Very professional, punctual, and customer oriented. My previous accountant was not very flexible and was overcharging me. I've been working with London Accountants for one financial period and they provide me with everything I was missing. I appreciate their support in managing my company accounts, in particular, their professional knowledge, ability to cope with the a lot of work in a short time period as well as the fact they kept agreed fees despite slightly different expectations.
