Don’t take our word for it ~ why not see what our clients are saying about us!
“As a long term customer of this wee business I would highly recommend for any of your bookkeeping needs. I have complete faith in everything they have done for me when my accounts were due to be checked and submitted. Cannot rate or praise highly enough.”
“Rachael had taken the stress out of keeping our accounts, you just forward everything to her and it’s taken care of. Very reasonable monthly payment package as well.”
“Recently found Rachael whilst researching and looking for a new Accountant to deal with my end of year tax return. From the very outset she has dealt with everything in a very professional manner sending me all the information I needed very quickly and keeping me informed along the way. I wanted someone reliable and knowledgeable who would keep me right. I am pleased to say that I basically hand all the paperwork over and left her to do the rest leaving me to get on with running my own business and taking the stress out of it all. She made the process seem easy and I will happily hand over to her again in the future.”
“I was introduced to Rachael through my eldest son’s partner. I was setting up another part to an existing company. It could not have happened at a better time. Rachael’s company now looks after all my invoicing including chasing up late payments. Nothing seems to be a problem to her and that makes my bookkeeping so much easier. Rachael also took over my tax for me and got me a very healthy tax rebate. I would recommend Rachael’s company to anyone without reservation. So glad I was introduced when I was.”
“I highly recommend Independent Bookkeeping, Rachael has been such a support and keeps me on track.”
