Sample Reviews:
“We started working with Spurling Cannon almost 4 years ago now and have never made a better business decision in 14 years of trading in total. Steve, Andrew, Amanda & the team have transformed the way we work and our efficiency completely. They are on the ball. The previous firm we used was London-based, over-promised and hugely under-delivered. Moving across was a breeze on Spurling Cannon’s part. They manage all of our accounts, and we have full trust and faith in the advice given and received.” — Seastay Ltd.
“We have been using Spurling Cannon in Thanet for about 15 years and have been very impressed. We have only had two accountants at Spurling Cannon during that time, and we have been more than happy with them both. We are always able to contact them easily, and if they are not in, they always return our call. We are able to get any questions answered, no matter how silly they may seem! All the staff are helpful, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.” — Suzanne Box
