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'm very impressed by how my company was handled by Maslins. I'm not very good with deadlines and dealing with the... HRMC. Maslins has made everything easy for me. You rarely find people who can deliver, are honest and are friendly at the same time. Thank you for all work you provided me and I would not hesitate to recommend you.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'm a sole director and have been using Maslins for over a year now. They've been excellent. Great support, very... responsive, professional and nice people, plus the Freeagent software that is included in the package works really well for me. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Great to hear they've just become an employee owned business too!read more

Maslins were recommended to me by a fellow contractor and from start to finish they have been amazing! I set up my... business and didn’t really know what I was doing but they have been with me every step of the way. They are happy to explain what I needed to do and give me further clarification. I would highly recommend them!read more

I have been using Maslins for my ltd co. affairs for 4 years. I am only parting ways due to reformed HMRC legislation... that prohibits entrepreneurship, and it is with a heavy heart. Julie and the team have provided me with an incredible service and I cannot thank them enough! They are honest, professional, extremely good value for money and unbelievably responsive. I would recommend their services to any limited company contractor. A huge thank you to Julie, Chris and everyone else involved in making this a fantastic company to do with business with. All the best for the future, Chris.read more

Maslins are absolutely blooming marvellous. Highly available, super helpful and always professional. They're really... knowledgeable and sharp. Their eagle eyes have saved me a couple of times, and best of all they're actually proactive. If I don't respond promptly to something I need to do they chase me, which is a dream.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. They've never put a foot wrong, always giving me solutions, never problems. They're unfailingly patient with their clients. I've gone back to permanent employment recently, and I'm going to really miss Chris Maslin and his brilliant team.read more

This is the first accountancy firm I've ever used that I've really loved. They have their thing (contractor and simple... small business accounting) and they do it really well, for a very reasonable cost. As a tech industry person I am particularly fond of how automated their systems are. I would definitely recommend Maslins!read more

I've been with Maslins for about a decade and throughout that entire time their service has been outstanding in both... quality and value. The Freeagent software is otustanding and provides practically everything needed but on the few occasions where I've needed some additional help and support the Maslins team has always made themselves available and provided everything I've needed.read more

World class service and never to business to answer questions. I moved to Maslins from my previous (traditional)... accountant who I wasn't happy with. Once I joined they guided me through all the steps needed to setup new my business and have continued to provide exceptional services everytime I call.read more

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. Use of FreeAgent as part of the monthly fee is another bonus. Ruth Has been one of my main contacts throughout and she is very knowledgable and proactive. Great work!read more

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

It has been a pleasure to use Maslins for the last seven(ish) years.

Absolute life savers. Maslins are always quick to respond to any questions (and I've had many) and happy to help with... whatever is needed. They offer a great straight forward package at a very reasonable fee and none of the hidden charges that I've experienced with other accountants. I can't recommend Maslins highly enough.read more

(Review posted on behalf of Jodie Everett - Admin CoRe Limited). Can’t fault Maslins service at all - they are one of... the best accountants I have ever come across! Professional, reliable and extremely approachable. I went through 3 accountants before I found Maslins and just wish I’d found them first. A* service.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

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. They are responsive and proactive and ensure that by taking care of the... basics efficiently our conversations are about things that add value to my business. Julie especially has always been a pleasure to work with and has gone the extra mile researching additional information even when she has not always had an immediate answer to questions. Thank you for all your help.read more

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. They're brilliant... at translating the typical "accountant language" into something which is easy to understand. They've also introduced me to FreeAgent which has allowed me to manage my costs better and improve profits. Thank you!!read more

Absolutely outstanding. Probably the best company I've dealt with in any shape or form. I came to them just over a... year ago with minimal knowledge of accountancy and tax. Since the initial stages and helping me set up my company, they have been with me every step of the way and have always been on hand to help me with any issues I've had- frequently going above and beyond. I really can't recommend them enough!read more

Have used their services for a little over a year. Great experience, Julie is a terrific professional that has... provided a great service and explained me a lot of tax related topics in a very simple way to understand. The whole team has always been very quick in answering my e-mail/phone calls and even if a person is not available the others are up to speed with the customer situation.read more

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. The accounting software they want you to use (for free) called FreeAgent, is very easy to use and very good, via the web or on your phone. I happily recommend Maslins to colleagues. Best decision to move to Masli s.read more

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
