Lubbock Fine have been my accountant of choice since 2003. They are quite simply fantastic and provide a 5 star service at reasonable rates, getting the job done properly each and every time. Fantastic service and notable shout outs to Stephen Banks and Phan Dang without whom I would have been stuck a few times! Cannot rate them highly enough, and remember this is accountants we are talking about not food!

I am a long standing customer of Lubbock Fine and have found them to be excellent across the many accounting requirements I have had in that time. As my client partner, Stephen has demonstrated an excellent ability to distill down complex issues into a sensible plan of action whilst simultaneously explaining these to me succinctly throughout the process. Full marks all round.

Report
Very poor service from this firm, resulted in our accounts being late for two years in a row. Our experience is that if you are not a big account for this firm then they do not care about you and do not provide the service that is expected. If you are a small company go somewhere else to be a valued customer, they will not value your business here!
