When I set up my business, Lisa and Clackson Accountancy were there to support me through a steep learning curve with company accounts. They provided clear advice, helping me set up everything correctly and keeping me on track. Since then, Clarkson Accountancy has managed all our accounts, from paying staff, calculating our tax and national insurance contributions, registering to become VAT registered as we grew, advising us on what are legitimate expenses and what is not, to doing our year-end books on time and with no fuss. We dont worry about our accounts as we know that Lisa and Clarkson
