Vantage Accounting Winchester

We have been with Stilwell Gray since June 1998 (21 years) and recently taken early retirement. We have been very happy with the excellent and friendly professional service they have provided to us.

It has been a pleasure working with them over the many years. Sarah Holland and her team have been brilliant. Always very helpful and quick to respond to emails.

We would highly recommend Stilwell Gray.

I can not recommend Stilwell Gray enough. We had a very difficult HMRC investigation and Stilwell Gray handled it completely. What could have been an incredibly stressful time was an stress free with their frankly exceptional service. So pleased were we with the service, that we have continued to use them for all of our tax needs. They are always helpful and their response time is extremely good. There has been no question or enquiry they have not been able to resolve, usually in under 24 hours. A simply outstanding service. If you are seeking a professional and experienced company, use Stilwell Gray.

I have been with Stilwell Gray Accountancy for over 15 years. Sarah Holland and the team has been brilliant, keeping me on track and up to date with government submissions, filings, actions etc.

Great communication throughout and a thoroughly professional, friendly and courteous approach means dealing with them is straightforward and easy.

Fees are justified and very reasonable, I would have no hesitation in recommending Stilwell Gray, I have nothing but praise for the entire team and they are a a credit to their profession.

Vantage Accounting have managed my Ltd Company for a number of years - Personable, professional and communicable. Would recommend to any Sole Trader or Ltd Company.

Terrible service with so many mistakes. I started using them after doing my tax return myself but I wanted to get professional advice about becoming a ltd company.
First tax year they sent me my tax return on the 28th February (I had chased them the whole of January to ask when it would be done) at 07.31am with a glaring mistake about an overpayment that was due to their mistake. I was then asked more questions through the day as someone from another company had been drafted in to do my return. Then at 19.35pm they finally send me the corrected version and ask me to go over it. All in all a very frustrating experience but I gave them the benefit of doubt, but this year they send me my draft copy and have made me self employed which had never been discussed. That was my cue to leave.
This is on top of missing out simple figures that I had given them on their own form, taking weeks to get back to me and I never did get any advice from them about becoming ltd because I was continually waiting for them to finish my accounts so we could get a good picture.
The only positive is they taught me how to use XERO which is great, but they should have been about to do my return in a matter of hours, not months like they took.

They are not specialists for small businesses, regardless of the packages they advertise. The names of the people I was dealing with changed almost every month. I constantly had to chase for information. Tax returns, PAYE calculations and Payroll calculations were always wrong, which left me to correct their mistakes. When you're running a business you hire accountants to take away the pain and the complicated jargon of the HMRC, to make it easier for you as a business owner to run your business. This was not my experience with Vantage and I advise you not to use them. Wish I could leave 0 out of 5 stars.

I am now waiting for over half a year to get my accounts done by Vantage. Keep calling them, sending them emails and they keep delaying me. Been in touch with John Stovell. Please ensure that my accounts are done by the end of the week! I waited and chased you long enough!!!

Vantage service the accounts of two and soon to be three small businesses and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Great team, accessible and accurate. Annual Accounts, HMRC Filings. Xero access. Payroll - all top service. Really enjoy working with them.
