DO NOT use this company to do to your accounting their absolutely appalling levels of incompetency led to me paying double the tax bill I should've, incredibly rude company director, and cost a small fortune to use. Was told I had everything I needed for my tax return when in fact I didn't, and they failed to tell me, letting the penalties build-up, without informing me. Don't waste your time and money here it's about 3 times more costly than a normal tax return accountant
