Thanks to Max my client manager my accounts always go through very smoothly at the end of the year. If I have any concerns or queries no matter how big or small or silly then I just contact Max & he is sure to respond quickly with an answer. King & Taylor have even managed to train me up to use Xero digital bookkeeping, which I was sure I could never do, but I have never looked back! All round Im very pleased with the service provided.

Just cant believe it that they can't even run payroll right. Just finished service with them and will never hire them again. I strongly advise any small business or newly set up company better not using their service as you may end up paying more due to their fault advice. Utterly disappointed
