We used Aston Shaw for the past 6 years. Mark noakes one of the directors, agreed a price to do our accounts. When we sold out they hit us with a invoice for an extra few thousand which that told me it was inflation. I've heard more since checking this out. Do not trust them, I've learnt the hard way

We have been working with Glenn Saville at Aston Shaw delivering information relevant for local businesses across both Norfolk and Suffolk and found them great to work with. Glenn in particular is very knowledgeable and a great presenter and our clients have found the information really useful. A rarity when tax and accounting becomes interesting. We look forward to working with them again.

We chose Aston Shaw as they came highly recommended by some friends of ours in a similar business. We asked for Mark Russell who we were duly allocated to, and have found him to be extremely thorough and astute in looking after our finances. Accountants are as busy as the rest of us but when it comes to the crunch these guys really know what they are doing! The back staff that support Mark have also been A class. Can't recommend highly enough.

Having used other accountants in the past and being underwhelmed, I am glad to have found an accountant that I feel is working with me not against me. Aston Shaw are an extremely professional operation and I look forward to working with you guys. The pace that Aston Shaw work at is unlike any other accountancy service I have discovered, if you are looking for an accountant in or around Norwich that can consistently deliver fast accounts and give great advice then I highly recommend that you give Aston Shaw a look.

Great accountant; saved us loads of money. This firm is proactive and doesn't just wait until account submission time. Mr Adam Hook is a top accountant!
