I've been with Footprints for seven years now from starting up my business. They are professional, courteous, friendly and efficient. Although I've had many offers and recommendations for other accountants I wouldn't dream of going elsewhere. Well done to all the team at Footprints.

The support from Footprints team has always been fantastic, but during this period of Corona virus they have been just awesome. During the lockdown many accountants have closed and furloughed most of their staff. And this is when the businesses have been in real need of support and advice. BUT Footprints made arrangements to continue working and providing support for businesses, sending information and advice sometimes even daily, replying emails and returning calls, so that no client is left alone. If you are looking for an accountant or are disappointed with yours, it is time to contact Footprints.

Have been with footprints now for a number of years and they have always provided excellent top class service. Throughout the covid 19 pandemic there help/guidance and support has been invaluable for helping us through the maze of applying for business support grants and loans etc. I would recommend footprints accountancy to anyone in need of an accountant and may also be looking to grow their business at the same time.

Julie and her team at Footprints are much more than you would ever receive from a traditional accountancy service. The interest and care they all give to individual business owners is over and above anything you would ever expect. Julie has a wealth of knowledge regarding all aspects of running a business, from financial accounts to business mentoring, growth and profitability. As an accountancy service the team at Footprints take all the worry and stress business owners may experience in book-keeping and being compliant etc.

I know from experience of starting a business how finding the right accountant can make all the difference. Julie has made all the difference to us, and we are grateful that we found Footprints. I have no hesitation in recommending Footprints Accountancy to anyone running a business or charity.

Footprints have been great in removing the pressure off my Companies financial affairs; this provides me with the opportunity to concentrate on it's day to day management without the unnecessary stress that accounts can inheritantly create. Julie and her team are professional and reliable but the over riding and fundamental quality I appreciate is Julies personable and approachable personality. I have recommended Footprints to all of my contacts needing accountancy services and will continue to do so in the future.

When I started my business seven years ago, I thought I could do my own accounts. And I could- in year one. In year two the business grew- and being a sales and marketing type personality who loathes admin detail. including accounts, I was only 24 hours late filing to HMRC. They didn't see things my way and a huge fine later, I handed over my accounts to Julie. BEST business decision I ever made.

Her practise is full of smart, caring, expert women- and men- who look after the financials in my business, leaving me free to look after the people who excite and pay me. my customers! I don't know another accountant with Julie's level of integrity, transparency, empathy and hands-on support. Plus with her technical skills, growth expertise and finance background, Footprints' clients truly get the whole package. Whoever you are with, do talk to Julie. Why take average service when you could have FIRST CLASS?

I have worked with Julie and her team for around two years now and cannot recommend Footprints Accountancy enough. I value the holistic approach they take and find it extremely helpful that my emails and calls are always answered very quickly, this certainly makes the stress of our company accounts much easier than it might otherwise be. If you are debating getting in touch with Footprints then be sure to make the call, we certainly have been very impressed.

Well done to Julie and her fantastic team!!

We have discovered a refreshing approach to financial matters with Julie Robinson and her team. Their proactive approach to our needs has led us into Growth Accelerator and then on to develop a successful department redevelopment and expansion, which is increasing foot fall and business.

Footprints are always very accommodating and helpful when filing our accounts. We regularly recommend them to other people as they're really personable and dependable and make the hassle of end of year accounts seem so much less stressful than we thought they would be.

Julie and her team are not just accountants. They are business experts and are always looking for new ways to support their clients. Julie helped me access funding to develop my online provision and I am excitedly waiting for my new website and marketing to begin. The expert she put me in touch with has understood my particular small business and ethos and is working with me to grow my online presence. Julie would always be my first port of call for general business advice not just accountancy services and I have recommended her to many other SME's.
