Beavertown Brewery

Beavertown has used Carbon Accountancy almost since the start of the business. They have always provided excellent service and quality advice throughout our journey of growth. As a rapidly growing company they have always adapted to our needs. When Heineken invested in us they were more than happy for us to continue to use Carbon Accountancy and we would not hesitate to recommend them to any group, large or small.

Pivot Power

Working with the team at Carbon Accountancy has been a breath of fresh air.

Their pragmatic and direct approach, steeped in relevant experience and capability, sprinkled with a ‘can do’ attitude has been a huge benefit to Pivot Power and moving our business forward.

Needless-to-say, we highly recommend John and his team as a service provider, advisor and partner who will no doubt deliver on the task at hand – with a warm and empathetic approach that makes it all the more enjoyable.

Sirius Open Source software

Carbon Accountancy have been Sirius’ accountants since 2011, and changing to them was a great business decision.

Yes, the entire team from CEO John Leyden to their latest new recruit are smart, knowledgeable and competent, but this is simply what you would expect from such a firm. What you will really notice, and here’s the key to Carbon’s success, is that they consistently practise great customer service and go way beyond what you’d expect from your accountants. I have relied upon John and his team time after time and they have always come through for me. I cannot recommend this excellent company highly enough.

So, it's finally happening and it’s VERY exciting. I'm about to get onto the property ladder after years of renting.

I just can’t believe I went for so long without ever seeking advice about my finances. I could have kept my head in the sand for ever. When I spoke to Joel in your team, his friendly manner helped me decide to confront my fears and come up to meet you and I'm so glad I did. I really appreciate your honest, clear way of putting things John - and your obvious wealth of experience. I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your wisdom and advice. It was, without a word of exaggeration, life changing.

Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how helpful Izci and Yagmur have been since GradMedia have been working with Carbon Accountancy. I have really appreciated their support and patience with me while I get to grips with what needs to be done with our accounting. I am delighted with the service that we have received from Carbon Accountancy so far!

YouGovStone Ltd

Carbon Accountancy have been my accountants since 2003 and I am very pleased indeed they were recommended to me. The service provided has been excellent - they take a real interest in my business. Their advice is sound and I regularly ring them for off the cuff advice. The fixed fee is very reasonable - I have on more than one occasion actually insisted they charge me more!!

Carole Stone, Managing Director

Renaissance Pubs Limited

Renaissance Pubs Limited is an expanding chain of gastro pubs. We have used Carbon Accountancy since the early days and have always found them friendly and pro-active as well as professional. They have always provided their service on a fixed fee basis and we have never had any nasty surprises. They are happy to provide advice outside the scope of preparing accounts within their annual fee.

Nick Fox, CEO

Imogen Hall

Prior to engaging Carbon Accountancy we did our own tax returns and regularly received very nasty surprises in the form of much larger than anticipated tax bills. That has all stopped with the help of John and his team. We understand the tax system much more and are able to make better decisions thanks to their excellent advice and guidance.

Jonathan Cainer, Daily Mail Astrologer

I used to dread visiting my accountant about as much as going to the dentist. The thought of some long,tedious conversation about numbers and allowances was enough to make my eyes glaze over. Then I made an extremely important discovery. If you have an accountant that you actually get along with, it's fun to go and see him. Then, because you are actually listening to what he says,you really hear him when he gives you sound financial advice.

Hudson & Co

Hudson & Co is a London based firm of solicitors and as such we have to have our client account money audited for the Law Society – Carbon Accountancy have always done the audit with minimum disruption to the firm and on a fixed fee basis. They also do the firm's accounts and tax returns. I would have no hesitation in recommending them as accountants to any company or professional individual. 

David Hudson, Solicitor

Robin Ellis Group

I have used my accountants for my business and private affairs for nearly 15 years. During this time, my business has grown ten-fold and my personal arrangements have become more complex. Throughout this time I have been impressed and reassured by the support. At all times, they have managed to adjust to changing circumstances and provide the appropriate level of input. I find this unusual and very comforting. In the past, relationships with accountants had been very uneven, with firms either being too small to offer sound advice in a wide range of areas or too big to deal sensitively with the issues that matter to a small company. Both my accounts staff and I consider ourselves very fortunate to have had such along working relationship and we hope that it will continue for many years to come. We would recommend them without hesitation.

Magic Breakfast

As a growing charity we need advice on a regular basis, but as a charity we want to ensure that our financial resources go towards our charitable objectives. Carbon Accountancy provides us with a cost effective solution – they haven't charged us a penny in over five years!! On top of that they are easy to deal with and turn things around quickly.

Kevin Tullett, financial services

Armed with sharp insights and an unparalleled attention to detail, the decision to entrust my company and personal accounts to them proved to be correct from the first moment. Professionalism, trust, accurate and timely advice, along with an ability to analyse interwoven accounts made my accounts the very least of my worries.

An in-depth, personal involvement took the relationship beyond one of client-provider, to a level that allowed them to intuitively know the optimal solutions for me and my company. A combination of one to one involvement, and the teams tireless work ethic will ensure that I remain a client for a long time.

Intellistream Limited

As a venture capital backed company it is essential that we have information produced on time each month. Carbon Accountancy provides a full accounting service – everything from payroll and book-keeping to financial and commercial advice – all at a fixed monthly fee, making it easy to control cost and budget effectively. The team is friendly and pro-active and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

15 years ago, I was relieved to finally find an accountant to work with who was so helpful and supportive. Personable, but professional, services have been an invaluable asset to my businesses. Here's to the next 15 years.

They have been my accountants for three years now and I couldn't have been happier from day one. Helpful and proactive they keep me free to run my business content in the knowledge that the right things are being done. Tax advice has always been excellent.

I find this ideal for me as a one man consulting company and I do not need to be distracted by dealing with the detail of my accounting and tax matters. I have been very happy to recommend to other people and have received very positive feedback following those referrals.

What Other Satisfied Clients Say About Carbon Accountancy

“I called you about a company I work with who was withholding monies from me. Without hesitation, you helpfully gave amazing advice to a stranger and suggested I look into a Money Claim Online. After months and months of not being paid correctly, after we spoke, I filed a claim as you advised, and subsequently received the whole amount owing to me. So, I’m HUGELY grateful to you for taking your time and talent to help me. You’re awesome, John!” Delighted from London.
