Report
I had completed my Work experience with Mr.Curl himself and made me feel very welcome and homely whilst there. The Company had taught me very well and I had learn't quite a lot about the different aspects of Accounting and the daily tasks of an accountant. Would highly recommend for anyone.

Phil was introduced to me nearly 20 years ago by my Sister, whom he previously did Tax returns for. Since then he has handled all my tax affairs. His firm handle all my accounts from book keeping, wages, VAT, right through to final Tax returns - for 3 different companies I own. I cannot recommend him highly enough for his professional friendly service and his uncomplicated advice.

He not only gives accounting advice but his business knowledge has helped me enormously. I know I can reply on him anytime on many subjects. My business has grown with Phil by my side throughout. I couldn't recommend him more.

Back then as today, the advise that he gave me was invaluable and played a huge part in the success of my business. Now 11 years on he still provides me with those same levels of support. My business has grown to a Limited Company over the years and Phil is still always available to assist with any questions that I may have.
