Harris & Co. handles both our personal and our limited company's needs very well. The owner, Phil Harris, always goes out of his way to ensure his company addresses your enquiry promptly, both via email and telephone. Before we switched to Harris & Co. in 2012, we muddled through four accountants, of which all gave us varying degrees of poor-to-acceptable service. I am glad to say in 2016 that we're still with Harris & Co. and that they've been providing us with very good service ever since. The team behind Harris & Co. is packed with some fantastic people, including Michael, Carol and Joy. Whenever
