Steve and his team have been nothing but professional, helpful, and on point when it came to us starting off our new business venture. We have 2 companies, with sales taking place over in the US, and then running things from the UK where we pay ourselves. Steve has worked his magic to make things balance and connect correctly with our Taxes, so they are safely managed here in the UK. Not being accountants, I feel confident Elver are doing the right things for us, and in our company's best interests. I cant recommend them highly enough, as Steve explain's things clearly to us we feel happy to let them work for us and help us grow.

Professional and efficient service from Steve at all times. A pleasure to deal with throughout our tenancy of a public house. Would not hesitate to recommend Elver and will certainly be in contact with him when my next venture is launched.

I run a small business and have been using Elver Consultancy as my accountants for the past 4 years. I cannot rate the service that they provide highly enough. Steve and the team provide an exceptional service for a very reasonable monthly fee.

Elver has been the perfect firm for support to my portfolio of companies and personal account. Steve's patience in explaining the use of Xero Accounting Software to help me run m own affairs with his oversight has proven a particularly effective. He is always available on the phone, and no job is too unimportant or menial for him to talk through and assist, often at no additional charge. I would highly recommend his service as both reliable and affordable, with a particularly strong recommendation for small business owners looking for a safe pair of hands.

Steve has been with us from the very start, he helped us set up the business from scratch and gave us some very helpful advice. We wouldnt be where we are now without the help of Steve. He is always on the other end of a email or phone call and is very prompt on his replys. If you are a new company or been established for years I would highley recommend Elver Consultancy.

Elver Consultancy has taken away the worry about filing tax returns and all things business/tax related. They are very responsive and easy to deal with. We are on opposite sides of the country and this has never been an issue. Would definitely recommend them.

Having dealt with several accountants over years and having had bad experiences i am now glad to say we have a great accountant! Steve and the team at Elver Consultancy are efficient, honest and very reliable. They will advise you correctly and also work to tight deadlines. By far superior to most accounting firms. They are also very competitive on price. Highly recommended!

First time I needed an Accountant - first experience of running a business - any fears I had were rapidly put to rest while I was expertly advised exactly what was needed to satisfy all HMRC expectations. This is a friendly, efficient, fast responding Consultancy which makes you feel they are a constant safety net, with ready advice at every turn. Was very pleasantly surprised how low they are able to keep their fees. Irene Augustine - Shalomirene Limited
