Barry, Greg and the rest of the time have provided excellence service. I was new to operating as a limited company, and they’ve made the first year a seamless and efficient experience. Would highly recommend Focus Accountancy.

Barry, Greg, and Maria supported me in submitting a CGT return that had become incredibly stressful and confusing. They sorted everything out over the course of 1 phone call and a couple of emails. Thanks again and I'd highly recommend them for a friendly, professional, and efficient team!

A very easy to use accountants. Always available when I need them, but not overbearing like some other. Been a customer for 2 years now for 2 businesses, and I'm very happy. Often recommend them to other business owners I know.

Barry and his team went to a lot of trouble on my behalf to help me get a self- assessed tax overpayment reimbursed. I tried many times to contact HMRC but could not get through. Focus Accountancy Limited took on the task and the repayment arrived ahead of time. Thank you! Matt W.
