“I have used Golding Accountancy for completing my property tax each year.”
I have used Golding Accountancy for several years now to sort out my property tax. Being completely ignorant in this area I have always relied on them to help me through this minefield and explain things along the way. They always take time to answer my questions and I have been more than happy with their service over the years. Particular thanks to Anthony Burrell for his patience!
Christine Petherick
“Best accountants by far”
Ian, Anthony and the rest of the team at Golding are helpful, professional and friendly. The team have completed my self assessment each year swiftly and efficiently without a hitch, they are always on hand to answer questions and provide advice regarding my accounts. Golding has also provided help and assistance when I re-mortgaged (twice) when my mortgage advisor asked me for information I didn’t even understand. Golding Accountancy go the extra mile and I would recommend them 100% for anyone looking for an accountancy firm.
