Useful Niche Directory AccountantsinLeicester.com

Feb. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- This niche directory claims to maintain the most accurate and comprehensive list of accountants in and around Leicester. The owner, Tom Kern of All-Time-Best says: "What makes our niche directory unique is that we talk to every business in person, this gives our niche directory an accuracy and completeness like no other. Also, the physical address of every accountant in Leicester is clickable and viewable in an interactive Google map. Even more important may be that all regular entries are free, which makes our directories a uniquely independent source of information."

Indeed, the well-known national directories like Yell and Co. charge for most entries. This results in a form of bias that seems non-existent in AccountantsinLeicester.com.

The listed accountants are experienced in a wide variety of services and can help with personal and business tax returns, payroll accounts and general bookkeeping. Accountants in Leicester can also provide aid with contractor accounts and tax registrations, as well as inheritance taxes, capital gains and for individuals launching a new business.
