Report
This company took over from my accountant when he sadly passed away. Unfortunately I didn't hear anything for 5 months. Confused, I rang a number of times to check they had the correct email address and make them aware of the problem. Eventually I went in in person and wrote the address down on paper, explaining again that their emails still had not come through. In my opinion there must have been a technical issue, though the company continued to converse via email, despite having my home address and phone number. Eventually I sourced their email address and began the conversation. From this

Having joined Alexander Accountancy just over a year ago, I am extremely happy they represent my financial accounts for multiple businesses. I joined from another accountant firm having been left in a mess and completely disregarded in my businesses accounting needs.
Wayne, David, Richard and the team have always gone above and beyond to answer queries, help pick up loose ends and give sound advice when it is needed. Moreover they make firm reputable recommendations where the advice required exceeds their boundaries. Highly recommend if you are spending too much time on your accounts or maybe

Our visit to see David for tax advice was superb. He explained everything clearly and enabled us to approach our forthcoming tax year, being newly self employed, worry free. It so difficult today to speak face to face to somebody about your tax affairs - especially when you dont understand the jargon etc. The free advice that Alexander Accountancy offers is a godsend. Thanks David - You're a thoroughly decent chap!

Excellent Auditing and Tax Return service supplied by David and the team.
Knowledgeable, friendly and up-to-date advice on many other financial topics too - brilliant for those of us who prefer to spend time perusing their business goals, rather than being stuck in the office! Would highly recommend.
