Thank you. I’m happy to leave an honest review based on my experience. Once we’ve spoken and I’ve received the guidance, I’ll be glad to leave a genuine review.
I had a discovery call with Buhir at Total Books Cardiff and had a great experience. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the services and pricing in a clear and straightforward way. What impressed me most was that he went the extra mile by sharing practical tips and advice on how we could grow our business, rather than just focusing on the services he offers. His honest, friendly, and supportive approach made the call extremely valuable. Thank you, Buhir, for your time and guidance!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Buhir at Total Books, Cardiff, who guided and shared his vast knowledge as to how to fast track my career into accountancy. It was productive, engaging and insightful with practical steps to implement from the moment our online meeting concluded, which was hugely convenient. Total Book's support goes beyond the 30 minute meeting, and I'm grateful to have their help at all times.
Buhir and the team at Total Books have been excellent. Genuinely knowledgeable on the technical side of limited company accounts — clear advice, no jargon, and they spot things a generalist accountant would miss. Highly recommended.
Total book accountants completed some important work for me. They were transparent and honest throughout the process. Would highly recommend
I had a 15 minute discovery call with Buhir at Total Books Cardiff and was most impressed. He was knowledgeable and open, informing me of the pricing structures for the services I was enquiring about but also providing valuable advice on simpler things I could look into myself. I really appreciated his friendly and helpful attitude. Thank you Buhir.
