Cound & Co LLP

I wouldn't recommend Cound & Co if you're new to business and are looking for an accountant to tell you right from wrong.
When starting my business, I asked from the start to be given advice on all thing tax related; when and at what point should I be giving the figures, what accountancy package do they advise I use, all the key things I expected my accountant to take care of as I became busy with my my business, I trusted them and was wrong to do so. They informed me I had had to become VAT registered 2 months late which cost me a lot of money, and when I changed accountants they charged me £90+vat for filling in my details on 3 printed HMRC forms and sending them to me, an amount I would have disputed had they not have taken the money directly from money they were holding for me paid from HMRC.
All in all it seemed to me that Cound & Co aren't interested in the small business start ups as my new accountant spent 2 hours talking to me and running through how the tax system works and what best to do which is invaluable when you have not the time to do it yourself.

Leisure heating Ltd have used the services of Cound & Co for many years. The staff are friendly, professional and efficient. They provide a great service, good advice and are excellent value for money. We highly recommend this Company.

Gorse Covert Community Centre has been a customer for many years. Through out those years Cound & Co have always delivered a first class service. Thank you all at Cound & Co !

Cound & Co have been our business accountants for nearly 3 years. They are always available to help and provide a reliable and professional service.

Cound & Co LLP have provided me with a friendly, professional service for over 30 years. They have assisted me with my accounts for three very varied businesses and during that period their advice has been greatly appreciated. When complex accounting situations present themselves it is always reassuring to know that help is only ever a phone call away and that their service is really good value for money.

Using Cound & Co. for my local business and personal self assessment tax affairs. Absolutely first class service throughout. They have guided me through the process of being compliant with my new start-up and advised on the best way forward as we’ve grown. Having no background in tax affairs, I am constantly emailing and calling their office for advice and they are always very willing to help. I have had several face to face meetings too, and they have always been available, ready to answer questions and explain the complexities of the tax, VAT, PAYE systems and accountancy in general with friendliness and understanding. Expect to stay with them far into the future and would recommend to others in need of business or personal accountancy assistance.

Working with Bob at C&C for the last 3 years and just finishing off another painless yearend, thought I’d share my positive experience.

As an SME (16 years trading) we have worked with several accounting firms during that time, it`s fair to say that C&C have (by a country mile) added the most value to our business.

Result: Our finances are in the best shape then ever before.

We use Quick Books and C&C are Quick Books experts, so for QB users connecting with these guys is a no brainer! Love the fact that if we have an issue, question or made an inputting error they can simply log onto your PC remotely and sort it out as we talk over the phone.

Knowledgeable, responsive, supportive…. And their bill won’t ruin your day either!

5 stars from us.

Bob Gradon of Cound & Co. has been an amazing support over the last 15 years I have been Finance Manager for Cygnet Business Development Ltd
