'Before working with Scullard I used a small, local firm of accountants. I found that they were not very responsive, things were left to the last minute and I did not receive any proactive advice from them. Overall, I didn't feel that I was receiving value for the fees I was paying and there was always a doubt as to whether I was paying too much tax or if everything was being done on time. I changed over to Scullard a number of years ago and things couldn't have been more different since. The team are all very professional, very personable and very quick to respond to me. They are completely on top of what needs to be done and ask for anything they need from me to deal with my accounts, tax and VAT in good time. Knowing that all of this is in safe hands means I have less to worry about and can concentrate on supporting my own clients. They keep my accounts up to date throughout the year and keep me updated about what tax bills are due when and what future tax bills are building up so there are never any nasty surprises. They are also very proactive with tax saving advice such as when and how much to pay into my pension and providing personalised calculations of what dividends I should pay to be as tax efficient as possible. If anyone has the same frustrations and worries that I had with my old accountants I would certainly recommend getting in touch with Scullard.’

'When we first started the business we used a large, well known firm as our accountants as we assumed that they would be able to support us with everything we needed and have answers to all of our questions. We found that we were often dealing with junior staff who didn't really understand us or our business so we struggled to get the information and answers we needed. Since we moved to Scullard a few years ago this has all changed. They are really easy to get hold of and it's obvious that all of the team are very experienced and very knowledgeable. They have an in depth understanding of our business and the issues we face so whatever questions we have, they give us the answers quickly. It is also obvious that they are on top of all of our HMRC deadlines. They chase us for what they need to make sure everything is done when it should and we've never had any problems with anything being late. We have total peace of mind that they are dealing with everything they need to when they need to so we can concentrate on running and growing our business without having to lose time dealing with any accounts or tax admin.

'Before working with Scullard our accountants used to just prepare the year end accounts and we had to use different companies for our bookkeeping and another for payroll.  None seemed to have an in depth understanding of our business and it wasn't obvious who we should speak to when we had questions or problems.

Scullard now take care of everything for us.  The team are incredibly easy to work with and whatever questions we have get answered quickly and they are completely on top of our numbers.  Having a single point of contact has made things so much easier so we can concentrate on running our business without having to worry about anything to do with accounts, tax or payroll.

They also give us a really useful report every month that summarises our accounts and tells us what our future tax bills are as well as key points we need to be aware of.  We never had this before and it is a really useful tool to help us run the business more effectively and profitably.'

'Scullard were recommended to us when we about to undertake a management buy out.  Their support through this process was invaluable and saved us £000s.  The move from employee to business owner was difficult as there were so many things about accounts, tax and running a business that we just didn't know.

The support and advice we received from Scullard was fantastic.  They explained everything to us clearly so we could understand what we needed to do about tax and payroll.  They take care of everything for us so we can get on with finding clients and delivering our services knowing that accounts, tax and payroll side of the business just happens.

We get a very helpful report every month that tells us where the business is at financially, what tax bills are due when and what future tax bills are likely to look like.  We can plan for our tax payments easily without worrying about a bill we don't expect.  Scullard also support us with wider business issues and advice.  They really seem to understand our business and the issues we face so give us valuable advice whatever problem we ask them about.'
