What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Journeaux Tax & Accounts has cultivated a loyal clientele in Plymouth, with several reviewers describing relationships spanning two or three decades. Paul Journeaux is named frequently as the practice's driving force, valued for his extensive experience and readiness to offer advice suited to individual circumstances. A recurring point is the team's willingness to tackle complex cases: one client recounts how, after a previous accountant left records in disarray, the firm spent time working through two years of accounts and corrected them without complete information.

Payroll for new staff and figures for new projects are also mentioned as handled alongside routine tax and accounts work. Communication features often in feedback, with clients describing clear, responsive and supportive contact and noting that queries of any size are welcomed. The friendliness of Paul and his colleagues comes up repeatedly, as does a sense that requests are met without fuss. Competitive pricing is noted by at least one reviewer, and work is described as completed promptly. Tax advice is singled out as an area of particular strength, complemented by patience when records are incomplete.

I honestly feel that working with Paul Journeaux has been one of the best things that has happened to my business. I had quite a difficult experience with my previous accounting company, so finding Paul was a huge relief. I only wish he had been with me from the very beginning. Paul is someone I completely trust. His communication is excellent, always clear, responsive, and supportive. He is highly professional and truly knows what he is doing, which gives me great confidence and peace of mind. On top of that, he is a genuinely wonderful person to work with. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Unprofessional, irresponsible and improper behaviour. I run a small, limited company and Paul has been my accountant for a couple of years. I asked Paul to help me understand the taxation of my limited companies so I could understand my tax bill. He explained it in a jargon laden unclear way that I found difficult as someone who is also not an accountant to understand. I asked him on more than one occasion to explain as it was still unclear. He became demonstrably irritated and did not hide his exasperation and frustration which I found quite inappropriate and rude. He then wrote to me and said because of my “attitude” to him and his staff that he was resigning as my accountant. He decided NOT to phone me or email me notice of resignation despite all our communication being by email or telephone. He sent the letter to my registered address which I visit sporadically so was totally unaware of the resignation. Even if I had seen the letter, he only gave me 20 working days in which to a) find another accountant b) to gather all the information from him c) to communicate with HMRC to gain their authorisation codes and d) for the new accountant to spend not an inconsiderable amount of time preparing, checking and submitting company accounts. I have repeatedly asked him what he means by my “attitude” and has never once explained it. Due to his actions I have been fined by HMRC and have had notice from Companies House that my company is to be stuck off and dissolved! This has resulted in my credit with a parts supplier being cancelled and losing business. He has cost me a lot of lost time, stress and money the very OPPOSITE of what an accountant should be! Avoid this accountant at all costs.

I have been with journeaux tax accounts for about a year now. when i join them i had a really bad accountant that messed up my book but with a bit of time they went through the last 2 years of my accounts and fixed them even though the last accountant did not pass them any imformation so it was all done blindly from not much. They are a good price and very friendly.

Paul dealt with our HMRC issue, quickly and efficiently. He explained the steps required to navigate the HMRC system ensuring we understand what’s happening now, and what will happen going forward. We’d recommend Paul’s services, one because he knows his stuff and two because he’s a gentleman.

Paul has been my accountant for over 30 odd years. He is an excellent accountant and really knows his stuff. Nothing is too much trouble and he completes any work in a timely manner. He is approachable and a great guy. I highly recommend Paul and his team.

Paul has been our accountant for many years supporting a range of business structures including sole traders, partnerships and limited companies. His skills and experience have been incredibly valuable and I'm not sure what we would do without Paul and his team! I would recommend Journeaux Tax & Accounts to anyone looking for an accountant
