“We have been with Paddenburg & Co for nearly 15 years, since the early days of our publishing business Dry Red Press, and we are extremely happy with their excellent service. Their team of knowledgeable and professional accountants have not only helped us with the usual accounting tasks, they have also supported us through significant changes within our company. Without them we would not have been brave enough to take some of the steps we have taken in terms of business structure and accounting systems. We have a great relationship with Nick, Peter, Charlotte and the team, who always go out of their way to help with any issue, big or small. We were very lucky to find such a solid, supportive accounting firm while we were learning how to run a business, as they have helped us grow year after year.
It may sound surprising, but we always look forward to our accountant meetings, thanks to the friendly atmosphere along with the professional advice and service. Aside from our company accounts, they also manage our personal tax – and the businesses of a growing number of our friends and family! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for an honest, skilful accountant offering personal and friendly service.”
“We are thrilled to provide a glowing testimonial for Paddenburg & Co.
The team is consistently professional and friendly, and there is always someone available on the end of the phone when needed. Their advice on tax planning, payroll, VAT, and year-end filings has been thorough, clear, proactive and reliable.
They have been our accountants for some years now; they are prompt to respond and have a positive can-do attitude – nothing is ever too much trouble. It is reassuring to know they have the best interests of our business at heart and the expertise to professionally advise and guide us on all financial matters.”
“I consider our working relationship with Paddenburg & Co to be central to my family’s financial security and peace of mind. We have been with the firm for decades now, and they have been consistently reliable, accurate and great value for money. I can always call and get an informed member of the team on the phone- a rare thing in this day and age. They have steered us through life’s choppy waters and smooth seas alike with competence and confidence. I know that everything is done ‘by the book’ and ,should anything happen to me, I know they would unfailingly take care of my family’s interests. The service goes beyond what any accounting firm would normally do, and you can’t put a price on that.”
“Brighton Botanical Ltd have been using Paddenburg & Co since our company’s formation in 2002. In those many years we have come to realise that Paddenburg & Co is an essential cog in the growth and development of the business.
They provide us with a complete accountancy package; annual returns, payroll, monthly reporting, constant procedure updates, VAT, personal tax and most importantly- always available at the end of the phone to deal with any queries quickly and efficiently, no matter how dumb the question might be!
They have taken away the myriad worries that come with starting and growing a business from nothing to a complex and involved operation. We just concentrate on our jobs and the whole massive accounting mystery is dealt with by the wizards at Paddenburg.
We thank them every day!”
“What more can I say than “We’ve been with Paddenburg & Co for over 40years now”! Not once ever have they let us down in anyway, to the contrary they cannot do more for you and have given us advise, help and support over and above any company we have ever dealt with. Peter, Nick and the team are just there for you, I cannot recommend them more Highly.”
