The best accountants we've ever used! Efficient, well-informed, excellent communication and great at tax saving hints and tips. The text/email reminders to submit VAT and tax payments are amazing - we never miss a deadline! I can't recommend RJF Accountants highly enough!

Working with Rob takes the stress out of my accounts so that I can focus on the job at hand without tying myself in knots. I've recently become VAT registered and he has made me feel so much more relaxed about the process, with clear conversations and great tools to get the job done.

RJF took over the management of my company's accounts in April 2023 and I can't praise Rob highly enough! The collation of my accounts for tax purposes was straightforward and the submissions process was managed perfectly, with payment amounts and due dates provided in a separate, easy to read document. I'm delighted to be working with Rob and the team!
Been with RJF for a short time and they have already helped with cashflow and overall financial management
We moved our financial management and reporting to RJF Accountants 12 months ago, we needed more of an outsourced Finance Director to give us deeper knowledge and guidance both locally and internationally. Rob and his team at RJF are experts in their field and take the time to genuinely understand the businesses they support and the people within them.I highly recommend RJF Accountancy to businesses that need more than just a basic accountancy service, we have been entirely satisfied from day one and look forward to a continued relationship with Rob and his team.
Thanks to Rob and the team at RJF in getting our first accounts done and filed on time. We are extremely busy and didn't have the time to have everything filed and ready. They pulled out all the stops. Great supportThanks also to Rob for his advice and support especially in relation to various taxation scenarios, EIS and SEISS, other options and opportunities and regulations. Much appreciated.
I switched to RJF because I needed an accountant who could also offer advice and insight into startup finance and tax related queries, not just deal with the compliance side. I'm extremely pleased I made the move because Rob and his team have been fantastic, always responsive and helpful. It's clear Rob has a lot of experience and is passionate about startup finance and entrepreneurship. I've already referred another business owner to him and am happy to recommend RJF.
Rob and his team are professional, courteous and always friendly. Rob will make the time to reply to all my ramblings - whatever time of day! He's knows how to advise businesses on their accounting needs. I previously referred clients to Rob, but became one myself when I set up alone, and I can now see why they all raved about RJF.
