Why choose M A Accounting as your Oxford accountant
Oxford based | Nationwide reachChoosing the right accountant in Oxford is about more than filing a tax return. You need a local partner who understands Oxford businesses, HMRC rules and the pressure of running a company or rental portfolio. We combine technical expertise with practical, down to earth support.
Local knowledge with national standards
Based in East Oxford, we act for shops, contractors, professionals and landlords across the city and Oxfordshire. We understand local trading patterns, seasonality and sector specific challenges which improves both planning and cash flow advice.

Oxford accountants: frequently asked questions
Questions from local businesses and landlordsYou can technically appoint an accountant anywhere in the United Kingdom. Many clients prefer an Oxford based accountant because we understand local market conditions and can meet in person if needed. With secure cloud systems we still work efficiently with clients who prefer to communicate online.
For limited companies we usually ask for recent accounts and tax returns, access to your bookkeeping system, bank statements and details of directors and shareholders. For landlords we require property addresses, rental statements and details of mortgages and other costs. We provide a simple checklist so you know exactly what to send.
Fees depend on the size and complexity of your business or property portfolio. Most Oxford limited companies and landlords choose a fixed monthly package which spreads the cost across the year. During your free consultation we provide a quote that matches your needs and there is no obligation to proceed.
