I should have done it years ago.”

Natasha fixes things, notices things and flag things up like allowances we aren’t making the most of. She’s been brilliant.”

Matt Keen

…the honest truth is that I wish I’d been there earlier, because I’m impressed.”

Colin Cookney

They made it easy to switch…It was very straightforward and painless.”

John Letchford

As an overall package, it’s excellent. It just takes away all the effort. For someone who’s got a small limited company like myself, the overall package I’m on, the Silver service means it’s all sorted out. It’s all so much easier – we can just get on with what we’re doing and they oversee the running of the company.”

Charles Perry

It takes very little time for me – maybe 10 minutes a week. The fact that they have an end-to-end service so they can manage any aspect of my account. They’re also responsive and they’re just generally nice people.”

Nabil Zawadi

They allow you to spend more time working and less time doing your accounts. I really, really hardly ever think about my accounts. That’s what’s so nice about it. I probably spend no more than 10-15 minutes per week, including doing my invoices. That’s key for me – that I don’t have to spend any time on my accounts. They also ensure I stay tax efficient, legal and they do the payroll.”

Darion Leigh

Working with them is brilliant. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

Andy Skelton

It’s Meades’ service and professional edge that keep me doing what I love doing both in and outside work.”

P Joslin, PJ Networking Services Ltd.

I have been a contractor for over 7 years now. As a qualified accountant myself, I was determined to save myself money by maintaining my own payroll, cashbook and producing my own annual accounts. It was a big mistake! I spent many evenings and weekends wrestling with the latest accounting standards and tax changes, a massive false economy. For a very reasonable, tax deductable fee, Meades & Co have relieved me of this burden and demonstrated in the process several tax efficiencies that I had been missing all along.”

N Kellett, Cost Analysis Ltd.

D Carragher, IT contractor

Louise and her colleagues have provided excellent knowledge and service for initial set up of my new LTD which was so beneficial to a novice to the contracting world like myself. The communications and instructions around submittal of information and dates for returns have been very clear with plenty of notice allowed. Updates provided as to the status of the process and actions for completion are also very helpful. With nothing but positive experiences so far I have absolute confidence in recommending Louise & Co to all colleagues and friends.”

A Enright, Southwell Consulting Ltd.

I’ve been contracting now for over 20 years and I’ve been a client of Louise for 4 years and I can honestly say that she beats all my previous accountants hands down in every respect, efficiency, attention to detail, response time and approachable and friendly. I could not recommend her more highly.”
