Email let down

Everything very good, apart from emails. Had them sent and not received them, had them sent and unable to access them, tried changing passwords and still no good.

Hi Steve, sorry you have had some issues with emails but unfortunately it is your email provider or computer. We use Outlook 365 and have all email and web traffic monitored by an outsourced IT data security company who has assured us that all is well with our servers. If you would like I am happy for then to take a look at your system, so we don’t keep getting these issues.

Professional and personal service

We have used Shires Accountants for over 7 years, covering our payroll, limitied accounts, tax returns and Vat. We can honestly say the help and support they have provided has been incredible. We have recommended them to three other companies who now also use Shires, and we will continue to recommend them to others.
Thank you David and Penny.

Company closure and Redundancy

I rang this morning regarding queries I had on final payments to staff in the event of company closure and was given clear instructions and advice on redundancy procedure. Shires have been managing our payroll for the last few years and have always been helpful and given me guidance when required.

We run a small family business and use Shires Accountants for all our accounts/payroll needs.
We find them to be efficient, accurate and they have great communication. They are highly qualified with excellent knowledge of all accountancy needs. The past year has been testing for us all and Shires have helped us deal with new issues and kept us in touch with any HMRC updates which we have found invaluable.
They are such a friendly team and we find that no issue is too small. They are a great company and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable company to look after their accounts. Brilliant service! :)

Excellent Services All Round

We have used Shires Accountants for a good few years now, and to be quite frank we would be lost without them. They are extremely efficient in every aspect. They ensure that everything is filed accurately and on time. Extremely helpful, and always available to talk to and help with any queries we have etc. Definitely contribute to the smooth running of our haulage/transport business. Would one hundred percent recommend to anybody looking for reliable and thorough accounting services.
