I cannot recommend Brooks and Co Accountants enough! I decided that after ploughing on from setting up as a sole trader 4 years ago and becoming a limited company, as well as going VAT registered, that I needed to stop trying to do things myself to 'save' money, whereas in reality I ended up wasting time and money.
Simi, Amy and the team collectively worked to put right all of my messy spreadsheets and organise our accounts and future accounting to now save us time and money. It was a no brainer now looking back and I wish I'd not only taken on an accountant sooner but more specifically Brooks
