Melanie Curtis Accountants have been supporting my business for a few years now and provide an excellent, invaluable service. Since helping to incorporate my business, they have helped with a range of accountancy services including VAT, PAYE, Self Assessment, Bookkeeping and Annual Accounts submission. Not only do they provide excellent accountancy services, but also have valuable Business Growth services and tools that set's them apart from 'traditional' accountants. Assistance with forecasting, planning and reporting helps me to better understand how my business is doing and where it is going

I've been working with Mel and her team for a while now and have happily recommended her to a number of other business owners. Mel goes way beyond the standard accountant's service (which she delivers to the highest standards)... she'll help you clarify your business and personal objectives, work with you to develop action plans to help achieve them, monitor performance and provide support along the way. When I set up Proten Sales Development, I "interviewed" several accountants and Mel stood out as someone I instantly felt wouldn't just be "my accountant", but someone I could work with as a partner

I have nothing but positive comments of Mel and her team, very professional, listen, help with great advice. My accounts and tax returns are done painlessly with the minimum of fuss. I have been with them for 10 years and would totally recommend them. As an added note the help and timely advice during the COVID19 situation has been very well received, documenting the ever changing support packages from the government in a very easy and accessible way

We are a small business who have been using Melanie Curtis Accountants for the last 6 years. They are very easy to talk to, explain things in great detail if we are unsure & act very quickly when needed. Everyone we have spoken to at the office has been very helpful. We would highly recommend Melanie Curtis Accountants.
