M.S.
I needed a cost-effective way of providing accurate financial accounts to the members of our society. This is a literary society of which I am the Treasurer. It was a requirement of our constitution that accounts were presented every two years but our funds are limited. I approached John Skillman and was happy with his terms. He has provided us with this service now on three occasions and I have been more than happy with it. A bonus is that he is always willing to give advice about our finances and how they should be presented. I would recommend him to any small society, like ours. More...

Having John as my accountant for the last 10 years has made my life so much easier. I now dedicate my time to working with my clients and not having to worry about my finances. He is helpful, easy to talk to, knowledgeable and thorough. He is also available to talk things through in a way that I can understand. In addition, by showing me the allowable expenses John has also reduced my tax bill. More...

Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
You could end up paying too much tax because you’ve missed allowable expenses. Or you risk fines and penalties from the HMRC because you’ve missed taxable income. Or you have to pay higher accountancy fees for the accountant to sort it out. One of the first things to do is reconcile your bank accounts every month.
