I had a great experience with Modus Accountants for my 2024/25 self-assessment. Lauren, Jenna and team were professional, responsive, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Everything was handled quickly, with clear guidance and easy access to documents via the client portal. Highly recommend!

The team at Modus couldn’t be more helpful. Every year I get a reminder that my self assessment is due and a tick list informing me exactly what information I need to return.
Samantha Newport made it simple, hassle free and an enjoyable experience.
I also managed to complete it by May which is much better than rushing to hit the January deadline.

I cannot recommend Jenna and Brooke at Modus Accountancy Firm enough! Over the past five years, they have been incredible supporters of my business, Sanctum Hair. Their expertise, professionalism, and friendly approach have made all the difference. Thank you, Jenna and Brooke, for your outstanding support! 😀

For the past two years, Jenna at Modus Accountants has expertly handled our property company accounts. As an HKG-based client unfamiliar with UK accounting practices, I've asked countless questions. Jenna and the team have consistently responded with patience and clarity, ensuring I understand every detail. Their expertise and responsiveness have been invaluable. I highly recommend Modus Accountants; they've truly helped me feel confident in my financial decisions.

Modus have been our accountants for several years now and always done an amazing job and very helpful at the right times when running your own business. Recently they have helped us out by stepping in on a temporary basis while we look to re-hire on our accounts side. Thanks to Layla and Sam from all of us at WM Air Conditioning.

I have had the pleasure of working with Nick and Margaret at Modus Accountants (Formerly Aries and then Modus Pease) for the past 18 years within my role as a bookkeeper for a small building company. Their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support have been invaluable to me. No matter the query, they are always thorough, reliable, and incredibly approachable. Both Nick and Margaret understand the needs of a small businesses like ours, and I highly recommend them. Thank you, Modus for your outstanding unwavering service!

Working with Lauren and the whole team at Modus has been great! They do everything around my accounting and tax preparation so timely and efficiently. Lauren has been particularly good and making the tax preparation process as simple and straightforward as possible, and because my tax is prepared well in advance of being due I can implement any changes needed early in the new tax year for maximum benefit.
Thank you, Lauren and thank you Modus!

We hold multiple accounts with Modus accountants, Business & Personnel, we find that their knowledge base and communications between all their departments is exceptional and always on point. Any financial issues that need resolving these are completed in a very professional manner and within expected time frames. I would absolutely recommend Modus accountants to any Personnel, Business or Corporation for all aspects of Accounting & Tax liabilities, we are very satisfied with their appointment.

Decided to switch accountant for my IT Limited company to a local company in Oxford area and found Aries Accountants, who are now Modus. They have now been my accountants for both business and self assessment services for over ten years and I have never encountered any issues during this time. All returns have been submitted to HMRC on time and with no issues. I wish to thank Nick and his team for all their help and support since I first stepped into the doors at Aries to now where they have now grown into Modus.

I needed help with my self assessment tax return, so went to Modus. I could not have asked for more; the help and support was professional, quick and most importantly, very helpful. Modus managed to find helpful solutions for my tax needs which a Big Four accountant had failed to do in previous years. A big thank you to all the team and I would thoroughly recommend anyone looking for tax or business planning support.

Nick and Margaret could not have been more helpful when my husband was unable to continue his business due to ill health. Their unfailing patience and ability to advise in words of one syllable was particularly valuable in helping me to navigate closing the company. They have also looked after our personal tax returns for many years. Again, the service they have provided has been second to none. They both come highly recommended.

Our company has been under the guidance of Rupert Pease, Margaret Heaton and Nick Clark for many years, where our business has relied on their professionalism, support and attention to detail, which has been amazing.

Both Adam and Jenna have helped me establish my business as a sole trader , assisted with growing the business into a limited company , and guided me through the struggles of understanding VAT and corporation tax,
The software supplied has been the major factor in giving me back time to allow me to grow the business and their help in setting everything up and understanding it has been vital.

Highly recommend this team as they have a very personal approach in finding what you need to best suit your plans.

Great team of people to deal with. Brooke and Samantha look after our end of year accounts and are very supportive when we contact them for advice. Brooke is so helpful running our payroll each month and somehow manages to make sense of our Vat returns on a quarterly basis. The business has flourished since we swapped over to Modus 2-3 years ago thanks to the help of the team as a whole. Thanks for your help and support guys.

Ian Morris

Having taken the step back in 2017 to set up my own business it has been one that I have been very lucky with.

Modus came into the picture within the last 12 months due to taking over from the previous accountants I was using as they had decided it was time for them to retire.

I was a little nervous at first however from the first conversation with Samantha and the team at Modus I was given a huge boost and relief as their professionalism and methods of business is phenomenal.

The advice and guidance already given to me by Modus has been amazing and one I truly appreciate and will continue to learn from so in my opinion I owe Modus a massive thank you for the work they do.

I would highly recommend Modus to any company as both the work and professional service they deliver is first class.

I am delighted with the support received from Modus Accountants Ltd. My company has just completed its first end of year accounts, which were managed by Sam Newport and her colleagues. I was very pleased with how they brought everything together with little input from me, allowing me to focus on the day to day needs of my business.

Cannot thank Modus enough for all their help and encouragement with my boutique business- My Pilates Flow ! I entered their annual 'Modus Ignite Entrepreneur Competition' in 2021. As a finalist they gave me a complimentary coaching/mentoring session which was incredible! I came away from the meeting buzzing with a whole list of leads to follow up on- ranging from refined branding, how to expand the business and a deep dive into target audience and marketing. I'm working my way through the list and continuing to get great results! This young, forward thinking Company know what they are talking about and I feel privileged to have been given their time. Highly recommend!

The team are just so helpful, really quick to respond and pay close attention to detail. They're able to guide you through even the most granular of queries. It was a breath of fresh air to have our annual tax explained in such simple terms. Couldn't recommend them more highly for personal tax work.
