How has Adam Shaw helped you?

I've worked with Adam for around two years and he has always gone above and beyond for my small consultancy business. Accounting scares me half to death, but Adam always makes time to explain things, talks in plain English (and makes a great cup of tea!) and then basically, just handles things so that I don't have to worry about them and can focus, instead, on delivering work for my clients. I really trust Adam and it's a pleasure to work with him.

Adam is extremely reliable and efficient in keeping our accounts. It takes all the weight off our shoulders when it comes to VAT, tax & PAYE so we can concentrate on everyday business.

How has Adam Shaw helped you?

We are a small start-up and Adam has been extremely helpful. We knew little about how to structure our company and even less about tax and VAT. He has suggested an implemented software to help us track quotes, payments and our banking system, as well as always being on hand to answer any questions.

How has Adam Shaw helped you?

I was referred to Adam after a disappointing experience with another accountant and I'm so glad I made the switch. As the owner of a relatively new small business, with little time and little understanding of the workings of HMRC, Adam's patience and advice have been much appreciated. I feel able to ask stupid questions, and can sleep at night knowing that I'm compliant and solvent.

What could they have done better?

Nothing. Adam is available when I have questions and clear with any instructions.

I would highly recommend Adam Shaw. He helped us to set up our company and completes our annual accounts. He is very supportive - always quick to respond and happy to help with anything we need. He is efficient and always ensures that we are aware of and meet our deadlines and his work is always of a very high standard.

How has Adam Shaw helped you?

I found Adam very easy to deal with. He explained everything very clearly to me and I was able to understand exactly what he needed from me. His advice was also very helpful and he identified areas that would save me money in the long run for making a few changes in the day to day running of my business. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

How has Adam Shaw helped you?

Adam has been extremely helpful, ever since I went into business on my own, four years ago. He deals with all my tax, VAT and statutory reporting, leaving me to run the business. Adam is also a useful source of advice, on financial matters as well as reviewing contracts. I would certainly recommend Adam to anyone running a business similar to mine.

How has Adam Shaw helped you?

We are a small 10 year old business who's market place is not the norm, as we hunt for and help veterans who are in need of help and a guiding hand with employment and training. Adam was not our first Accountant he joined us 7 years ago, he brought a solid, mature, approach to our needs and a firm direction as to how we should battle each day with the old problem of cash flow out striped by sales. He changed our entire approach to our accounts and bookkeeping, our monthly accounts reporting really opened up areas where we were not doing so well as we had thought and helped us improve our costs and GP. A top man at his job, if he comes on the telephone you know it is important, if its an email we relax a bit more. We respect his skill set and his many years of excellent advice given to others that we have introduced him to. Our reporting has always been on time to HMRC and the rest, no mistakes. 6 Stars from us

How has Adam Shaw helped you?

Without doubt one of the single best investments we have made as a company getting Adam onboard. Everything about our accounting is now easier and more streamlined than ever before. We have complete visibility on our numbers and on the rare occasions something doesn't make sense, Adam always answers the phone to help us understand what is happening and where necessary advises how we can address any issues.

How has Adam Shaw helped you?

Adam is a competent, accessible and calm individual who makes the sometimes rather dry issues of my accounts and book keeping relatively edifying. He is also, notably an exceptionally nice guy who tolerates the idiosyncracies of me and my business very well.

What could they have done better?

I wish I could help...but I have no criticisms, constructive or otherwise.

Adam has supported our growth from one-man-in-a-coffee-shop through to a thriving business with 30 employees. Adam is always approachable, helpful and patient.....with strong technical knowledge. He is very tech-savvy, encouraging us to use cloud-based software like Xero and Receipt Bank, saving hours of time every month. I have recommended Adam to several friends and former colleagues.
