Nick was as helpful as a person could be. Arranged a chat with him in which he gave me some quality advice. The best advice I’ve had since starting up my own business. He was very clear about how much he charges and really listened to the issues I raised with him. Would highly recommend.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an accountant?

I did self assessment myself last year and did it completely wrong. My tax was disproportionally high and I ended up paying more than £3000 extra. This year I have been advised to ask a professional accountant to help me with my self assessment.

How has Nick Cottrill helped you?

Nick was excellent. He reviewed the self assessments for both 2017/18 and 2016/17. He was extremely professional, very prompt and to the point in his responses. I am very glad I have met Nick.

Yes, I am very pleased with the outcome.

What could they have done better?

I may have suggestions in future when I have worked with Nick longer, but do not have anything to comment on at the moment, except of very positive feedback.
