a new venture or expanding an existing one, we ensure a smooth, compliant setup across mainland and free zone structures. Our support covers investor, employee, and family sponsorships, as well as banking, payment systems, and local compliance — so you can focus on growth from day one.
Fast, accurate accounts — filed on time, every time! Book your free consultation today.

Straightforward advice with no jargon. We used their business planning service which has been invaluable for our growth - its like having our very own FD working with us for a fraction of the costs it would be to hire permanently.

Stephen - AI Consulting
Have been working with Khalil and team for a while now. They spotted tax reliefs I didn’t even know we could claim for. We ended up saving thousands! One of the best business decisions we’ve made.
