Customer Testimonials

A far cry from our previous accountants who did things manually and left me feeling anxious with many errors made. I’ve only been with them for a few weeks, but they’ve shown more attention, consideration and customer service than any of my previous accounts combined.

Chris Wade

Brilliant service. Always very helpful and friendly when I call. Nancy has been great getting our year end accounts sorted. Nice and local to us as well which helps!

Blue Rocket suggested I changed the way I was getting paid as a director. This saved me over £10,000 which I was then able to put back into the business.
