About ALP
At ALP we specialise in accountancy services for small businesses and sole traders, at affordable prices.
With over 15 years experience, we cover a wide range of businesses from plumbers to child minders, models to web designers. Based in Lee on the Solent on the South Coast, our client range covers Hampshire and the surrounding counties.
That's why we understand every customer's needs are different, priding ourselves on the personal touch and expertise we provide to each and every client. We know you are busy people with a lot of balls to juggle, so our aim is to take the hassle out of accounting, giving you more time to focus on the things you do best.
We want to work with you to ensure you have a set of accounts you are happy with, that you understand them and have the confidence to explain them yourself. Being a small company, our clients really value our professional but friendly, straight talking and honest approach to doing business and the time we spend giving you the peace of mind you need.
You can be sure we'll go above and beyond to exceed your expectations and that we'll always be there when you need us.

Testimonials
What our customers have to say about us
“I am very happy with the service I receive from ALP. They are reliable, professional and cost effective. I would recommend them to anybody. I have never fully understood my accounts using pervious firms, but since moving over to ALP they have made my accounting simple and jargon free. Highly recommended for any trades person or professional.”
GI Installations, Gosport
“ have known the owner of ALP Accountancy for a few years and she was my accountant for the last tax year. I found her to be very professional, organised and efficient. The communication skills, both written and verbal, are excellent. I have since gone on to recommend ALP to friends. I will definitely be using her again.”
K Humes, Client
“Professional and always on hand to answer my questions. I feel comfortable that my accounts are done accurately and on time.”
Hairdresser, Horndean
“ used to dread doing my accounts every year and couldn't find an affordable accountant. A friend referred ALP to me and I was glad they did! I am very happy with the service I get and the fees are not crippling. I can now get on with my day job and leave the tax return worry to somebody else.”
Plumber, Titchfield
“Reliable, prompt and precise. I understand my accounts for the first time and can see exactly what my yearly profit is.”
