What our clients say
Verified Google reviews from real Mercian clients — about Graham, Jake, Leo and the wider team.
As a new business start-up, Jake Holdroyd has been excellent at guiding me through business taxes, VAT and all the other complex financial matters. Always available, Jake is a great accountant.
100% would recommend Mercian, they have helped us so much. Very friendly team who are always a call away with any queries. Leo especially has been fantastic with guidance when we started and continues to support us with the day to day.
Highly recommended. Great service from Jake and the team. Jake always takes time to explain tax issues and procedures (in the simplified terms I need!) and responds quickly to queries. Won’t be going anywhere else.
I highly recommend Mercian Accountants. I’ve had a really positive experience working with Graham and Leo. They are very patient and explain everything fully. I have used Mercian for a number of years and will continue to do so.
Very helpful and thorough. My query was complex and long-winded but Mercian was always ready to support with ongoing advice through a lengthy case.
