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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Having worked with Abbeygate for over a year, and through several significant changes during that time, including redundancies, a move to new payroll software and systems, multiple HR changes, year-end processes, VAT returns, and P11Ds, I feel confident saying we’ve really tested the full scope of their support. Hand on heart, they could not be more accommodating, helpful, or understanding. Whether you’re a small business or a larger organisation, they are an excellent choice for all accounting needs, and we’re genuinely glad we made the move to them. We work regularly with Harvee and Tom, as well as Kendall and Jess, and the whole team consistently goes above and beyond while maintaining a high level of professionalism and politeness, especially valuable when you’re still learning the ropes yourself.
