Report
We used Aston Shaw for the past 6 years. Mark noakes one of the directors, agreed a price to do our accounts. When we sold out they hit us with a invoice for an extra few thousand which that told me it was inflation. I’ve heard more since checking this out. Do not trust them, I’ve learnt the hard way

We chose Aston Shaw as they came highly recommended by some friends of ours in a similar business. We asked for Mark Russell who we were duly allocated to, and have found him to be extremely thorough and astute in looking after our finances. Accountants are as busy as the rest of us but when it comes to the crunch these guys really know what they are doing! The back staff that support Mark have also been A class. Can't recommend highly enough.
