We moved to Golding from our previous account to get our accounts straight and in order as they we're completely out of whack. Ian and the team have done a superb job from the beginning and continue to do so and they're always at the end of the phone when we need any questions answered.

Thanks to everyone at Golding, your hard work is very much appreciated.

I would highly recommend Golding Accounting. Anthony has always been on hand to answer all my questions no matter how silly, advise me on what’s best and with a really fast turn around time. It’s nice to know your accounts/tax return is in safe and knowledgeable hands. I’ve used a few accountants in the past and have found Golding the best.

We were transferred by our old Account when Golding Accountantcy took over a number of years ago . It’s the best thing that happened. Ian and his team are very professional and very down to earth , always make you feel comfortable and explain things in layman’s terms ! I have dealt with Ian and Anthony and cannot speak highly enough of them . Highly recommended

I have used Golding Accountants since January 2017 for my Sole Trader accounts & Tax Returns. Initially with Ian Butler and subsequently with Anthony Burrell, both have been extremely professional in their approach.

If I have any queries they are easily accessed by email or more than happy to take time out of their hectic schedule to reassure me.

My Tax Returns come back to me extremely quick & easily understandable.

I am more than happy to endorse them both.
