There is only good things that I could say about Mr. Screaton and Screatons Ltd. I have been doing my accounts with Screatons Ltd for the last 6 years and I have always been very happy with the services they provide. They ware very professional and always helped me stay on top of things. They've answer all my questions very quickly and gave me the accurate information all the time. I highly recommend Screatons Ltd!

Initially a good service however several months business bank statements(18 months) were sent out via Royal Mail then lost in the post? Not even an apology despite the close proximity of their office to my address. The second criticism was more serious as I was advised to fold my Ltd Company and close my business bank account when I took on a paye job. Fortunately I declined this advice and stopped using Screatons as an accountant!

I have been with Screatons Ltd for over 10 Years. I've had two Accountants in the 11 Years I've had my own Ltd Company - and I know I won't be in need of a third. Always friendly, great attention to detail, flexible and professional . I can't recommend them highly enough
