Testimonials
Some of our clients have written in over the years with these kind words:
”Excellent accountancy firm, I don’t know where the business would be without them . They’ve helped to streamline all financial management saving time in order for me to help shape and develop the business more effectively. Always available and has given advice you can depend on. They have also helped build my business network by offering links to other excellent financial service providers such as development loans and commercial brokers.”

“Hi Brendan, I would just like to thank you for all your help over the past 2 years. You have gone above and beyond your job description. You have helped us in more ways that you know, even mental health when there was nowhere to turn for advice during covid you always went the extra mile to assist in any matter, even helping to raise funds for the nursery with your kind donation.
Always polite and approachable and simplify things so we can understand the terminology and a credit to James Scott. We would recommend you highly to other services who seek accountants.
The team at James Scott are always knowledgeable and helpful when dealing with them, nothing is too much trouble. So once again a warm hearted thankyou for all your service over the years, long may it continue.
On behalf of the directors of Hollin Nursery CIC, Thanks.”

“I just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you.
You have saved me a huge amount of time. The way that I was trying to reconcile the paypal payments from Shopify was so laborious and time consuming. Thank you for talking me through a few ideas, I have been through months worth of reconciliation in just an hour or two.
I can’t thank you enough for offering up the help and taking the time to discuss options. You’re a god send.”

“Matthew has provided accountancy and business advice to Smarter Technologies for since 2011. He is very approachable, willing to discuss new business ideas with an open mind and offers advice in a way that is easy for a non-accountant to understand.”

“Very good service, always feels personal however large we or James Scott grow, having Katie on hand in the absence of Brendan is a big help & Katie is an amazing asset to your company who provides the most help throughout the year even when sometimes I have later discovered she wasn’t actually officially working so I would say every company needs a Katie.
Brendan always makes us feel welcomed and I feel protected conducting business knowing James Scott are in the background especially in what for me personally has been the most challenging year in my life. Matthew, only met him once but I’m sure he’s a very nice chap.
Payroll Sorted seems to be running seamlessly now so that’s a headache that has now become an easy job & I’m hoping that the introduction of Modulr keeps that going in that direction as I enter my last page at Howard’s before starting exit strategy because it makes my absence seamless too.
I was an old dog resistant to new tricks but with the addition of Xero I can be confident that along with Katie I can be doing my job without stress.
And finally, Helen I’ve not had much to do with you but you seem thorough if I’m late with payment and every company needs a Helen to keep the turnover turning.“
