We have been with Abbeygate Accountancy for over a year now and in that time have closed a business, opened a new one and had some serious health issues and I have to say they have been a real pleasure to work with. Jess, Seinthini and all the team are always on hand to help with any questions and give nice clear guidance on using the xero software. A truly approachable, stress free, friendly, professional company to work with! More...

Having worked with Abbeygate for over a year, and through several significant changes during that time, including redundancies, a move to new payroll software and systems, multiple HR changes, year-end processes, VAT returns, and P11Ds, I feel confident saying we’ve really tested the full scope of their support. Hand on heart, they could not be more accommodating, helpful, or understanding. Whether you’re a small business or a larger organisation, they are an excellent choice for all accounting needs, and we’re genuinely glad we made the move to them.We work regularly with Harvee and Tom, as well as Kendall and Jess, and the whole team consistently goes above and beyond while maintaining a high level of professionalism and politeness, especially valuable when you’re still learning the ropes yourself.

My company has recently started working Abbeygate and I have been really impressed with their work. We merged four businesses and Andy and his team provided excellent support with payroll and Xero in helping us to bring everything together. In particular, Kendall was really supportive with the payroll and Harvee helped us move one part of the business move over from Sage to Xero and is helping to us optimise the way we work with Xero too. Based on my experience to date, I'm looking forward to work more with Abbeygate in 2026. More...

5 Stars – Outstanding Service from Abbeygate Accountancy I’ve had a fantastic experience with Abbeygate Accountancy in Bury St Edmunds. Andy and the team are incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. From our very first meeting, Andy took the time to understand my business and provided clear, tailored advice that has really helped me feel confident about my finances. What stands out most is Andy’s approachable manner and his willingness to explain things in a way that’s easy to understand. He’s always quick to respond to any queries and offers practical solutions that make a real difference. If you’re looking for an accountant who genuinely cares and goes the extra mile, I can’t recommend Andy and Abbeygate Accountancy highly enough. A top-notch local firm that truly delivers. More...

We have been with Abbeygate Accountancy for two years. Initially we only wanted to migrate our accountancy software from the dated Sage to Xero. But we soon realised what an exceptional company these guys were and were blown away by their attention to detail and efficiency - so they VERY quickly became our new accountants. We feel like they are so much more than just our accountants, they build relationships and actually care about the service they offer. They offer a personal, bespoke service and nothing is ever too much. Everything is explained and tasks are carried out with speed and accuracy. If you’re looking for a change, then these are your guys! You honestly will not be disappointed. A special shout out to Tom - we really appreciate all of the help and support you have given us over the two years. You have been incredible! More...

For anyone who is on the fence hopefully this review will convince you to use the amazing services at abbeygate accountancy. Starting a business I knew there were things I was going to be good at and do with ease and things that could potentially overwhelm me, the biggest one being the backend, the accounts and much of the "set up" of my first business. Tom F and the team at abbeygate have been incredible. They've been patient, helpful, informative and have really taken the time to help guide me through my first 6 months and check in with how I'm getting on with a genuine enthusiasm and encouragement that gives me continued confidence and I cannot thank them enough for it. It's taken away much of the anxiety from accounts side and allowed me focus on what I'm good at and grow my first business to be a success. Sean More...

There was always a gap in my business which I didn't think a "business coach" could fill. I needed more then just advice, I needed someone by my side to help implement things as well as provide guidance. ... I found the Abbeygate MD/FD service which ticked every box. When I first engaged with Abbeygate MD/FD I didn't realise I had a sh*t storm on the horizon. Abbeygate MD/FD helped me navigate through this and come out the other-side with a robust and profitable business. It can be lonely and overwhelming being a sole director of a company but with these guys onside I knew I couldn't go wrong. More...
