Sample Reviews:
“I only started working as self-employed four years ago. After doing some research, I found Absolute Accountants Ltd. From the moment I made contact, I knew I made the right choice. Paul and Letitia have been nothing but friendly, professional and efficient. Made the transition very smooth & never felt like any question was a silly one. Ran an Ltd Company also, which they have been amazing with my accounts. Would highly recommend them. Will continue to use and recommend to others.” — Marcus Sandiford
“We are really impressed with the work Letitia has just done for us. She has created a report that is really well structured and extremely clear, takes a relatively complex subject, and makes it easy for the layperson to understand and digest. Letitia’s written work was also followed up with a Zoom call where we were able to ask questions and ensure we understood her report correctly. I would thoroughly recommend anyone looking for sound accountancy advice to consider using Absolute Accountants for a friendly, thorough and professional service. Thank you so much & we look forward to working with you again in the future.” — Liz Blossom

“Hamid has been my accountant for many years. Initially, when I was contracting as an IT consultant, and then when I moved into the property business, he was always very professional and gave good advice throughout our relationship. I am happy to discuss and explain all aspects of tax implications for me or the business, even when I come up with some crazy ideas. Has always filed my returns on time, and I have never had any issues with the tax authorities since he has been my accountant. I would recommend him without hesitation.” — Javaid Shafi
“When searching for a new accountant after three years with a disastrous one, I came across Atlantic Accounting. I am extremely pleased with the service provided. Hamid is an extremely kind man with much patience for me and all my questions. He helpfully provided all answers in a non-accountant way so I could understand exactly what was needed from me. He is extremely professional and prompt with his services and went above and beyond to help me get my accounts sorted.” — Jackie Brooks

“I have not chosen MTM. I simply ended up with them because the former accountant for 14 years simply vanished after handing his business over, yet I am very happy with them. Despite the fact that MTM took over when it was clear that I was in the process of leaving the UK because of Brexit, they took care of everything with competence and patience, two things very important when you leave the UK tax system for another one, in my case the terribly complex German tax system. I recommend them wholeheartedly.” — Kai Jaeger
“I own a Skip Hire Company and have been using MTM Chartered Accountants for some years now. We are more than pleased with their services. We use them for our yearly accounts, VAT submissions and PAYE each month. They have always come back to me promptly with any questions I have, and I have never had reason to complain. I would thoroughly recommend MTM. They provide an excellent service.” — Karon Horwood
