John Leyden - Chartered Accountants

Carbon Accountancy is an experienced, reliable, commercially focused firm of Chartered Accountants based in the City, London EC1.

Like many other accountancy firms, we offer a full accountancy service including book keeping, audits, company accounts and tax services including VAT advice. Unlike most however, we guarantee fixed fees and a friendly, straight-talking, no-nonsense approach.

We also provide specialist data room, corporate finance, corporate strategy and venture capital services.

We're friendly, good value and (so we're told) nice to work with as well as being challenging where necessary and we work with small businesses as well as major international corporations.

So whether you're an individual or company looking for a general accountant or tax advice, a solicitor or company looking for audit services to meet statutory requirements, a venture capitalist requiring due diligence and/or data room services or an ambitious SME needing corporate finance advice, you've come to the right place and we'd like to meet you. Please feel free to contact us for a no obligation meeting.

John's Testimonials

  • It has been some years since I have provided written testimony to the quality of the service provided by John Leyden and his staff at Carbon Accountancy.

    We rarely fail to provide John with a client who is not a challenge - either in terms of the complexity of their arrangements, their personality, or the time that they demand for the price they pay. In each and every occasion Carbon have performed their duties and agreed undertakings with our clients to the highest possible standard whilst providing excellent value.

    This reflects very positively on us (having made the referral to our clients) and means we become ever more confident in referring Carbon Accountancy.

  • A quick note to say a very big thank you for helping set up Monkey Party Ltd so quickly. Painless, easy and remarkably fast, I couldn't ask for a better service!

    Tom Simnett - Web Developer
  • "The Kensington Magazine has been running for nearly five years. A couple of years ago we identified a need to have an accountancy firm who understood the way smaller businesses run, which is entirely different from larger businesses. We also knew that in about twelve months time we would need advice on how to set up the business as a Limited Company.

    Of course there are many accountancy firms to chose from, but we were impressed by John Leydon of Carbon Accountancy. No spin, no jargon, just reassurance about the process, and, importantly for a small business, reasonable and realistic fees.

    As if this wasn’t enough, John and his team are always at the end of the phone and available to answer niggly questions sent to try us by HMRC. This is not charged for separately as is usual by other accountancy firms.

    John took us through two completed Annual Returns and then steered us through our Limited Company process, advising and dealing with Companies House and all the relevant paperwork.

    To anyone looking for an accountant who is not only professional but extremely generous with his time and advice I would highly recommend Carbon Accountancy."
