Honestly wasn't sure what to expect going into my first onboarding call, but Alkis Michael from Helpbox UK put me right at ease. He didn't waffle or overcomplicate things — just told me what I needed... See more

Written by the company
Helpbox UK is built for small business owners who want their accounting handled properly, clearly and without the stress. We support sole traders, limited companies, freelancers, landlords, contractors, creatives, consultants and growing businesses across the UK. Whether you need annual accounts, corporation tax, self-assessment, VAT returns, bookkeeping, payroll, CIS or day-to-day accounting support, our aim is simple: to keep your finances organised, your deadlines under control and your business moving forward. What makes Helpbox different is the way we combine professional accounting support with real accessibility. You are not left waiting weeks for answers or trying to work everything out alone. Our clients get unlimited support by phone, video call and email, so when a question comes up, you have a team you can actually contact. We also work through dedicated specialist teams. VAT queries go to people who deal with VAT every day. Payroll questions go to payroll specialists. Accounts and tax work is reviewed carefully, with checks designed to spot missed opportunities, avoid unnecessary risk and make sure your records are clear before anything is finalised. Good accounting should not feel confusing, distant or intimidating. It should give you clarity, confidence and peace of mind. That is what we are here to do. If you want an accountant who explains things clearly, responds properly and supports your business throughout the year, contact Helpbox UK and book a discovery call.

The whole process so far with helpbox has been really good, I've had a number of conversations with Molly who has highlighted the key areas of the service that they offer.
And they have been patient and understanding, particularly considering my neurodivergence and I'm looking forward to working with them

The discovery call from Ash and the onboarding call with Lilia were super-smooth. Highly impressed with both of their service so far. A good 24 hours quicker than the other 2 competitors I reached out too. Both very insightful and thoughtful too.
Overall poor experience with extremely sloppy communication and requiring frequent chasing for basic things. Not at all the professional and experienced picture I was "sold" by Michelle.
So far my experience with Helpbox has been pretty poor. Every encounter I've had with them so far has involved lots of confusion, miscommunication, and requiring lots of follow up on my end as work done has been sloppy and inaccurate, or simply not be done at all. This is my first year as a Helpbox customer and I am increasingly losing trust in them, more so after every interaction I have. Let's just say NOTHING has been straightforward or easy. I was very impressed after my initial call with Michelle who gave a great sales pitch for using them as my accountants. However, unfortunately so far my experience has been night and day from the picture she painted. I would recommend avoiding, as so far Helpbox has been nothing but a headache to deal with.

The turnaround time for a query to be responded to is really good.
I am really impressed with the service I always receive.
Start up support
The team at Helpbox took the time to find out what my business was about and what I wanted to achieve. From there they recommended ways they could support me through the process.
