Testimonials

“When opening my business I didn’t really know where to start, it was somewhat unknown territory for me. I contacted Sean at Stephens Accountants for a face-to-face discussion of what needed to be done.”

“Sean talked me through all my options I had and weighed up the pros and cons of each one in an understanding and helpful manner. The team then proceeded to set everything up for me and take the stress and hassle away so I could concentrate on my work.”

“Since then the team at Stephens has continued to deliver a reliable and trustworthy service leaving me knowing my accounts are in safe hands.”

“I would recommend Stephens Accountants to anybody wanting to focus more on their business and leave the professionals to what they continue to do best.”

“I have been a client of Sean’s for 11 years since I started in business. Sean knows his stuff, is very knowledgeable and he is very responsive, always answers the phone or calls me back the same day and there to give me advice when I need it.”

“He understands my business interests and always knows the best solutions to run my business effectively and save as much tax as is possible. Sean’s whole team of staff are always very helpful and the service I get is second to none.”

“I would highly recommend Stephens Accountants.”

“Stephens Accountants have supported JS Recruitment from the very beginning, tailoring services to meet our needs. We’ve benefited from the business start up advice provided and continue to use the accounts preparation services. We know Stephens Accountants to be professional, approachable and responsive. The team have always been happy to answer questions and are efficient in responding to our requests for support.”

“We enjoy an excellent working relationship and would not hesitate to recommend Stephens Accountants to others.”

“In the last couple of months I have moved from an accountant who I had for three years to Stephens Accountants. To say I wish I did this sooner is an understatement! The team at Stephens made the transition so easy and swiftly with no disruption to myself and business. They have been very quick to reply to the questions I have put to them and have provided me with some great advice and help.”

“As my business moves forward and grows it gives me confidence to know that the team at Stephens are there to support me and be part of this growth. Personally I highly recommend Stephens Accountants and am more than happy and willing to refer them to others.”

“A number of months ago, my business partner and I started to discuss whether we would move our bookkeeping requirements closer to home. However, in the past, we had always struggled to make this decision, mainly due to the worry of transferring all the necessary information and whether we would achieve our objectives by making such a move. We consulted with Sean, who soon lifted those worries by explaining what preparations would be made, how the move would be conducted and what benefits we would get moving forward.”

“He established my needs by listening to our objectives and asking appropriate questions, followed by sharing his excellent knowledge. The move was seamless, the benefits we gained are exactly what Sean had described. Our monthly management accounts are provided in a timely manner together with a monthly summary. Better still we have already received advice on a couple of money-saving topics. If you are thinking of or know anyone who are in the need for any type of bookkeeping or accounting then I can fully recommend Sean for a very personal and professional service.”

“Over the last 20 years I have enjoyed great success with some of my business ventures, taking businesses from start-ups to +5m TO businesses. But alas, I have experienced the other side of success and barely made it through the recession. My new marketing business was again a start-up, and I found that my accountant of 20 years showed little flexibility in his pricing, trying to maintain his fee level for a much-reduced size business. But even in this situation, and after nearly 20 years with my accountants, I feel certain that most businesses will understand the trepidation of changing accountants. After several discussions with Sean, we took the plunge and decided to move one of our businesses to Stephens Accountants. ”

“Sean and his team worked closely and very supportively with Joanne, our Accounts Director, to move accounts, in what appeared to be a very smooth and effortless transfer, which of course is essential. I am also delighted to say that moving my accounts to Stephens substantially reduced my annual fee. I can say, without hesitation, that I would strongly recommend Stephens Accountants to any small/medium business looking for a very personal and skilful service at extremely competitive rates. Thank you to all the team at Stephens, keep up the good work, we’re with you for the long term.”

“I was referred to Sean at Stephen’s Accountants when I opened my first business Aradia Global LTD in 2013. Sean and his team were especially helpful and professional. They offered much more help and advice than was warranted and kept fees to a minimum. I have since started a charity called Whinny Wise Horse Assisted Talking Therapies in 2018 and there is no doubt Sean will continue to be our accountant. He has a wealth of experience conducting charity accounting and again has promised to keep fees to a minimum. Sean has also been consulted and employed for my other sole trader enterprise business, where he has offered a multitude of wisdom and professional advice. Sean has a wealth of integrity, is exceptionally personable and is an outstanding professional in his field. Sean’s team carry the same ethos as he does, and I look forward to our continued work together, alongside recommending Stephen’s Accountant to anyone in need of accountancy, tax or business advice.”

