What they say
For years I feared my accounts and resented my accountant. Then Martin came along and somehow made it fun (really).
Fast, efficient and friendly service. Accurate and trustworthy. Really impressed and we hope to keep working with Gold Stag for years to come.
Martin is friendly, efficient and very reasonable. He always comes back to my questions quickly and I have recommended him to loads of people!
As a brand new business owner with very little experience of setting up and running a company, Martin guided me through the process, took care of all the technicalities, and got my company up and running. I barely had to lift a finger. He was recommended to me by another accountant, and I've recommended him to several businesses and will continue to do so. I'm very glad I found Gold Stag Accounts.
