We have always had a fantastic service from Simon and all the team at McGills, and now Monahans. Having used them for our family business in Cirencester for many years, we wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. We consistently found them to be friendly, approachable and thorough in all the work they did for us. We always knew that there was someone at the end of the telephone who could advise and assure us with any query we may have had. We feel sure all their clients will have shared the same experience. Many thanks! More...

Lovely to deal with a company (and this is a huge cliché!) that while being large, is also small enough to have such a personal touch. Sharla and her team are always on hand to help and never leave you feeling you cant have communication even at the most ridiculous times and with the most bizarre of questions. Its a genuine pleasure to work with a team that make you feel they want to help. Sharla is funny, engaging and knowledgeable and is also modest enough to know when she cant help and hands you over to another wizard who can! Thank you so much!! More...

Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
A great business coach will support you to reach your full potential and whilst they cannot ultimately make decisions for you, they can guide you through your options with experience and expertise.
Good advice on the management of debts can offer a business the opportunity to thrive once again. Without specialist advice Company owners can face more difficulties. The earlier you speak to a professional, the more chance you have of creating options for your business.
A great Accountant is instrumental in ensuring you know how your business is performing and allows you the opportunity to address any potential pitfalls before they become more serious.
What do you love most about your job?
We love working with entrepreneurs and seeing businesses grow and succeed.
Where businesses are in financial difficulty and the business owner needs or wants to close down, whilst this is the hardest aspect of our roles, once the pressure and worry is taken away from business owners we enjoy working with them to start again or to pursue other opportunities.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We love what we do and we love business. We are married and have 3 girls, so Gareth is outnumbered in our house! Working a standard 9-5 doesn't suit us, sometimes we start at 5 am or work late into the evening. Whatever is best for our clients and our family. This flexibility allows us to go the extra mile, we do not have to tick boxes like a large organisation. We can tailor our advice and support to exactly what you and your business needs.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because we care, it is the driving force behind what we offer. We are a family run business and we are both ethical and professional. Stephanie has a degree in Business and teaches Business Studies in Colleges, whilst Gareth is an Insolvency Practitioner (IP), the very highest form of insolvency specialist and is licensed and authorised to act in relation to an insolvent individual, partnership or company.
Plus we enjoy meeting new people and we are always happy to have a conversation so that we can get to know each other before committing to working together. Getting the right support is crucial in allowing your business to succeed.
