What our clients say

“Ellacotts have been our auditors for many years and we have built a very close working relationship. They have been efficient and proactive, particularly in meeting deadlines, and provide a professional service.”

Kevin Matthews | Finance Director | Cherwell Valley Silos Limited

“Ellacotts have been our Accountant for over 20 years and during that time have consistently delivered a friendly, personal and proactive service. In addition to completing our accounts in record time, they provide relevant and valuable commentary on the financial position of the company as well as ad hoc VAT advice. Plus, by taking the time to teach us how to produce accurate financial reports ourselves, they have also saved us money on our fees.”

David Stone | Owner | Spearhead Training Group Ltd

“Ellacotts have been the auditors and tax advisers of Laser Lines Ltd for many years and have a great understanding of our business. They have been extremely responsive and proactive and are able to provide specialist expertise across a range of areas.

The audit service is excellent, and they give valuable assurance to our shareholders and directors. They also offer timely and tailored advice on various tax matters.

Our business continues to grow and develop and we very much appreciate their continuing support and advice.”

Sandra Hall | Managing Director | Laser Lines Ltd

“Ellacotts became our new auditors replacing our previous, long-standing auditors. Despite this being the first audit with them it went very smoothly and was well managed by the audit team. Everyone involved at Ellacotts was experienced so we were only asked sensible questions and were able to get on with our daily work with only necessary interruptions. We are part of a French-owned group and so have very tight reporting deadlines for our year end but these were met with no dramas.”

Samantha Cribb | Financial Controller | PCM

“Regardless of whether it was a UK tax matter, a complicated multi-national business deal or preparing annual returns, Ellacotts have always provided a first class service.”

“I’m up and running on Xero and it’s brilliant, I can’t quite believe that I can be so pleased about it all! The accounting normally takes me about a day a quarter, Xero will get that down to an hour. I’ve probably gained 3 days a year production capacity from this change.”
