These wasn't our first accountants so we do have others to compare against and I must say Stopfords are excellent accountants. They are always available to help with any queries and go above and beyond to make you feel at ease with your financials. We have annual meetings with Rebecca Mitchell which I look forward to as she explains everything in detail if required. I do also prefer how she prints the information out so you can see it clearly and have a copy yourself if required. Would and do highly recommend Stopfords to anyone thats looking for an accountancy service or even just excellent reliable advice.
