Reviewers repeatedly name Wajid as knowledgeable, responsive and reassuring, with several small business owners describing him getting disorganised paperwork back on track after issues with previous accountants.

One reviewer described a frustrating experience with delayed acknowledgement of submitted documents, though this appears to be an isolated case rather than a pattern across the reviews.

Absolutely shocking customer service. They seem to be unable to even sent a email back to acknowledge they have received documents. They will then contact a MONTH later to argue that there are statements missing which clearly aren’t. ZERO STARS !!! Avoid at all costs they are cowboys. There are much better accounts out there.
We highly recommend Acumen Accounting services , very knowledgeable and patient . Came here from a recommendation from a friend and had the pleasure to meet in person the owner & staff all very capable and professional on all levels. When it comes to paperwork running a business I simply don't have the time and I soon became overwhelmed . Acumen helped me get back got me back on top of things and gave helpful advice going forward. Can't recommend these guys enough.
