Jonathan Searby
Due to not being happy with our previous accountant we took the decision to change. This is not a decision that is taken likely for any business knowing the daunting task of getting the right information to transfer. I spent some considerable time looking around the Hull area as I wanted an accountant who would understand and just as important take an interest in our business. I spoke with Heather on the telephone and arranged a meeting to chat about how Newsham & Co could assist us. Heather was not put off by me wanting our Bank Manager to be in attendance and during the meeting it was apparent that Newsham & Co was the right choice for JS Power.
Now after 4 years Heather is part of the business, as we grow Heather is always available to give advice on all aspects of accountancy and is professional in her approach. I have no hesitation in recommending Newsham & Co to become part of any business team.

Alex Hansford & Will Crocker
We started Hansford & Crocker in 2007 after graduating from Hull University and just over a year later moved our accounts to Newsham & Co. In the ensuing expansion to three clinics, registration for VAT and change of our computer accounts package, Heather has been a friendly, supportive and professional source of accountancy services and advice. The early days of any business is a challenging time but Heather has been invaluable in helping us understand, navigate and comply with the often complex financial rules and regulations associated with our growth. More importantly, however, she is such a nice person to deal with. We have no hesitation in recommending Newsham & Co. to anyone requiring accountancy services.

Heather has been involved with our company from the beginning. She completed the registration process and has always been accommodating, incredibly organised and easy to communicate with. She keeps us on the right track with our Accounts and is efficient on ensuring tax deadlines are met. She has consistently provided us with an excellent service and I would happily recommend her to everyone.
