Anthony Burrell and all the lovely staff at Golding Chartered Certified Accountants have been extremely professional and helpful, nothing is to much trouble and when they say they are going to do something, they do! Awesome Company... Thank you
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.#TeamGolding

Once you see how we roll, you may be ready to delegate more.

Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)
1. Does hiring a virtual finance department make sense for my small business?
Yes, for a small business like yours, hiring an accountancy practice that can virtually handle all your accounting and tax-related tasks makes a lot of sense. First off, it’s cost-effective. We understand that as a small business, your budget may be tight. When you need the expertise of skilled accountants but can’t afford to hire them full-time, outsourcing becomes a smart move. This is where the benefits of virtual accounting services really shine, making a significant difference to your business.
2. What sets a virtual finance department apart from a conventional accountant?
A virtual finance department, which in our case is the entire practice, operates remotely, using digital tools and software to manage and communicate accounting information. This contrasts with the traditional approach of conventional in-house accountants. The remote model offers greater flexibility and, often, more scalable services that help serve businesses regardless of geographic location.
3. Can your virtual finance department assist with tax planning and filing?
Yes, Golding Accountancy can help with tax planning and filing! We use digital tools and software to ensure accurate tax calculations and compliance with current tax laws. Our team can assist you in optimising your tax position through strategic planning and identifying potential tax savings. We can also help manage your tax liabilities and prepare and file tax returns on your behalf.
4. How do I choose the right virtual finance department for delegating work?
Choosing the right virtual finance department involves considering several factors, which include the accountancy practice’s experience in your industry, the range of services offered, and their technology stack. Check their client testimonials. A good fit will be a practice that understands your business goals, offers sound accounting and tax advice, and communicates effectively.

“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.
