What they say

Moving to Gold Stag Accounts was totally stress-free and after 4 previous providers has been a revelation to us, keep up the great work!

DCAD Ltd

Gold Stag Accounts are amazing, I'm so happy to have found Martin. He is incredibly efficient and makes everything so easy and stress free. Martin helped me with my Self assessment and I'll be working with him in the future- for sure! Thank you Martin!

I've been working with Martin over the last few months after setting up my first limited company and I'm so happy with his services. He's always on hand to answer any questions and it's great knowing that all my accounts and tax payments are in check - I don't have to worry about missing deadlines or wondering if I'm filling things out correctly anymore. It's definitely given me peace of mind (which is worth paying for in itself) and has taken a chunk of admin off my to-do list. I would definitely recommend him to freelancers and business owners!

Jessica, Millowe Ltd

Martin is very approachable, polite and very efficient. Fantastic customer care .  I would definitely recommend Martin Brooks at Gold Stag Accounts Ltd.  Quality service - 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Annoying? Yes.
    A sign of success? Also yes.

    Freelancers with two trades: MTD is about to get… a bit ridiculous 😅

    If you’re self-employed and you run two genuinely separate trades, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for IT) can create far more admin than most people expect.
