Can't recommend Richard Place Dobson enough. Was helped by Jordan who was extremely helpful and very supportive especially providing invaluable knowledge with regard to capital gains tax. I will most definitely be using Richard Place Dobson and Jordan in particular again to guide me through any financial queries I may encounter or future services I may require.

I engaged Karl Carraher and Matthew Tyson to provide me with taxation advice regarding a purchase and structure of a residential property within a limited company structure, and cannot express how highly I would rate their knowledge of HMRC regulations, professionalism and all-round customer service. Karl was a wealth of knowledge and was able to explain complex tax liabilities in a clear and simple to understand manner.
His detailed understanding of HMRC legislation is truly incredible. Matthew was always courteous, extremely punctual in his replies to requests for information, and responded to emails at all hours, day or night. Their fees are also very competitive and I would highly recommend their services.

I used RPD for probate services and ongoing tax returns. Jordan dealt with both of these and during this difficult time he was always both professional and kind. Nothing was too much trouble and he responded to all my many worries and queries efficiently and sympathetically. I would definitely recommend.

I was getting a bit stuck with Sage and it was suggested that some instruction may prove helpful but what I didn't count on was exactly how helpful David was, he has made my life a lot easier, took the training at my pace, let me ask as many daft questions as I liked and in the process didn't make me feel stupid! So if like me you've hit a brick wall with your finance package I couldn't recommend David more highly!

I have been working with Jordan and the team for tax returns since 2017 for overseas work in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, and highly recommend Richard Place Dobson. The service they have provided has been highly professional and all queries have been answered quickly by Jordan to ensure no issues or delays with my tax returns. Thank you to Jordan and the team!

We have used Richard Place Dobson for over 20 years now and they have always given us excellent service. What I like most is that I can call up any number of people there and get straight through to the person I need to speak to, often resolving any queries I have over a short telephone call. With the more recent move over to cloud accounting they have helped me gain a greater understanding on how to do a lot of the admin stuff myself using Xero which has brought down our overall accountancy fees whilst also giving me a much better knowledge about the running of my companies.

I have used Richard Place Dobson for the last 3 years now and have been very satisfied with their services. They are quick and efficient - with a good price. My main point of contact John Corduff has helped oversee a smooth transition from a sole trader to a limited company as well as looking after my tax. I definitely recommend for anyone wanting to pass the hassle and stress of doing their own accounts/tax onto the experts far better qualified to handle them! Thank you RPD
