Meet Alina and Adrian, the people behind AA&R Certified Accountants, and you will find a team that takes time to understand your business. When you choose an accountant, you are choosing more than someone to prepare accounts or submit a tax return. You are choosing people who answer your questions and help you make confident financial decisions.

At AA&R Certified Accountants, that personal approach sits at the heart of what we do. We are a husband-and-wife business, bringing our different strengths together to give clients practical, reliable and friendly support.

Meet Alina and Adrian at AA&R Certified Accountants

Alina Butnariu, our CEO, is ACCA qualified and brings extensive experience of supporting businesses across sectors including construction, transport and retail. Her work is focused on helping clients understand their numbers, meet their responsibilities and plan ahead with confidence.

Adrian Butnariu is a Partner at AA&R. Together, we believe good accountancy should feel clear and approachable. It should not leave you with confusing jargon or unanswered questions. It should make life easier.

That is why we take the time to understand each client’s circumstances, goals and challenges before recommending the support that is right for them.

Why working together matters for our clients

Running a small business can bring a lot of decisions: keeping records up to date, managing cash flow, planning for tax, paying staff and working out what comes next. Having a team that works closely together means clients benefit from joined-up support rather than a one-size-fits-all service.

For us, working together means:

  • A shared commitment to clear communication. We explain things in plain English and make sure you understand what is happening with your finances.
  • A responsive, personal service. We know that questions do not always arrive at convenient times, so we aim to be available, helpful and practical when you need support.
  • Different perspectives, one goal. We work together to look at the detail while keeping sight of the bigger picture: helping your business stay organised, compliant and ready for its next step.
  • Support tailored to your business. Every business is different. Whether you are self-employed, a landlord, running a limited company or growing a small business, we adapt our support around your needs.

More than accounts and tax returns

AA&R supports clients with tax planning, bookkeeping, payroll, self-assessment tax returns, management accounts and financial analysis, and business strategy consulting. But the aim is always the same: to give you greater clarity and less stress around your finances.

We want clients to feel comfortable asking questions, confident in the decisions they make, and supported by people who genuinely care about their progress.

Here when you need us

We are based in the Watford area and support clients across Hertfordshire, North London and remotely throughout the UK. If you are looking for an accountant who combines professional expertise with a personal approach, we would be pleased to talk.
