“The client was a long-standing, family-run taxi-firm that were doing well on a handwritten bookkeeping system, but changes in legislation meant that an upgrade to digital record-keeping was necessary for business growth. They had small parts of the business on Sage 50, but their current accountant had made them fearful to ditch the old methods.
As soon as they made the switch to A G Smith & Co, we went on site and built a tailored Excel solution to track driver system-rents, banking and school’s contracts. As it was a fairly large company, we put the Excel system in place to act a bridging software into a Sage cloud product; it boosted the client’s knowledge and confidence regarding digital bookkeeping and made them confident to start making the switch.
During this process, we developed a more informal relationship with the client, which meant they had increased trust in us to help with any problem, not just regarding their accounts. Recently, they had a very sudden opportunity to gain a large taxi contract. We visited the client, and together produced an Excel calculator that allowed them to put a precise offer in on-time, and secure the £350,000+ T/O contract.”

CPRS Ltd is a new company, and we did not know much about running the accounting side of a business as company directors. We appointed A G Smith & Co to form our company and run our PAYE. Everything was explained in a way that we could understand and absorb. Any questions, of which there were many, were expertly answered and explained.
We feel relaxed in running our business knowing that help is not far away.

When arranging mortgages for my clients I often need to work with accountants when it comes to getting information on a client. I often find some accountants don’t even have the right qualification.
When dealing with A G Smith & Co, I have always found them to be extremely thorough and efficient in getting information to me. Their figures are always clear and easy to understand, which means I can get my clients' mortgages arranged and to offer that much faster.
It’s always a relief when I hear “A G Smith & Co is my Accountant”.

I had used another accountant for 30 years. I wasn’t particularly happy with them but I never moved because I was under the misinterpretation that all accountants were the same.
But I after I had met with A G Smith & Co a couple of times, I can safely say that not all accountants are the same. Their experience and down-to-earth attitude is extremely impressive, and they picked up on something my previous accountant had kept putting off, which was going to be a big problem for me.
A G Smith & Co were extremely fast and professional in completing the job in one tenth of the time my previous accountant did and also under what they had quoted me. Andrew and his staff are a pleasure to deal with, and I have no hesitation in recommending the to anyone.
