We have been working with Marks & Co for 6 years. I can highly recommend their services. They are always friendly and professional, and there to help with our accountancy questions.

Horrendous - I've had exact same experience as James who's left a review here below. Dealing with the same guy - rarely gets back to emails, robotic communication, zero help whatsoever. Any questions I've had on the phone have always been answered with ummm and ahhhs - I have zero confidence in this accountancy, I would absolutely NOT recommend using this company. They just want to get paid. I'm sure I've also had many missed opportunities for tax savings also.

Henry is always very helpful and prompt in dealing with our accounts and if I have any tax queries. We have used his company for over 15 years and I would not hesitate in recommending him and Marks & co to anyone.

Excellent service, thorough and professional. Having their help to fill in a tax return made me feel reassured and it was stress-free. They don't use jargon and were understanding and responsive. Will use this company again and recommend it highly.

Stay well clear of this place! I was with them for two years and decided to change my accountant after Henry submitted my tax return late, which meant I had to pay a 100 fine. He didn't return any of my e-mails two weeks prior to this (I would have done it myself to avoid the fine, if I had known how unreliable he was). Just changed to another accountant in Brighton who told me that I could have saved around 3000 in tax over the last two years.

My new accountant gives me advice about what is best for my business and how I can keep my tax payments low - something Marks and Co. never did. So, my business is around 4000 worse off after appointing Marks and Co. to do my accounts 2 years ago - waste of money and time. There are so many better accountants in Brighton - don't make the same mistake as I did. Horrendous service.
