Paul Woodcock of PJW Accounting is one of the best 'tax planning' accountants I have worked with in nearly 30 years. Paul is friendly and extremely easy to talk to, has time for your needs, and explains matters in an easy to understand way - now isn't that refreshing! His knowledge is probably is one of the I have encountered, and he is happy to go the extra mile for his clients. I throughly recommend Paul for your tax planning and accountancy needs - he's simply brilliant. If in doubt - meet with him - you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Recently met Paul and the tax advice and help with Xero has been second to none. Paul has almost become part of the Miller Commercial team. If you need accounting advice, PJW Accounting is the place to go.

I had a problem with my tax coding which meant I overpaid my tax by 1500. I called PJW Accounting and they sorted out my problem straight away. The Taxman paid me back my tax in my next pay packet.
