Positive: Professionalism, Quality
We have been using Horsfield and Smith for our Annual Accounts for over 12 years and recently they have taken over our bookkeeping function, payroll and monthly management accounts. They are professional, approachable and experts in their field. We would highly recommend them for any financial business need.

We’ve been working with Horsfield & Smith for almost 3 years now and I’m delighted with the service and support they continue to provide. They’re always available to answer any questions I have and to provide guidance. During the last 12+ months they’ve helped me to navigate the financial challenges of COVID lockdown/s. Their friendly and supportive approach coupled with their financial expertise has been invaluable.
I would highly recommend Horsfield and Smith to anyone.

Horsfield and Smith have been our accountants since the inception of our business 4 years ago. Extremely happy with teh level and quality of service they provide, from payroll, VAT returns and corporation tax returns. They also help us with tax planning and advice us on where we can improve on generally. Onto of that they also help with our personal tax commitments. Wouldn't use anyone else.

I have been with this accountancy firm for a couple of years following on from 3 other accountancy firms. I can honestly say that they have provided a stress free way of managing my accounts at a very reasonable rate all inclusive at the end of the year. Compared to who I have used before I would have give them five stars but feel there is always room to become better more focused and efficient. I have been very happy with horsfield & smith and have recommended to others. I was paying much more and getting far less.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I initially set up a business two years ago and used quick books and at the looming date of tex returns came up I thought i best get the professionals in. I explained that I was a new business and that I needed a lot of guidence and clarity on when I would be billed and how much, and although their fees were up to 5 times more expensive they assured me that by paying more eveything would e automated and they would hold my hand so to speak through everything.
They have failed to tell me when I would be getting bills (initially informing me you get a tax bill at
