Matt and the Team have taken Your Best Car on an immensely rewarding journey with positive highlights being: Fundamental in organising the change to a paperless office with a totally digital (online) approach to how Your Best Car works as an organisation. Producing Management Accounts and end of Year accounts in a timely manner. Efficiently handling our payroll and pensions, and minimising administration for us. Always available to answer any questions that we have, and keen to offer sound business advice. Savings at both of our sites on clerical and administration Salaries.

Our only regret is not taking advantage of Matt and his team’s services sooner!

Andrew Woolger – Your Best Car

Having been with the same accountant for nearly 30 years, we felt that everything was a bit stale. After speaking with Matt Allen for an hour, we could see that we were correct. Matt and his team cover all our requirements, and everything ticks along in the background seamlessly, while we get on with the day to day running of the business. We would have no hesitation in recommending James Rose Accountancy to any future potential clients.

David Newton – Newton Transport Ltd

I have been using Matt for around 15 years now and have a very positive working relationship with Matt and the team. Since I first started using Matt, my accountancy needs have evolved, and I use them not only for my tax return and company accounts but also for strategic advice and tax planning. I have recommended them to contacts over the years and would not hesitate to recommend James Rose to anyone looking for a forward-thinking and approachable accountancy practice.

Natalie Boardman – Belvoir Franchise

I have found Matt and his team to be incredibly responsive in helping with both my personal and my business tax. I love being able to see up-to-date financial statements at the click of a button. Their systems are super simple and I can find everything I need when I need it.

R Doyle – Award-winning Tunbridge Wells retailer

At my previous company, I had to find new accountants to improve effectiveness, accuracy, and efficiency in our company accounting that we had in place. One of our supplier partner companies recommended I talk to Matt. He quickly assessed our business needs and recommended a clear way forward, including a new accounting package. The results were positive from the start, providing a ‘breath of fresh air’ with close engagement and obtaining a good understanding of our business fundamentals. When I came to start my own company GI Systems Ltd at the start of 2019 there was no hesitation in using Matt and his team as my accountants, their advice and support as a ‘start up’ was valuable in initially setting up and I continue to be pleased with the ongoing relationship as my company moves forward.

I would highly recommend James Rose Accountancy to talk to if a company is looking to review their accounting needs.
