I've been using Cogent for at least 4 years, and before that CMEASY. The support I get is A1, always return calls, the FreeAgent accounting software very easy to use. Value for money. Thanks

That's fantastic Steve, so happy and pleased that you are enjoying being with Cogent. Yes, we are always here and available to tend to your every need and the FreeAgent accounting tool that we use is, I agree, second to none and easy to use.
So glad you decided to take the successful and hassle-free leap from CMEASY over to Cogent and you find the service good value for money.
Thanks once again for taking the time to review us and for being such a loyal client over the past 15 or so years! Please do continue to refer us to your friends and colleagues as I know you do which we are very much appreciative of.
Best regards,

Can't fault them!
I joined when they were called CMEASY. The clue is in the name. They came recommended and I highly recommend them to anybody else who is setting up a ltd company. I don't even have to think! They give very good advice and respond very quickly. Incredibly reliable and supportive. Very friendly and knowledgeable, particularly Adam.

A TOTALLY RELIABLE SERVICE
I have been with CMEASY/COGENT Accountants since 2007 and have been totally happy with them in all that time.
They have provided a constant assurance and reliable service for both my company and personal finances.
I have my own Account Manager in Mark Dowling who is always there especially when I need him most. He's always got the right advice and information when I need to do something special.
The FreeAgent accounts app comes as part of the team for my 'dailies' (expenses) as I like to call them. But most of all it show's me everything I need in a glance with all the other goodies that come with it.
This is a Team that you can trust as I have who have become an integral part of my life.
Many thanks.

Self employed engineer
I am a self employed engineer and I find the Cogent system very straightforward and intuitive to use. Engineering is my primary focus and it is great to have an online accounts system that takes care of the accountancy side of things.
For the few times that I do need assistance my designated contact is quick to respond.
It was recommended to me by another contract engineer and I am happy to recommend it. I am with CMEASY/Cogent since 2013.

I have used the services of Victor Korman accountancy companies for over 20 years, this has included CMeasy and more recently Cogent and have always been pleased with the service I have got, at a reasonable cost. The Cogent FreeAgent platform keeps you in touch with the weekly running of my Limited Company although I do struggle at times with some of the facilities it provides, which aren't fully intuitive.

Cogent enabled me to focus on my business delivery...
Moving to Cogent Accountants just over 12 months ago was one of the best decisions I made.
The service is outstanding as it feels like a very personal service with appreciated advice and gentle reminders with great technology and visibility.
This has allowed me to really focus on my business and customer delivery.

It is my second year with Cogents Accountants and can highly recommend their services. Vince O'Connell as my dedicated manager has addressed all my correspondence promptly and efficiently. The FreeAgent application provided is excellent to use and provides real-time status of company accounts. Accountancy fees are also very reasonable.
