Professional team that you can rely on. Very competitive pricing and strong skill sets across all the main disciplines. Always on time and responsive. Can't fault them in anything. Have been with for 2 years and compared to the last accountants these guys are another level!

I appreciate your reply to my earlier review. I am a benefactor from an estate for which you have simply not produced the information necessary, missing deadlines despite pleas and with no redress when we suggested you make good on these costs. Though my relatives trusted one of your previous employees implicitly (a judgement I shared with them), only last week we were contacted to say "we've found some missing paperwork from 2017. Would you like us to forward it on?" 'Incompetence' springs to mind.

Previously trusted, but their lack of any action at all on accounts has literally cost us thousands in late fees and issues with HRMC on a dormant company, despite many pleas.
