Ive used the team at Stonehouse for over 6 years, first as a soletrader in the construction industry then with their help to set up as a limited company. Frank is a true champion in his game with a hardworking team alongside him helping things get done. From the initial review and start up You are made to feel part of the family. They have helped me year in and year out to pay just the right amount of taxes with friendly avice throughout. Not just your cheap run of the mill cheapo accountancy. Definately worth their fee.

Stonehouse Accountants has what I call a broad spectrum of skills; they really understood my business and can be trusted to come up with credible solutions rather than your run of the mill Accountancy Firm who simply don't bother to understand what it is you are running and just look at the black and white numbers. I've had them working on my accounts, tax returns, payroll etc for well over 20 years now. Straight talking, hard advice, transparent always and adding real value to my business rather than what you sometimes get which is hollow consultancy. Yes, they probably are not the cheapest, nor

Disgusting attitude from the person answering the phone. I called these guys for work i needed doing for my removal business and was rudely told we were not interested twice, without even knowing the purpose of my call. Disgraceful!!!
