I cannot recommend Rawlinson Pryde & Partners more highly. I was fairly new to using an accountant in the last few years, for starting up a small business, and also for some tax returns for capital gains for year end. I'm not overly confident with processes around finance or knowledge on tax. I made an enquiry to Rawlinson Pryde & Partners and was fortunate enough to speak with Laura Fisher.
From the start Laura has always been very responsive, personable, understanding and just a real pleasure to deal with, nothing has been to much trouble, and I know that I do not need to worry about anything as it is in safe hands. Everyone that I have interacted with in the company has been really good, including Laura Collins and Joan, always very efficient and responsive. Overall a really positive experience, and will always recommend to others looking for a great accountancy firm.

I first used Rawlinson Pryde some years ago when setting up a company. David Rawlinson was really helpful with the set up and with business advice. Since then I have had support from David, and a number of his team, with annual company returns, personal tax returns and general business and personal financial advice. Laura Fisher has handled this in the last few years and has been excellent. I recommend Rawlinson Pryde highly - they are professional, thorough and responsive to queries.

I cannot recommend Rawlinson Pryde & Partners enough. Accounting has always made me nervous, I can easily get lost in the intricacies of tax rules/submissions etc. From the first meeting I had with RP&P they have made me feel at ease and assured that I am in safe hands. They are very knowledgeable, attentive, patient and supportive of my accounting needs. I want to thank Jonathan Ward for his support, no matter what I throw at him or how trivial my query may be, he has been incredibly helpful and prompt in dealing with me.

I have used Rawlinson for several years now to run my company accounts and my wife also uses them for her self employed returns. Laura is our accountant and is extremely professional, helpful and always on hand to answer our questions. What I love about dealing with this company is how quickly they respond to my questions, they are always free to talk things through on the phone and always have the best intentions for my company. Great company to deal with and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others looking for a fantastic accountant.

I have been a client of David Rawlinson and team since the 1980s. During this time they have provided me with simple but forward-thinking advice on how to best orchestrate my business finances for my personal benefit and that of our small family organisation. When the time came to switch from being a Sole Trade to Ltd Company they were very helpful and continue to offer sound and sensible advice, at reasonable rates, to ensure there are no unpleasant surprises with regard to VAT or any of the many taxes which impact small businesses.
This advice has extended to how to manage the finances from an investment property which is part of my wider pension planning, where again they have helped me navigate that changing environment. When you are running a business over three decades, it is very helpful to have a side team of professionals like Rawlinson Pryde & Partners. I may only be a small client to them but I feel that they have taken great care of me and mine.
