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. -
My experience with mercian accountancy has always been positive.
I'm useless with taxes and can find it overwhelming when it's that time of year.
I have been with mercian for over 5 years and very happy with the team.
They are all very patient and understanding with my needs and will often … More phone me to explain things in layman's terms . Often having to repeat themselves each year.
Thank you to Jake in particular for all your time, I know I must be frustrating.
I'm very appreciative.
