The firm offers bookkeeping, self assessment tax returns, partnership accounts, VAT returns and accounting software setup.

It has successfully appealed HMRC penalties for clients and sponsored The Devon Clinic Three Peaks Challenge. It works with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, FreeAgent and bespoke accounting systems. No onboarding fees are charged, and no extra charges are made for AML checks. WhatsApp support is available, and an initial in-person coffee consultation, Google Meet or Zoom meeting is offered at no extra cost.

Tax returns for sole traders, small companies and landlords run through the accounts handled by this Plymouth firm, whose named staff, Robyn and Kane, appear in nearly every account of the service. Their manner is repeatedly described as friendly, patient and easy to approach, with expertise that clients find reassuring rather than intimidating. Self assessment completed for the first time is a recurring example, and one landlord with a single buy-to-let notes that the attention given does not depend on the size of the account.

Several reviewers mention how readily questions are answered, both during the work and afterwards, and how matters are explained without jargon. Tidying up records that had become disorganised, including after an unsuccessful attempt with accounting software, is another theme, with the process reported as efficient and free of stress. Accuracy and compliance are attributed to careful checking and a proactive attitude, and some clients value the insights that follow. Onboarding from an initial enquiry is described as smooth, and the lasting impression is of dependable help with ongoing bookkeeping and tax advice.
