I tried to do my own accounting. After 2 years, HMRC contacted me demanding a large sum of unpaid taxes. The deadline was days away, and I was due to go out of the country. This was entirely my fault, because I hadn't done my self-assessment very well and it took 2 years to come to light. I am sure many fine people work at HMRC, but I did not enjoy the experience of getting their letter. I contacted Square, in a bit of a flap, and Helen picked up my case. Helen was excellent. Very professional and calming. Due to the short notice, I paid their higher rate, but it was very much worth it, as Helen made sense of my previous submissions, corrected them and sent them off within 2 days. My tax bill is now correct, and significantly less. She prioritised me, as promised, and the whole experience made me feel much better, and not worried about any more problems with HMRC. My account with them is settled. Please use this as a cautionary tale - It really is not worth trying to do tax assessments alone, the professional services of Square are a sound investment. I have learned by lesson and signed up with Square for all my future tax requirements.
Helen and her team @Square Accounting are a delight! Helen is knowledgeable, personable and gets the job done! I have been fortunate enough to submit my HMRC Self Assement tax returns for the past 3years with Helen's support and would highly recommend Square Accounting. Helen listens and understands my business whilst remaining supportive and attentive regardless of the time of year! I like that personal aspect. Also the fee structure is competively priced and fair, a rare find in this day of everything costing more! Thank you Helen!
The team are absolutely amazing. The support that they have given me over the years is beyond my expectations. Wouldn’t ever go anywhere else and highly recommend them to anyone that needs support. If I could do 10 stars, I would do 11.
I never thought I’d say this, but the team at Square accounting has made me enjoy looking at numbers… And Im the kind of person that breaks into a sweat when splitting a dinner bill four ways .😅 Helen and the team are great to work with and explain everything in plain English very patiently (might I add). What really matters aside from the friendly service is that I’m actually able to understand where my businesses money is going and how to become more efficient. For the first time in a while I feel like I’m driving my business forward rather than desperately clinging onto the roof rack. Highly recommend! Thank you Helen & all the team 🤝
I called this firm last Tuesday, explained exactly what I needed, and was told the manager was away until Thursday — but that someone would definitely call me back by the end of the week. It’s now Monday lunchtime, and I’ve heard absolutely nothing. If this is how they treat new business, I dread to think how they handle actual clients. I was looking for an accountant I could rely on — not one that makes empty promises and wastes my time. Poor communication, zero follow-up, and a complete lack of professionalism. If they can’t even manage a simple call back, I wouldn’t trust them with anything as important as a VAT return.
