Banstead accountants: monthly bookkeeping, payroll and tax for local businesses
Love Your Accountants is a forward-thinking, tech-savvy accountancy firm based just down the road in Epsom.
Founded with a passion for making finance straightforward, approachable and stress-free, we provide proactive accounting, tax and financial support to businesses in Banstead. From ambitious start-ups and growing SMEs to family-run businesses and established local enterprises, our support is tailored to suit businesses at every stage of their journey.
We're based just a few minutes away in Epsom, and most of our work is done over video call and email rather than relying on the train link, which usually means a change at Sutton. We're always happy to meet in person when it helps, whether that's at our office or somewhere in Banstead.
Banstead has a distinctive character of its own, from the independent shops, restaurants and coffee bars along the High Street to landmarks like All Saints' Church and Banstead Downs. It's home to a strong mix of professional services and local businesses, and with many residents commuting out for work, flexible, video-first support fits well with how people here actually work.
For Banstead owner-managed businesses we run monthly bookkeeping and payroll in Xero, with bank feeds and receipt capture, and look after VAT, year-end accounts and corporation tax alongside. We also support businesses in Tadworth, Kingswood and Cheam. Our office at 2A The Quadrant, Epsom is just a few minutes away, and we meet clients in person, by phone or on video.
We believe great financial support should go far beyond preparing figures and meeting deadlines. By getting to know your business, understanding its challenges and identifying opportunities, we can provide practical, proactive advice that helps you plan ahead and make informed decisions with confidence. We're here to make managing the financial side of your business easier – leaving you with more time to focus on running and growing your business.

During a tumultuous year when Covid and pandemic response packages from the government made following your finances even more difficult than usual, Andy and his team have kept us informed and up to date at all times, making 2020 less chaotic than it would have been without their assistance. Cannot recommend them highly enough, this is a great team to have in your corner.

John and team have been brilliant as we've grown the company, and most important to us, fun to work with and interested in what we do. Our company motto is 'We only work with nice people' and John couldn't be nicer.
Daisy Terry
Our company has more than doubled in the last 2 years and it quickly became clear that the existing accountancy set up we had wasn't going to work as we continue to grow. We were really nervous about changing accountants as it is such an integral part of our business but Rob and the whole team at LYA have been with us every step of the way, helping not only to get things straight but advise us with how we can improve and grow. Nothing is too much for these guys which is exactly what we need! We are delighted with how it is going
Patrick Land
Changing accountants can be a daunting prospect for a small business owner, especially after a bad experience with current/previous accountants.
The team at LYA made the change as painless and efficient as possible and have spent considerable time with me either via email, Whats App or MS Teams talking me through the process and educating me in the use of Xero.
I can't speak highly enough of the service I have received so far and wish I had made the change much sooner.
Steve Philcox
My wife need some assistance and Rob Young at LYA could not have been more helpful. He listened, understood and came back to us extremely quickly with the answers that was then followed up in writing. The service was extremely efficient, professional and seamless. I cannot recommend this organisation enough.
Kim Farmer
I started working with LYA when I first started my business. Launching a business can be a daunting and uncertain time, but having LYA's support and expertise has been invaluable during this process. Now we are over 3 years into the business and LYA continue to play a strong role enabling us to understand and follow the growth of the company and to help us navigate any financial decisions along the way. Josh Clarke and Rob Young have been wonderful to work with and although we rarely meet in person, we definitely consider them as part of the team.

Justin Girdler
LYA have been my accountancy firm for the best part of a decade - I think that probably speaks for itself. Rob and Josh are a wonderful duo who complement each-others approach so well and we feel truly looked after, listened too and challenged. They go far beyond previous firms I have worked with and have the expertise to offer a wide range of support across the financial elements of our business and how they intersect with our mission. Perhaps most importantly, we look forward to our calls with Rob and Josh.
