Although the initial interaction was not great, the company did reach out to me and went to great lengths to make sure I had a great experience with them. They proved to be customer obsessed and to really care about their feedback. Really happy with their professionalism and the growth mindset demonstrated

Working with PAW and Chris Paterson for my limited company has been very refreshing. They have been responsive, supportive and most of all pro-active. This leaves me to get on with my own business without having to worry about the accountancy, tax or VAT transactions. Highly recommended

I've worked with Gary and the PAW Consulting team for about 6months since starting my business. They've helped me learn online accounting whilst supporting with formal account preparation and answering all my noddy questions. Great team and I highly recommend them for anyone starting up.

PAW Consulting Ltd have proven to be very professional and thorough in their work with us - a very positive and enlightening experience so far, which I hope will continue long into the future.
Dealing with our accounts this year has been both a relief and a breath of fresh air thanks to PAW Consulting and Chris, in particular, who has been extremely patient and understanding!
I'm almost at a stage where I could get excited about accounts (well....almost!).
No hesitation in recommending their services at this time.

My firm has had a very professional experience with Paw consulting and especially Mr Gary Hamilton. There are many accounting firms out there which one could run to; but very few where the service quality is stellar and responsive to the needs of clients. Mr Gary Hamilton has been very helpful in bringing my company and I, up to speed with the way our accounts should be run, giving us advice and running our accounts efficiently. Advice is something which comes naturally to him and it has been a great pleasure working him. I would highly recommend Mr Gary Hamilton to any consultant especially consultants

I have been working with Gary for 4 months now and was introduced through a personal recommendation.
From the outset, a big effort was made by Gary to understand my personal circumstances so he could provide the best possible advice and service. I have several properties and I have my own Ltd company.
Gary has explained the processes throughout and I am starting to understand some aspects of accountancy. As a result my book keeping has become more efficient and going forward this will take less of my time and reduce the need of a book keeper.
PAW consulting as a company has excellent systems
