Testimonials
With an expanding business to look after and with a lot of our time being spent on sales and operational activities, we found that some of our accounting procedures needed looking at if we were to going maintain an accurate view of our company’s finances. We turned to Dorian who helped us to save time in our financial administration as well as providing ongoing support and assistance with our VAT returns and payroll. We were extremely impressed when we needed to produce a set of company accounts at short-notice to support a mortgage application and he was able to respond to our request with the minimum of fuss
