I cannot recommend Emma Henderson and her team at Wasley Chapman highly enough. I have struggled in the past with accountants who either charged far too much or who were too lazy to advise on how to make my company tax efficient. Meeting Emma and working with her has been a revelation. She is very personable, responds immediately and lucidly to all my queries and, above all, saves me money. Given the Government's outrageous plan to increase Corporation Tax by six per cent, advisers like Emma are more important than ever - and are like gold dust. It is no exaggeration to say to switching to Wasley Chapman has been one of the best decisions I have made since I launched my company, Robert Beaumont Associates, over 20 years ago.

Last year I was struggling with my accounts and felt stressed out with amount of bookwork I was having to do as well as being flat out on the tools, it was getting too much for me so after mentioning my worries to Gemma at Bigboolies she urged me to speak to Emma at M.Wasley Chapman, straight away without any prompting Emma told me everything I needed to hear and that they'd do everything my old accountants was supposed to be doing and at a significant saving too.
It took me all of 2 minutes to make my mind up, best decision I've made! Emma and her team are always available and have helped massively in helping my business function as it should, I've recently gone VAT registered and straight away Emma was on the phone explaining the way forward. I can't recommend Emma and her team highly enough! Looking forward to many years of Athena Joinery & Renovations working alongside Emma and her team at M.Wasley chapman & Co. thanks for all you've done the last year.

My company @bigboolies have been with Neil Duell at Wasley Chapman and co for well over 14 years now, and his junior Emma Henderson, whom now fully qualified has become my first port of call and I cannot shout enough good things about this company. I was a start up from home sole trader and was guided through all my financial steps by Neil in my accountancy through to tax. As my company thrives through hard work and good advice and guidance from my accountants I now employ 6 staff and Wasley Chapman have taken on all the pay roll, vat, tax returns and all the purchasing ledgers which almost put me rocking in a chair at one point.
It's unbelievably stressful and worrying is the paperwork part of owning a business and M Wasley Chapman have freed me up as a boss to do the one thing I need to do, run the business without worry and stress of all thats important to run a successful legally responsible business. if you need an efficient, reasonable costing accountancy company then in my opinion there are none better in the whole of Yorkshire.
