Loretta Marconi, Lomar Prosperity Limited
Courteous and friendly staff who are willing to help Timely delivery of company accounts Provide guidance and explanations around HRMC procedures more so patient to new users of processes Personable service e.g going through account queries Very diverse service who complete forms on behalf of the client which is a bonus for those of us who are short of time Reliable, proactive, and professional service acting on my company's behalf. I do not have to worry about or chase my accounts

Having used Alvin Lawrence for nearly 5 years now I am very impressed and pleased with the service that they supply to their clients on all levels. My one and only problem I have had in this time was very quickly rectified by the staff once they had realised the mistake. I would and have recommend them to any contractors out there wishing to use an efficient and professional company at a more than reasonable price.
P. Sladden
As a fresher to the world of contracting, I was unsure about the different payment solutions available to contractors and which one would benefit me most. I was referred to Alvin Lawrence & Co by my recruitment agency and I received a very informative phone call from them. I was then able to decide, that setting up my own company would be the best thing for me to do. I thought Id be lumbered with paperwork, but other than invoicing my clients, I hardly have to do anything. I never thought it would be this straight-forward. Highly recommended!
Debbie Bramwell
The process is very easy, just a simple template and then send anything else in an envelope. The turnaround time on month end etc is usually very quick, and not restricted by cut off dates which works for me as sometimes I do my month end immediately and sometimes not.
R. Beadle
They have literally saved my business tens of thousands of pounds. My previous accountant failed to advise me on certain tax liabilities, which left my business with a huge bill from HMRC. After analysing my accounts, they rectified the errors dramatically reducing the bill from HMRC. They are always so helpful and I can always get hold of my accountant.
K. Badirus
I left it very late to complete my last self-assessment. I spoke to a colleague who recommended Alvin Lawrence to me. I visited their office and they completed my self-assessment whilst I was waiting in their office. Theyre all very friendly and I would recommend them to anyone.
O. Lawal
I came across Alvin Lawrence & Co when I was looking for a new accountant due to my previous accountant retiring. I initially hired them to complete my self-assessment tax-return and I was really impressed with their friendliness, efficiency and attention to detail. They also spotted various errors and issues with my finances and they also gave me excellent advice on my investments. I have now been with Alvin Lawrence & Co for 18 months.
