 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After searching for a new accountant for a new business we found Abbeygate Accountancy. From the first meeting through to now, only six months later, they have been extremely helpful.  We have been dealing with the wonderful Seinthini and she has been amazing. Excellent response time and has dealt with some urgent requests straight away.
I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Abbeygate, and we look forward to moving the business forward with their advice and assistance.
Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Abbeygate have been so helpful and patient whilst we are in process of changing Accountants and software.  Seinthini and Harvee have answered all my questions about Xero and ensured I know what I am doing!  I thoroughly recommend Abbeygate and am looking forward to working with them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been with Abbeygate Accountancy for over a year now and in that time have closed a business, opened a new one and had some serious health issues and I have to say they have been a real pleasure to work with.  Jess, Seinthini and all the team are always on hand to help with any questions and give nice clear guidance on using the xero software.  A truly approachable, stress free, friendly, professional company to work with!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abbeygate offer a refreshing take on accountancy, and kindly spared their time to answer questions and offer guidance on Xero. It's clear customer service is at the forefront of what they do and they genuinely want to create a slick, personal service for their clients.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hi Andy

Bit late but HNY to you and I hope your keeping well.

Just wanted to touch base and let you know how pleased I am with the service I have received from Abbeygate.  Everyone I have interacted with has been more than polite and most importantly all very knowledgeable and helpful making (what I feared would be) a difficult process much easier.

Karlee in particular has been fantastic with expert knowledge and patience in answering my queries / questions etc, she's done a great job for me.   I feel I'm in good hands,  many thanks to you all.
