Hi, I’m Steffen Kemmerzehl, founder of Friendly Assist Accountancy and an AAT Licensed Accountant (MAAT).
My journey with numbers began in Germany, where I studied and researched at the University of Jena while also tutoring students in statistics and mathematics. I have always enjoyed working with numbers, but what matters most to me is helping people use them to solve real-life problems, especially when finances feel complicated or overwhelming.
After moving to Newcastle upon Tyne more than seven years ago, I gained experience working in local accountancy firms before completing my AAT qualifications and becoming licensed and regulated by AAT.
In 2024, I founded Friendly Assist Accountancy with a simple goal: to provide clear, friendly and practical accounting support for people who want straightforward advice without unnecessary jargon.

Who I Help
I work with a wide range of clients, including:
• Sole traders and freelancers
• Small businesses and limited companies
• Landlords and property owners
• Individuals who have fallen behind with HMRC
• UK residents with overseas income
• International and expat clients moving to or from the UK
Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or worried they may have missed something important. My role is to help bring clarity, explain what needs to be done, and support you through the process.
If you’re relocating to or from the UK, learn more about our International & Expat Accounting Services UK.
What Working Together Looks Like
I believe good accounting should be approachable and easy to understand.
You can expect:
• Clear advice in plain English
• Friendly and responsive communication
• Fixed and transparent pricing
• Practical solutions tailored to your situation
• Support with both UK and international tax matters
Whether you need ongoing accounting support, help with a Self Assessment Tax Return Help UK, bookkeeping assistance, or guidance with HMRC issues, my aim is always the same: to make things simpler and less stressful.
