I was a Gorilla client for around 3 years whilst working as a contractor. My accountant James was fantastic and made my life so much easier in terms of the business books and my own personal tax returns. Would 100% recommend Gorilla to anyone working in a sector for which they offer services. The only reason I have left is that my new business is of a type not covered by Gorilla.

Can't fault the service and the advice I was given throughout my time dealing with Gorilla Accounting. I have only stopped using them as I have now closed my company and moved into a permanent position with a large organisation. I would recommend their services to anyone.

I used Gorilla accounting for over 4 years and was always happy with their service. I have spoken and emailed a few team members and everyone was always professional, very polite and never thought my questions were stupid. I also recommended them to a friend of mine who signed up and is still with them. I would recommend them to anyone.

I have used Gorilla Accounting for many years and have found them to be consistently reliable, highly responsive, and very friendly. It's not all been plain sailing as I had to raise an issue at one point (yes, just once over many years!) but it was very swiftly acknowledged and dealt with to my satisfaction. They were professional in how they handled this, as they have always been. I frequently recommend them to friends and colleagues when I hear some of the horror stories about the experiences of their accountants, or perhaps just the (high) cost and (low) quality of service that they think

Gorilla Accounting are brilliant. They provide a professional and good value service. I wish I had moved to Gorilla sooner because I am closing my company to retire, so only had two years with them. The FreeAgent tool provided with the service is fantastic. Highly recommended

I switched to Gorilla and they have handled the accounts expertly since. I was assigned a personal accoutnant which was much better than never speaking to the same person.
Queries were responded to quickly and clearly and there was no upselling nonsense as experienced elsewhere!
