Just went through the annual cycle, annual reports, dividend payments, company tax submission, vat, personal self assessment. Cowley Holmes couldn't have made it easier for me. It is great to have such a professional firm working with me. They take away all the stress of bookkeeping and tax - and save me a lot of money too. Always pleasant, polite and available. One of the few firms I deal with that regularly exceed expectation. A real pleasure to deal with.

I have known Barry Cowley and his staff for a few years now. As an accountant myself (previously with my own practice), I am familiar with the difficulties of working with one's own business. In these difficult COVID 19 and Brexit times, it becomes doubly hard to keep trading and perform to an excellent standard. But they continue to do so nonetheless!
Always providing and excellent standard of work, yet still remaining polite and easy to communicate with, is the reason I recommend many of my referrals to Barry, particularly for property/SME solutions. I would have no hesitation in continuing to refer to him and his polite staff in the future.

Cowley Holmes looked after our business Peritus Power and our personal accounts for many years. Excellent, professional service, at all times. Even when our business hit hard times Cowley Holmes were nothing short of supportive and understanding. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. A professional, yet friendly and understanding company with people who care. Many thanks Cowley Holmes for all the support you gave us through the years.

I've experienced an excellent customer relationship starting out with Cowley Holmes as my new accountant. Barry got in touch with me immediately and spent a lot of time carefully explaining everything over the phone. I received a thorough welcome pack in the post with all the information I could ever need. All my emails have been answered and process is underway. Highly recommended for specialist knowledge in my industry too.

So pleased with the service from Cowley Holmes. I wasn't aware of what I had to do with my situation and was slightly concerned. Everything was explained to me very professionally and I was reassured and put at ease immediately. Excellent service and very prompt with all my enquiries. Thank you so much!

I can't recommend the team at Cowley Holmes highly enough. They ensure complete peace of mind and are always on hand to answer a question that may pop up. Service levels never drop, even during the covid-19 crisis which is further testament to their integrity and loyalty to their clients. Special mention to Pauline and Armando. 100% recommend.

Cowley Holmes have looked after our accounts for a long time now but whenever we need there help all the staff members are extremely friendly and always willing to assist. They talk on your level and are easy to understand and have a sense of humour too! Nothing is too much trouble they are an absolute pleasure to work with. Pauline and Armando on our last visit were brilliant at discussing and showing us the Quick books system we can't wait to get started! Extremely professional and would highly recommend.
