Testimonials

We have worked with a large number of small businesses and self-employed people over the past 30 years, always providing friendly and professional advice on all matters of accounting and bookkeeping.

“I have always found Alison a pleasure to deal with. Her service is prompt and attentive. She deals with all aspects of my bookkeeping, as well as weekly payroll. This saves me a lot of time and money when passing on my end of year accounts because they are so precise and in order. I would highly recommend Alison and her bookkeeping services.”

Gavin Wright, Director of a Limited Company

“Alison has been our bookkeeper for a few years, she collects all the paperwork and from that organises our PAYE, produces monthly management accounts and the quarterly VAT return. The work is done efficiently and on time. Martin Chapman, Proprietor of village shop”

“Alison showed me how to use an account package for our Community shop. This has been a great help. Every time I need advice, I email her, I always get a quick answer. Alison also processes our monthly PAYE. Before sending our yearly accounts to Mark, her husband, Alison makes sure that everything is in order. Mark prepares our year end accounts and submits our Annual return for the Financial Services Authority. The whole process is smooth and easy and very pleasant.”
