Client Testimonials


Dont’ take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:

I was fortunate enough to meet Hayley at a networking meeting, just as I was looking for an accountant. With my first accounting deadline looming, Hayley met with me at short notice, taking the time to get to know me and my small business. I was put completely at ease and felt reassured that I was in good hands. Hayley managed to complete my accounts in record time, despite a few last minute changes on my part. Hayley was professional, efficient and courteous throughout and I am happy to have found a reliable and personable accountant. I have no hesitation in recommending HB Associates to others.

Anita King -Director

A Sense of Craft Limited

At the beginning of the year I inherited our charity accounts overnight! I had absolutely no idea where to start. I was unfamiliar with the software in which our charity used and very much out of my comfort zone. HB Associates was recommended to me.

Hayley was approachable and supportive of my situation. She took the time to explain what needed doing and how she could help get all our accounts up to speed ready for the year end at a very reasonable cost.

Hayley introduced a new software as she could see we were struggling with the one we had. She supplied us with Xero training and we made a huge saving by doing so!

My business has seen substantial growth in the last few years, this then led to my business needing to become VAT registered which was a complete minefield to me.

Hayley made the process of becoming VAT registered completely stress free and provided training in relation to accountancy systems for filing my VAT returns under MTD.

Hayley is very approachable and I feel I can contact her with any queries I have in relation to VAT and my tax affairs as I start on this new chapter.

No question is a silly question to HB Associates, I highly recommend!

Hayley has given us excellent practical guidance and advice in all areas regarding our business finances. She has helped us gain a much clearer understanding of the systems in place which has allowed us to approach matters more efficiently. 

Hayley is friendly and approachable and has actively encouraged us to reach out when we find ourselves in need of help.

I would highly recommend HB Associates to anyone that needs assistance with their finances.
