Maslins has been our accountants since 2015 and they have always been very professional and accurate. They always... respond to all queries in a timely manner. We have worked more closely with Julie, who is very supportive and immensely knowledgeable, nothing is too much trouble for her. She has always given us sound advice on various company and personal tax issues. She is an asset to Maslins and we will continue to refer and promote Maslins and Julie to many of our friends and colleagues.All round a highly recommended service. Thank You!read more

What a fantastic company! I have nothing but positive things to say about Maslins. My accountant, Daniela, was... absolutely brilliant. She was polite, helpful, very responsive and really professional. As was every other person I spoke to or had email contact with. I've had some very mixed experience with other accountancy companies in the past, so to anyone else reading this who has had similar experiences I'd say give Maslins a try. They're brilliant!read more

I'm only a month into working with Maslins, but so far the experience has been amazing, right from my first phone call... with Daniela, who gave me half an hour of expert advice before I even signed up. Responses are swift and detailed, FreeAgent makes more sense after a few weeks than Xero did after two years and overall my accounts have changed from a source of mild dread to something I almost enjoy!read more

I really cannot express how grateful I am for Gareth and the team at Maslins with their support and professionalism in... supporting my company. From the very first communication I was given clear advice, direction and guidance. Throughout the lifetime of the company they readily responded to queries and were always timely with notifications of changes to laws and taxes. When it came time to close the company they went above and beyond in ensuring everything was completed as prescribed by law.I truly cannot recommend them enough!read more

My previous accountant did my business accounts only and were pretty expensive and any additional queries were... chargeable. I would get so confused with my accounts and when it was time to file self assessment I was often late and I had fines. When I closed my previous company I ended up losing around £3K that I was unable to claim back!I saw loads of great reviews for Maslins and when I started my new company decided to go with them - they handle everything, are incredibly friendly and personable and really took the stress away - huge thanks to Gareth and Daniela and the wider team. I would highly recommend!read more

I've used Maslins for 11 years now, and it's hard to leave a review for them without sounding like I work for them.... They are the nicest bunch of accountants (I mean that in a good way) you'll ever meet. Every one of them is friendly, professional and responsive. Emails are replied to almost by return, they're pro-active with any issues they spot and they'll bend over backwards to help you in any way they can. Don't even give it a second thought, just sign up with them, you won't regret it.read more

I have been a Ltd Co IT Contractor for nearly a decade, and during that time Maslins have constantly provided me great... (and great value) accountancy services.

Maslins have been a great help supporting my accounting needs. Responses have always been very timely. It’s taken all... of the pain out of tax returns and day to day running of the business.

BEST ACCOUNTING FIRM I'VE EVER USED! I've been self employed for 20 years and a limited company for about 10. And I've... had a few different accountants. My company is small (it's just me), and I find accounting processes difficult. These guys are supportive and provide prompt efficient customer service. They know what they are doing. They are familiar with all the latest online processes and don.t make you feel silly for not being an accountant. Great priced fees, pay monthly instead of one huge bill, and they include the annual FreeAgent fees, which are worth over £300. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED.read more

I have been a client of Maslins for 3 years now as a director of a limited company, and I cannot recommend them highly... enough. My accountant is Julie and she is awesome! I've never waited more than 30 minutes for a response, and they do email responses, which fits around my hectic schedule far more easily than a phone call. They also natively use FreeAgent which makes my life so much easier. Fully recommended!read more

Matt CM

13:04 17 Dec 19

I read another review by someone saying Maslins was the best company they had ever worked with. That probably sums it... up for me too. Everyone in the team is so easy to work with, friendly and professional. As someone who has a bit of a block around accounting, working with Maslins has meant I actually feel on top of everything - no mean feat. If you're thinking about working with them, stop thinking about it and do it!read more

Maslins have been a great company to work with.

As a 25 year freelance veteran, I've had my fair share of accountancy firms over the years, but finding Chris Maslin... around 2010 from the Freeagent friendly list, I have never looked back. Very down to earth, straightforward and above all completely reliable. Makes running your business so much easier knowing there's one less to think about.read more

Having used a few accountants in the past, I can genuinely say that Maslins is a breath of fresh air.

Until I recently closed my company, I'd been with Chris and the team at Maslins for 6 years and have always found them... to be super helpful.In all that time there has never been an instance where I didn't get an email reply within a couple of hours. If someone is on holiday their email is *always* monitored by another member of the team so you never have to chase things.I can honestly say I'd go back to them again if I have another company.read more

I have been with Maslins for over a year now. Excellent! Cheaper than my last accountant, great customer service, fast... response to queries, very good communication, they deal with everything very quickly, very professionally.

Maslins was the third contractor accountancy I signed up with after having a very poor experience with two of the... bigger firms. I'd previously been let down by poor advice, poor communication and online software that didn't work properly. I initially found the Freeagent contractor accountancy software and loved the look of the product and the feedback it was getting. I then looked for an accountants that used the software and came up with a shortlist. I did a lot of background research into the companies on my shortlist and found a lot of contractor forum posts recommending Maslins with no negative comments. I signed up with Maslins and have found they have always gone above and beyond my expectations. They have always been on hand to give advice and have never let me down in the slightest. I've always been able to ring or email them and get the advice I need immediately. They've also been great at chasing me to get things done on time which isn't always easy when you're a busy contractor! I have no hesitation in recommending Maslins!read more
