Report
We've been a client of Slaters for 10 years and are delighted with their service. We're a small company but we are treated with the importance of a large company. They provide monthly management accounts, payroll and annual tax returns (personal and company). Plus advice on any financial questions that I may have. Ignore the 1 star review, there are two sides to every story. I've never been anything but completely satisfied.

Report
Addition are referenced in my other review. In error we overpaid about 4,500 in VAT. We were convinced we were due this as a refund from HMRC. However, Slaters advised us not to claim it as it would be due to the customer. We went against Slaters advice and made the claim with HMRC ourselves, even telling them we were in dispute with our accountant on this issue. We explain this in writing and HMRC called us as well (call recorded) and HMRC totally agreed with us and refunded us the money.

We were given Slaters Accountant's name from our previous accountant who was looking to concentrate on other things. We found them to be very friendly and approachable and easy to talk to with regards's to business matters. The help that has been given regards to pensions, sage accounts issues, making tax digital etc was invaluable, any issues that we have great or small are dealt with without hesitation. I would recommend them to anybody, especially Mark who's a wizard on sage matters. Thanks. Andy
