Forbes Young Accountancy Ltd Reviews 21

Spent a number of years with Forbes Young as my sole trader accountant and never had an issue whatsoever - efficent and supportive - thank you

Forbes Young accountancy are simply the best we could ever have wished for. Our company is now dissolved (due to retirement) but over the last almost 20 years their support has been nothing short of magnificent. Claire Thirtle in particular has been the shining star and there has never been a time when she could not answer our many questions, never a time when she could not guide us through the myriad paperwork tasks with HMRC, personal tax, company tax and beyond. Of greatest importance is the fact that we had 100% confidence that our business was on a sound legal footing with FY behind us. That is work more than money itself.

They did not just act on our requests but were pro-active in always bringing any pertinent matters to our attention, and always in good time. This meant that we never transgressed any rules or fell into any traps. We simply could not have done this without their expertise. There were never any waits on phone lines, talking to 'bots' but we always dealt with real people who were always willing and keen to help. What a relief!

A company needs to have confidence and trust in their accountants and vice versa. Forbes Young are without doubt the most professional accounting organisation that anyone could work with and we shall miss them not just as accountants but people too. Thank you so much for everything.

I have been using the accountant services of Forbes Young since 2021 and the experience has been pleasant and professional. The services and communications are efficient, effective and reliable. The questions were clearly and promptly answered. The newsletters were very useful, it's sent in the right frequency with digestible amount of information. I have recommended FY to other friends.

I used Forbes Young for 9 years and never had any problems. My two nominated accountants over the years always replied to queries promptly and they made it really easy for me to concentrate on running my business knowing all the financial requirements were in good hands. I would definitely recommend them.

Claire provided clear and accurate information throughout my experience of running a business, responded to my queries very efficiently, and was very knowledgable. Thank you for a wonderful service!

A really professional service from Claire Thirtle kept me very informed and extremely efficient work. Would highly recommend.

I have dealt with Claire and Graeme at Forbes Young for the past seven years. I was introduced to Forbes Young through personal recommendation from a friend. In most recent years I have dealt with Claire. She has offered five star service at all times. Her response level is not only extremely rapid but always clear and informative. Claire offers a personalised service that I cannot recommend highly enough. Beats hands down on all fronts my 2 previous accountancy services.

Claire and Forbes Young have provided a fantastic, great value accountancy service for me from the very start of my limited company through to its dissolution. As a complete novice to contract work and with a deep personal aversion to anything financial, I greatly appreciated the pateience shown and calm, clear explanations throughout. I was always kept informed of what was happening and what was required of me and Claire answered every single one of my many questions promptly and professionally. I would highly recommend Forbes Young and will definitely return should I ever need accountancy services again.

Claire who i dealt with at Forbes and young was brilliant, always available when i needed her. the service from forbes and young was great value and a no nonsence approach

Forbes Young have always been very efficient and always been on hand to provide advice when needed. From setting up my limited company running payroll and producing corporate and personal tax assessments they have always been very professional and quick. Definitely took a lot of the pain away in administering the financial side of the business.
I can thoroughly recommend them for any contractor looking for an accountant.

Very happy to recommend. Good, reliable, professional and expedient support and guidance at all times. Forbes Young enabled me focus on my business knowing that my company and financial could be managed within a strong framework.

I have found this company to be very professional. With excellent systems in place to manage documents and accounts.
I have received excellent, regular communication which make the mystery of company account simple and clear.
Claire has been very patient with me and always there to support me and answering my questions. I would not hesitate in recommending Forbes-Young to family, friends and colleagues.

Made it simple. Very responsive. Always helpful.

I approached Claire at Forbes Young on the back of recommendation and have no hesitation recommending them to others.

We got in touch with Forbes Young Accountancy in 2015 when we needed accountancy services for our Software Consultancy business. They were recommended to us by another Software consultant and we have been completely satisfied with their service ever since.

From our first business conversation with Graeme in 2015 and subsequently over the last few years with Claire, we’ve found them to be very thorough, professional and most importantly competent. They prepare your accounts/reports at the earliest opportunity and promptly inform you when information is needed from your business in order for them to prepare the obligated accounts/reports and subsequently submit them to the relevant authorities after your inspection and approval.

They also keep you up to date with the latest business rules and allowances and are only an email away if you have any questions or things which need clarifying.

They are security conscious as they use secure software to send you documents which require your inspection and make provisions (as part of the service) for you to do the same when sending them documents.

They respond to emails promptly and always explain things clearly. We are thoroughly satisfied with the service we’ve received from them over that last six years and based on our experience, thoroughly recommend them for any new/existing business looking for competent accountants.

I have been using Forbes Young accountancy for more than 8 years till I had to close my Ltd company due to IR35. I cannot praise highly enough the support and advice I have received from both Graeme and Claire from starting my company, during and closing the company. They have both always prompted me immediately when important things needed to be done and also they have always replied back to me immediately when I have had a question or when I have confirmed things. Everything has always been submitted on time with no issues. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for an accountancy team to take there business forward.

Excellent service and good value for money for my contractor company. Always reactive to queries and timely reminders throughout the year. Also provided wider personal tax and government policy information as appropriate. Highly recommended for similar small contractor limited companies.

Forbes Young have supported me for several years and have always responded promptly and given great service. I would definitely recommend.

Had a good experience using forbes over the past several years for my business accounting. Claire is always helpful and very quick to respond to questions and queries I've had. Would be happy to recommend.

I couldn’t recommend Neil and Claire more. They have been amazing for me and have helped me through a lot since I’ve become a business owner.

Neil has been my usual point of contact and he has been brilliant. I made the mistake, like most do, of thinking when I originally set up my business that I could do it myself. Not a chance! I was able to then hand everything I had to Forbes Young and they sorted it out!

Throughout Covid, they have helped me keep my business running and utilise the furlough scheme to best suit me. They’ve kept in touch and kept me updated which I have loved.

I will be keeping them as my companies accountants indefinitely!
