When I decided, in 2007, to set up my own business, after 40 years as an employee, I had only a perfunctory understanding of how I should go about this, especially in terms of company status, whether to become registered for VAT, and, crucially, establishing appropriate accounting procedures. Fortunately, a trusted and knowledgeable friend recommended Bradshaws. Since then, I have followed the advice offered by Andrew Bradshaw and his colleagues on all the financial aspects of the business, and have benefited enormously from their counsel. In the preparation of my annual accounts, all members of Bradshaws staff are highly professional and efficient, and respond quickly and effectively to any queries.

Bradshaws is a friendly, pleasingly efficient company that I have done business with since its formation. I became one of the first clients as I first met Andrew Bradshaw in 1992 when I needed advice on starting a new business and he has been a trusted advisor ever since. All advice has been well thought through considering the current and possible future consequences of any actions to be taken. On a personal basis my family tax planning and year end returns have been handled with equal efficiency. The quality of the service delivered in a friendly, efficient manner makes it a pleasure to do business with Bradshaws and over the years have recommended their services to friends and work colleagues.
