Meet the team

We are the friendly face of accounting. Our founding values are centered around ease-of-use and accessibility in accounting, so that we can help businesses grow. Simplicity was what was missing from Accountancy, a web of jargon, confusion and frustration.

We do things differently here. Transparency is vital for us, that’s why we want you to meet us. Our positive, problem solving approach means each member of our team is valued and involved in the process of accounting.

    When your accountant becomes one of the most valuable people in your business, you know you've found the right one! David Rudd from Steven Burton & Co Ltd has been my Accountant for many years. He goes far beyond the traditional role of an accountant. Rather than offering generic advice, he takes the time to truly understand my business and provides guidance that's relevant, practical, and tailored to my situation. His input has been instrumental in helping my business grow and succeed. Thank you to David and his team for everything you do for Moss HR!

    I would highly recommend Steven Burton & Co Ltd. David, Noah, Aidan and Ben were incredibly supportive and professional during a particularly challenging time for me. From the outset, they took the pressure off, guided me through every step of the process, and always made themselves available to answer questions and provide reassurance. Their dedication, expertise and genuine commitment to helping their clients really stood out. If you're looking for accountants who go the extra mile and truly care about achieving the best outcome for you, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Steven Burton & Co Ltd.

    I had never filled out a tax return or needed an accountant until very recently. Steven Burton & Co have been absolutely brilliant, helping me all the way, asking relevant questions and helping me to complete the process. I have dealt with Steven, Henry and their wonderful ‘office staff’, all of whom have always replied promptly and professionally but keeping the correspondence light and, at times humorous. It’s always a difficult decision about whether an accountant is needed financially but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company and feel that they are worth their weight in gold, I certainly shall continue to use them.

    We have recently moved our accounting to Steven Burton & Co. We are so pleased that we did. With support from the team we have moved from a compliance based last minute approach to filing to a planned and proactively managed approach. The increased visibility and data this is providing is allowing us to make better informed and timed decisions for our business. Thank you and we look forward to building on this early work over the coming year.
