Paul looks after our payroll and has guided us through VAT registration, tax and on keeping our accounts. We have found him to be extremely honest, friendly and professional at all times and we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anybody. Paul gives a professional service you just don’t get with bigger, less personal companies.
