I having been using Robert Carpenters accountant services since starting my small doggy holiday business nearly 5 years ago and wouldn’t use anyone else.
I’ve only met him once and he’s very friendly, easy to talk to and goes out of his way to chat and explains everything well.
A reasonably priced and very efficient service. I can highly recommended Top Choice Accountants.

I was looking for an accountant on very late notice in December and Rob and the team absolutely nailed the time deadline for January with an invaluable service, extremely helpful and knowledgable as well.

Absolutely horrendous, stay clear, very unprofessional! Communications is next to none! Very unorganised! If you want to use a professional accountancy company stay clear of this company

Top Choice Accountants helped with much advise and professional knowledge when I started a small consultancy business years ago. They were of great help during the process and have completed my tax returns without complication and in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend them to anyone starting a new business venture.

Have worked with Rob for several years and known him for 4. The work ethic that Rob and the team implement to ensure everything is complete to the highest standard, is amazing, and always has been from the very start.
Most importantly the accounting expertise is always present, up to date, and with the times - not old fashioned, and with MTD and new regulations changing all the time, this is definitely a key focus that many firms do not perfect. Aside from usual accounting services, Rob and the team have years of business experience and business planning is one of their many expertises, the ability to mold themselves into any business and really grasp a feel for a plan, but also well aligned with the owner's characteristics and potential - to make it more than attainable. Whilst being coached along the way.
Could not recommend enough.

After getting a few quotes Rob come out not only the best on price but also the best professionalism. From the 1st contact with Rob he gave a clear quote and also very professional advice and guidance on my best routes forward.
I have used Rob to re write my business plan and do my cash flow forecast and as soon as i instructed Rob he got on it straight away and the outcome was fantastic. He delivered this before the quoted time. Rob and his team will be doing all my accounts moving forward. I would highly recommend Rob he is fast and professional compared to some of the people i have come across. Once again Rob thank you for all your help so far and look forward to working with you from now on.
Regards

What kind of accounting services do you provide?
We support over 60 Sole Traders and Partnerships in Devon, Somerset and Cornwall. We cover an area over 50 miles radius from Oak Tree House, South Molton Street in Chulmleigh, mid Devon.
To see the client in their own environment and save them time and money, we always visit between one and six times a year, normally depending if the the client is registered for quarterly VAT or requires quarterly Management accounts. We provide Business plans to simulate the next year profit and to highlight important areas such as staff training required, threats from competition and planned Capital Expenditure, to name just three areas.
With over 32 years experience in the Accounting and Taxation industry, Top Choice Accountants are simply the best choice in the South West.
Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
We always work alongside our clients and do not delegate work to junior bookkeepers. This way you will always be dealing with a suitably qualified Accountant. There is little which we haven't seen in Accounting and Taxation in the last three decades. We ensure that we stay up to date with all the latest legislation and advise you accordingly. Whilst there always has to be 'a line' between Accountant and client, we form very special lasting business relationships. Many clients stay with us for over 10 years and we receive multiple client recommendations.
What do you love most about your job?
Each day is never the same and can change as soon as 9 am in the morning. For instance, a client may need to raise extra finance for business expansion. This involves coming out to see the client, discussing plans, taking notes and going back to the office to produce the Business Plan, including a cash flow forecast.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Following working in industry for four different companies in Manufacturing and Retail, the economic situation was right for self-employment. Many clients needed accounts and tax advice one day a week or per month for instance. Within very little time, the practice had the first 10 clients and has continued to grow through the years.
Why should our clients choose you?
In Accounting, you need the best timely produced work not only for the authorities such as HMRC, National Insurance , Banks and other finance organisations but also to run your business from a position of knowledge. This support from Top Choice Accountants enables the proprietors to concentrate on weekly operational matters whilst in the safe hands of a firm which is highly recommended.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Since March 2020, the method of delivery of our services has needed to change. We have proved since this time that the model can work via telephone calls, email contact, and post.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
By operating as above, none of our clients have reported any COVID symptoms. Clients have been happy without receiving vists as they are fully supported by phone and email.
