What they say
Martin really helped us when we transitioned over to a whole new accounting package. Nothing was too much trouble and he always made time for us.
Martin has been brilliant in the time I've been using Gold Stag. Every question I’ve had has been answered (of which there have been many) and he’s been very helpful to me getting my company going in its first year.
Martin is not your average accountant. Firstly, he's human and talks to you like a friend, rather than someone who has a degree in finance-speak. And he's always there when you need help and advice - it's not just about balancing the figures. I love Martin because he gives me peace of mind that the tax man is happy, he gives me reassurance that financially my business is in the best shape it can be, and he gave me my dream of owning a successful Ltd. company. If you want an accountant who really 'gets' who you are, what you're trying to achieve and why, Martin's your man.
Martin is brilliant! He has saved us thousands within the first year. He puts my anxiety at ease with a conservative approach for us. And he makes my day with his on-point memes.
