My old account was good, I got results, but I demanded results quicker. I don't like to sit around a wait. I like things done.

How has Manny Rai helped you?

Best firm around town. Me and my family have dealt with many accountancy firms over the last 30 years of being in business. There have been some good and some bad, but when you join Cheylesmore Accountants you will notice the difference. The level of services is amazing you can not doubt it. Their knowledge is far beyond others and not to mention they actually listen and value your thoughts/opinions. What ever the situation is they will have an outcome. Highly Recommended.

Old Accountant leaving

How has Manny Rai helped you?

We have been using Cheylesmore Accountants for over a year and its been quite the turnaround. We had an accountant who didn't really understand the power of Xero and therefore we were limited in what we could do. Since then we have trusted them with helping us get funding, producing management accounts and cashflow forecasts. The main thing they have done is really organised our company financials by setting up expense processes and helping us manage our inventory better. Couldn't recommend them enough.

Yes he is brilliant

Bad experience with old accountants.

How has Manny Rai helped you?

Best accountants in Coventry hands down. After being disspointed by my previous two Coventry accountants I finally came across Cheylesmore Accountants. When I left my old accountants my accounts where a mess. Cheylesmore Accountants really put my mind at ease and helped me organise my accounts and finances. Since then i have been able to focus on increasing my profits. Manny also was able to help me with my personal tax queries around capital gains.
