Report
Neil has been my accountant for a number of years. He has always given great advice and steered me to make the correct honest decisions for my business. In the beginning I was looking for some one who was at the top of the profession and you would find it difficult to get better than Neil. We have now grown substantially and looking to lean on him more through the mine field of accounts and ensure we are always on top of things. I would recommend you speak to Phillips Chartered Accountants for your accounting needs and we thank them for all their help over the years.
