Tony Dunn took on my accounts when my business grew and my bookkeeper was no longer able to fulfil my needs as I pushed through the vat threshold. I was recommended by a friend who also uses Walpole Dunn. Tony was brilliant with going through what would best suit my growing business. I feel I have been guided through thoroughly and I feel completely at ease that all my accounts are being dealt with by them.
