I contacted Kim in November last year, she has helped me with some untidy accounting in my first year! She is patient, friendly, professional and has helped me enormously with my start up, I was clueless and she has taken so much stress away! Highly recommend!

I used McCarthy Browne to complete my self-assessment tax return this year, and I was very happy with the service they provided. As a new sole trader I was unaware of a few processes and Kimberley was extremely helpful regarding my queries, and gave me clarity on multiple stages of the submission. Furthermore, the service provided was very prompt. I would highly recommend using this organisation for all your bookkeeping needs.
