Freedom in Numbers were recommended to me by a business colleague who had recently switched to them. Hannah, Natalie and the team are friendly, reliable and always available for help and advice. They are easy to talk to and very responsive. I trust them and have confidence in them and wish I had switched a long time ago. I feel they work in partnership with me to manage my accounts and records. Highly Recommended.

As a young video production company we've been doing our accounts ourselves for a number of years and felt it was time to take the step to pass this on to a professional accountant service in order for us to focus more on creative projects and jobs, but to still feel our accounts would be in capable hands. Freedom in Numbers are friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable in accountancy, Hannah and Simon give great advice whenever we need it (and as creatives we tend to need it quite often!).

From the outset Hannah has provided up to date information, sound advice and a comprehensive schedule for us to work to. Always quick to respond to questions and answers honestly. It's very refreshing to meet an accountant who genuinely wants to help small businesses grow and to understand the individual.

I recommend Freedom in numbers and Hannah in particular, very highly and unreservedly. We moved offices recently and I started looking for an accountant closer to the new offices. In looking I came across Freedom in Numbers quite by chance. From the first meeting Hannah has done everything she said she would. Our accounting processes have been made simpler and easier, I always have up-to-date and accurate information on the financial health of our businesses. Hannah goes out of her way to provide a first-class service and is always looking for ways to improve business profitability.

Hannah is my 3rd accountant in 3 years of running my business. I struggled to find an accountant who was dedicated to helping new start up / small businesses get set up properly and feel fully supported. I needed an accountant who would be patient, explain things, support me and work as an extension of my team. I won't be changing accountants again. Hannah is wonderful. I finally feel I have someone I can trust to make sure the finance side of my business is being taken care of leaving me free to do what I enjoy most and what I'm good at in my business. I very highly recommend Hannah.

In the short time that we have employed Hannah as our accountant, she has been fully engaged, highly diligent and a true professional. She has made herself available to us via email, phone calls and personal meetings at our offices, often at very short notice. Her fresh approach to our business has already paid financial dividends. We have no hesitation in recommending Hannah, especially if you are a new start-up or an established small business.

We had big chop with lots of financial spaghetti to unravel and Hannah got us through in to the other side. She's smart and has very good communication skills.

Hannah's support with my first self-assessment was invaluable and she even noticed a few things which I'd forgotten to include. I'd highly recommend using Freedom in Numbers.
