We've had a great experience working with Northern Tonic Limited. They provide excellent service and real added value. The transition when they took over our accounts was smooth, quick, and completely worry-free. They consistently handle all our questions and concerns with professionalism and promptness. What we really appreciate is that they don’t just take care of the numbers—they also help us think ahead and plan strategically for the future of our business. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable, proactive, and knowledgeable accounting support.

As a small family-run business, we've found Northern Tonic to be far more than just an accounting service - they've truly become part of our business and family. Their team consistently delivers accurate, timely financial services with a personal touch that seem to be increasingly rare in the industry. What stands out most is their proactive approach - they don't just process numbers, they provide valuable insights that have directly improved our financial decision-making and helped our family business thrive.
Communication is always clear and responsive, whether by email or phone. Their expertise with tax regulations has saved us considerable money while ensuring full compliance.
I particularly appreciate how they take the time to explain complex financial matters in understandable terms without being condescending. Their pricing structure is transparent and fair for the high-quality service they deliver.
I would strongly recommend Northern Tonic to any business owner, especially family-run operations like ours, looking for an accounting firm that truly integrates into your business family. They don't just help with numbers - they care about the people behind those numbers and have become trusted advisors we count on for our family business's future.
A huge thank you to Rob, Sam, Vicky, Kim, Jo and Stewart!

The team at Northern Tonic provides a level of service that feels like a rare find nowadays—personal, attentive, and seemingly available around the clock. We've been fortunate to have Sam handling our VAT returns and providing invaluable guidance on the day-to-day aspects of running a business, and the experience has been nothing short of perfection.

As our business has grown—something that wouldn’t have been possible without Sam’s support—we’ve now entrusted Sam, Rob, and the entire Northern Tonic team with managing all our financial admin, as well as the process of incorporating our business.

Beyond their expertise, I’d also like to highlight a meeting I had with both Sam and Rob, where we mapped out the future of the business. Their genuine enthusiasm for helping us achieve our goals and maximise our potential was evident, and their insights were invaluable.

If you’re looking for an accurate, personal, and reasonably priced service to take the stress out of financial admin, I couldn’t recommend Northern Tonic more highly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been with Northern Tonic for over four years now, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From the very beginning, they have been incredibly supportive. When I first had my business idea, they kindly arranged a meeting to give me valuable advice from an accountancy perspective. That guidance gave me the confidence to move forward, and once I set up my gardening business, they continued to support me every step of the way.

Joanne was a great help in the early days, taking the time to explain various accounting processes to me in a way I could understand. Professional and personable. Since then, I’ve been working with Mark, who helped to bring my sole trader business in to the new limited company. His help has been invaluable to me.

My company uses Northern tonic for its payroll support too. Stewart has been a great help in this area helping me to understand the intricacies of employment law regarding payroll/holidays etc.

I now get most if not all of my support from Sam Cotton the business accounts manager. His support has been second to none. He always responds promptly to my (often lengthy!) emails, and nothing is ever too much trouble for him. He is patient & very knowledgeable.

As a whole, Northern Tonic is an outstanding accountancy firm. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow your business, their expertise and customer service are truly exceptional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I always find Northern Tonic to be responsive & supportive in all they do, they aim to help their clients to remain compliant whilst helping them to understand how their business is developing. They ensure clients are kept up to date with any changes in legislation and they provide practical & realistic advice to help clients get the best out of an ever changing system.

My contacts Rob, Kim & Syed are professional, understanding, enthusiastic and very approachable.

Thank you for your continued support.
