I started my own business Late 2019, and was recommended to Lee by a close friend. Lee has been great for me and I'd like to consider him more than just my accountant - a friend, someone I can trust and has mine and my businesses best interests at heart. I know I can rely on Lee for sound advice, regarding my business accounts & finances.

LDF Accountancy Services are fast and efficient, and I can't recommend them highly enough. They are a local, family-run company I can trust with my business, and they do an excellent job - what more could you ask for? They are always on hand to give advice, and I can call in to talk to Lee face to face. A personal service and a great team.

Over the last 6 years Lee has done my accounts. I find his firm very efficient and accommodating. Lee has helped me immensely over the years with doing forecasts to help me with mortgages etc sending and receiving letters from brokers which hes never charged for. Lee is always keen looking forward to the year ahead ie keeping your books in order etc. Ive had two previous accountants one for 4years and one for 20years, both very good. I have to say Lee stands out by a country mile. Overall, an excellent and friendly service
