  We moved accountants to specifically follow David a number of years ago and have completely changed the running of our business for the better, through planning ahead we have managed to change our circumstances with an over drawn loan account and corporation and tax bills outstanding to a strategically run method of being able to clear the over drawn loan account and balance our other tax liabilities with advice and support from David
We continue to be supported and take advice from his expert knowledge and guidance going forward and would highly recommend the Steven Burton team for your Accountancy needs.

  A truly fantastic accountants.  Unlike any other accountants we have had in the past.  They are 100 percent on the ball, helpful with fantastic advice.  Not just sound accountancy advice but advising the business as a whole in various areas.  Strategic quarterly reviews to really delve into the business to make sure profit margins are where they should be, and if they aren’t, they’ll look into improvements that can be made.  Nothing is too much and the phone lines are always open for advice.  Unlike most accountants their focus isn’t just on completing your annual accounts and not seeing you again for another year.  I cannot praise the team enough for all the hard work they put in! They really have shifted our focus onto the aspects of the business that we were perhaps neglecting!
