Sample Reviews:
“As a director of a limited company, I cannot emphasise enough how insightful, transparent, and prompt JR Financial Accountants have been in my company’s affairs. They have provided succinct, easily actionable guidance as to my Limited Company. In addition, they also offered excellent and understandable advice concerning what I had initially deemed to be my complicated international tax affairs. However, once JR reviewed my double-taxation concerns, they put my mind at ease and provided a reliable financial prescription for which I am very thankful.” — Mathesh Kethes
“Roshan and Shankar have not only helped me but have also made me understand the whole process around VAT and choose the correct VAT for my business. He also helped me choose the right QuickBooks for my business. He has managed to save me from making the wrong decisions and taught me ways of keeping on top of my taxes. He is very welcoming and understanding of my needs and how to deal with my enquiries in a professional manner. Having Roshan as my accountant has really lifted a weight off my shoulders and having been able to really rely on him has also made my life a lot better. I wish I had met Roshan earlier. Great accountant.” — Johnson Edman

“I’ve been a client of City Taxman Accounting since 2018 and would describe this company as responsive, knowledgeable and professional … with a real personal and friendly feel. Murat and his team have looked after me and my business so well, and they are always there to give advice when needed. Their use of the latest accountancy technology makes life simpler for all. I would recommend their services without hesitation!” — Алёна Светышева
“I have been using Mr Murat’s accounting services for six years, and it has been bliss. His prompt and thorough work made it the most painless accounting experience I ever had. I started as a sole trader and then switched to a limited company, and he helped me through all of it. He was really helpful in getting back to my (naive) queries, completed the accounts very efficiently, and had great communication as well. I recommend his services to all business owners wanting to have an accurate, fast and affordable accounting service. His amazing customer service puts bigger accounting companies to absolute shame.” — Rukan Kosak

“Quick, professional, and friendly. We are a small shipping company and switched to Goringe Accountants because we were fed up with the large London firms who were never attentive nor prompt as we were too small a client. The service with Goringe is super quick. We can speak to our accountant whenever needed, we are never made to feel unimportant, and everything is completed way before the deadline. Added to excellent efficiency is a really friendly and welcoming atmosphere, which means we are always happy to pick up the phone with a query. Highly recommended.” — Matthew Newell
“Nicky and her team at Goringe Accountants are much more than my accountants. Goringe has been a financial partner close by my side during the ups and downs of running my own business over the last few years. Goringe is professional, competent and incredibly empathetic to clients’ needs and ambitions to grow. I would definitely recommend Goringe Accountants. They are always there on hand when I need them!” — Belinda Parmar
