I found Griffin Chapman to be excellent accountants when founding my new business startup. Their advice when deciding on the most appropriate business structure and registering the company with Companies House, HMRC, etc. was invaluable.
They have been quick and efficient in assisting with running my business too, providing ongoing advice on financial forecasting, accounting software, management accounts and tax issues.
They are a pleasure to deal with and easy to speak with in person, on the phone and by email giving me peace of mind to get on with running my business. Very reasonable accountant