“To free up more of our time, we upgraded our relationship with Stephens Accountants, so they now handle all our business’ accountancy functions. This process involved transferring our accounts from our existing software onto QuickBooks. Stephens Accountants handled all the process for us including providing training on the new software. We are now fully set up after a smooth transition process and look forward to using the time we have freed up to grow our business. We would highly recommend Stephens Accountants for your accountancy needs as they are extremely professional and deliver what they promise.”

“Been with Stephens Accounts for 14 years, always approachable and ready to help and answer questions. During the Covid crisis they have continually sent information and help through emails, keeping us up to date with the latest news. Readily available to contact via phone to answer any queries and have been a great help putting our minds at rest through all this uncertainty, dealing with issues with no charge and generally trying their utmost to get businesses through this crisis with minimal casualties as possible. Thank you for being there.

“I have been with Stephens Accountants for two years now, during which I have received an excellent service from Sean and his staff. I would thoroughly recommend them if you are a sole trader or limited company, a new or established company, you will not be disappointed. Never missed any dead lines in paying my corporation tax and VAT to HMRC. He responded to my phone call very quickly (even on Easter Friday), he made things clear and helped me with any questions I had. This is my second year of working with Sean and I value his expertise and organisational skills. Sean has been very quick in regards to update for Covid-19 and all support available. I always feel i am in safe hands.”

“During COV19 Stephens Accountants have been incredible. From day one they have issued regular updates and answered all my queries and concerns extremely quickly. This allowed me to make key decisions and plan my future effectively and it’s taken a lot of stress and worry out of the whole situation. In times like this, it’s been a god send to receive quick responses and answers to questions with someone you can trust in your corner.”

“We have recently moved to Stephens Accountants and it’s the best decision we could have made. Looking for a new accountant can be a little daunting but we were put at ease with their very approachable and friendly attitude. They have helped us and explained things we weren’t quite sure about when it came to our Year End. They were very knowledgeable about the accounts software that we use which made it so much easier. All in all, we’re happy.”

“I am so impressed with Stephen’s accountancy. They make it so simple. I simply plug in the sales and purchases invoices and cash receipts, send across a backup and Stephen’s do the rest. All the bank reconciliation and management accounts. And generally on the same day. Since using their services I always feel up to date and have the confidence to take managerial decisions in the running of the business. They are knowledgeable, informative and very nice people.”

“Stephens Accountants Limited are a helpful, friendly, approachable and professional company. They speak in terms that I understand, any questions or queries that I may have are promptly and efficiently answered, I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.”

“I’ve been using Stephens Accountants for the past year since my last accountant let me down, and I’ve been very impressed with the service I’ve received. The company’s professionalism and understanding was impressive from the start. Stephens have been very proactive in dealing with any issues arrising during my time with them. Highly recommended.”

“Accountancy speak into understandable language. The team is a pleasure to work with. Can I just thank you and your team for looking after the accounting side of the business for 11 years, you have made it much easier to run my business and allow me to focus on what I do best.”

“We are very happy with the service received from Stephens Accountants. The promptness of response and helpfulness has been great in our first year of trading.”

“Castle Security & Electrical Limited was formally registered after a consultation with Stephens Accountants. Sean also encouraged us to try Sage Online Accounting Software, which Stephens’ staff helped us set up. We have now operated the software for 12 months with a little help from Stephens along the way. The program is live, and cloud based allowing Sean and his staff access to view and amend as necessary to keep us on the right track.”

“Stephens Accountants have also produced our monthly PAYE and quarterly VAT returns contacting us a month before the VAT payment is due to remind us. Twelve months in and a year end upon us we are glad we listened and took Sean’s advice. To this end we would not hesitate to recommend Stephens Accountants to anyone in business however small or large, but especially to the small setting out on their business journey.”

“Stephens Accountants have been our accountant since we first established in business. In this time Sean & his staff take care of all of our accountancy needs leaving us to take care of our business. I can also rest knowing that our business is in safe hands & if we need to that Sean & his team are there to answer any Tax/financial or business related questions we may have. We have used various accountants for other projects in the past & find that none of them come close to personal, professional service that Stephens Accountants provide. We are proud to call Stephens Accountants our accountants & look forward to doing many years of business with them.”
