the mail scanning is so handy

Honestly the scanning of post is the best thing, I get a notification and can see the letter on my phone straight away. Got my office address sorted the same day too. Not bad at all.

better than the accountant we had before

We've been with them for about six years now, since our previous accountant retired and we were looking at a couple of firms. Last year's filings went through without any fuss and the reminder emails arrive well before the deadline, which the old firm never managed. Sign up was quick and the person I speak to knows our file. We pay a bit more than the cheapest option but I'd rather not have the worry.

Far more patient than the last firm

Compared with the firm I used before, they were far more patient with my questions and didn't make me feel silly for asking. My son set up the online account for me and I've been filing my confirmation statement through it ever since. I'm very grateful for the help.

Fine but pricey for what it is

Why I needed them was simple: I had two years of self assessment behind and no time to do it. The return was filed, which is what I wanted, but the fee was more than I'd been quoted for the basic package once they added the extra forms. Support was polite when I rang, though I'd expected a quicker answer on the price query. It's workable, just not cheap for a one-person business like mine.

Compared a few and this was the easiest

I'd been putting off sorting out our VAT registration for months. I compared three firms and this one had the clearest pricing and a sign-up that didn't ask for the same information twice. Our adviser got back to me within a working day each time I emailed with a question. Filing went through smoothly and the confirmation came through straight away.

Payroll set up without any bother

I'm not one for computers so I was rather nervous about setting up the payroll for my two part-time staff. Their team took me through each step by phone and sent a clear summary afterwards, which I've kept in my file. The payslips went out on the right date and the tax codes were picked up properly. I'm grateful for the patience they showed me, and I'd say it was good value for a small business like mine.

reliable and no nonsense

Been with them for the best part of ten years now. Filings are done on time, the reminders are useful and they answer the phone when I ring. Nothing flashy but that's exactly what I want from an accountant.

The mail scanning saved me a trip

Scanning of post is the bit I use most and it's worth it on its own. Letters arrive, I get a ping on my phone and I can see what it is straight away, no more piles on the kitchen table. Had a HMRC letter last month and I had it open in about a minute. Been with them a long time now and I've never had a letter go missing, which I can't say for the post office.

Sign up was a bit fiddly but fine after

I've set up a couple of companies before so I knew roughly what to expect from the forms. The registration form is a bit fiddly though, it kept timing out halfway through and I had to start again once. Once I was through it all went smoothly and the admin team replied to my emails within the day. Prices are fair for what you get and I'd use them again.

does exactly what I needed

Compared three providers and this was the one I stuck with. Sign-up was quick and the team got my first return in ahead of schedule. Good value and easy to deal with.

The registration form is a bit fiddly

I used them to set up a limited company for my catering business and have been with them since. The registration form is a bit fiddly on mobile, it kept logging me out halfway through the address section. Once that was sorted the company was incorporated within a couple of days and the paperwork came through clearly.

Why I needed a bookkeeper

I was doing my own books on spreadsheets until I got a letter from HMRC about a mismatch in my figures. I needed someone who knew how the software talks to the tax office properly. The bookkeeper they assigned spotted the problem in her first week and walked me through the fix. I'd used accountants before so I know what good looks like, and this is it.

fine but the bill came as a surprise

Honestly they do the job, the accounts and tax returns were filed on time and nothing was wrong with them. The bit that annoyed me was that the year-end fee was higher than the quote I was given at the start, and it took three emails over a week to get someone to explain why. Ordering was simple and the actual service is solid, just not what I expected on the invoice.

sorted my company registration first time

Used them to file our annual confirmation statement and the company registration side, which I'd done myself before and always got wrong. The form asked for the right things in the right order and the status updated within a day. I've worked in payroll for years so I know how fiddly these filings can be, and this was simpler than doing it through the government portal. Price was fair for what you get.

took weeks to get my return sorted

I've used them for a few years, so I knew what I was signing up for. This time the paperwork I sent over had a missing page and it took about three weeks of back and forth before the return was actually filed. I was given a timeline that wasn't kept and nobody told me the delay until I asked. The end result was fine but I had to chase it more than I'd like.

Better than the other one I tried

Tried another firm first and their sign-up was a nightmare so I switched to these. Way quicker to get set up and the dashboard is much easier to use on my phone. The only thing is the chat support was slow one afternoon, took like an hour to get a reply, but sorted now.

needed a registered office address

We needed a proper registered office address before the bank would open our business account. Compared three providers and went with these because the sign-up took about ten minutes. Mail gets scanned and sent on, and so far so good.

Quick to sign up but one bit was fiddly

I looked at a few options before picking these and the sign up was the quickest of the lot, took maybe twenty minutes on my phone. The only thing that threw me was the bit asking for my utr number which I had to dig out from an old letter. Once that was sorted everything else went smoothly and I've had no reason to complain since.

Yeah they're good

Yeah they're good, signed up in like ten mins and my bits were filed on time. The app is pretty easy to use when I need to upload receipts and i got a reply within the day when I asked about something. Would use again for sure.

Switched from my old accountant and glad I did

Switched over from an accountant my dad recommended because they were way cheaper and way quicker to reply. The app shows what's going in and out and I can snap a receipt and it gets filed. My tax bill was sorted before the deadline and I actually understood the letter that came back. Only wish they'd let me sign up with a Google login but that's a tiny thing.
