Can't recommend Maslins enough - totally across their brief, highly organised and proactive in making sure everything gets done in plenty of time. A very good experience.

I've been really impressed with the service from Maslins throughout my time as a client, and would wholeheartedly recommend them to to any consultant looking for an accountant.

DCHme Limited

23:44 23 Feb 25

Great company and level of support and advice has been excellent.
Ollie has been really helpful and has dealt with my queries in a timely and friendly manner. I would thoroughly recommend.

Graham Rivers-Brown

10:06 21 Feb 25

Maslins have been excellent with supporting me as an IT consultant. They are responsive to emails, usually replying within an hour and have available as needed for a phone call for more complex enquiries. They review things I do in Free Agent and flag anything that comes up. They have also helped with my self-assessment which made that much easier.
Shout out to Mike and Cameron who are the ones that supported me and have been fab!

I'd have no hesitation at all in recommending Maslins, or in using them again if I re-enter the world of contracting. Ever since they became my accountants in 2018 the whole experience has been buttery smooth. When I do have a query they're always quick with a helpful response. But by-and-large things just happen seamlessly in the background, with timely reminders from them whenever I need to do something. A real model of what a modern, customer-focused accountancy firm can be. If there was a Maslins for organising all the other bits of my life I'd sign up in a heartbeat 🙂

Eva Harrison

Been with Maslins for years, always extremely efficient and helpful. Highly recommended.

Pete Wilshaw

08:16 31 Jan 25

Maslins are a fantastic accountancy, quick to respond to queries, and offer great advice when it's required without being overly intrusive. For me it struck the perfect balance. Big thank you to Bradley who was readily available to answer all my questions.

Simon Friend

17:14 30 Jan 25

Really good service form Maslins, I'd recently lost my accountant who left me in a bit of a bind but Maslins did a great job getting me all fixed up and back on track. Would highly recommend them.

Andre Omietanski

12:42 28 Jan 25

Excellent services and practical advice and help in assisting me in connection with my UK ltd set up and maintenance and general advice. Highly recommend.

Martin Hill

15:29 16 Jan 25

I can't say enough good things about Maslin's. So much better than any other accounting service I've used. They just tick all the boxes - modern and tech enabled whilst remaining personal, responsive and knowledgeable. They're always happy to answer questions, there's no hidden fees unlike other firms I've used. The digital tools they use make life easy and are massive time savers. And their pricing is competitive too! I'd give 6 stars if I could.

Nikos Fragopanagos

10:32 02 Jan 25

Very friendly yet highly professional and knowledgeable team at Maslins, especially Ollie and Tariq who dealt with the closure of my company in a quick and efficient way explaining everything very clearly, would highly recommend!

Today I called about transferring substantial money to my son.
Accountant called me back soon. He was so wonderful and repeating kindly. I was so impressed. Brilliant result. ( Mrs Macaulay)

Benn W

07:18 21 Oct 24

I moved to Maslins at the beginning of the year after my previous accountant made a lot of errors and it's one of the best decisions I've made.
There's really nothing negative I can say about Maslins; their service and care have been absolutely fantastic.
I've mainly dealt with Bradley & John from the team, both of whom are a real asset to the business. There have often been times when I've needed a second opinion on really complex tax questions, and they've both been extremely knowledgeable and keen to help.
I really couldn't recommend Maslins more highly.

Nick H

09:26 18 Oct 24

The only accountant who chased me instead of the other way around. Annual accounts, VAT returns, PAYE and self assessment were all filed well ahead of deadlines. Superb job, cannot recommend highly enough.

Bill Curry

13:16 16 Oct 24

I've been working with Maslins for the past few years. Highly recommended - very knowledgeable, quick to help and never any mistakes.

Mike McCartney

10:59 15 Oct 24

I have been contracting for 12 years and in all my time Maslins have been hands down by far the best accountants I have used. From day 1 I was impressed by their efficiency, friendliness and willingness to pro-actively go that extra mile to help. They have also been great value for money which is what attracted me initially but rapidly became unimportant given the quality of service. Thoroughly recommended.

Otto Espinoza

18:05 24 Sep 24

Nothing short of exceptional.
Since the moment I send an enquiry, they behaved professionally and were thorough with their advice.

They are a safe pair of hands.

Can't recommend them hard enough.

adrian woodcock

08:23 19 Jul 24

When I had a small company Maslins made it easy for me to open and set up the company. Through freeagent it was easy to manage, any questions I had were promptly answered from the team.
Highly recommend.

Sophie Budgen

20:22 17 Jul 24

Amazing. I honestly do not have one negative thing to say! Bradley and John have been fantastic in dealing my company accounts. All of my queries were answered within less than a day and real effort was made to ensure I was kept up to date and fully understood process and next steps. Absolute pleasure to work with, I could not recommend highly enough

Lois Smith

09:30 26 Jun 24

Julie and the Maslins team are responsive, efficient, clear, reliable and technically sound. Not to mention patient with our various questions! We would highly recommend - as we have to various friends.

Maslins have been great throughout the company formation until the end. Always quick and clear with their instructions. Best accountants I've worked with!

Matt

11:18 29 Apr 24

Maslins have been great in the years that I've been with them. Bradley in particular has been very helpful, has always answered my questions (no matter how silly they were at the beginning!) and provided great support and assistance. I would recommend them to anyone looking for accountancy services. Their use of Freeagent has been great with all the benefits that brings(especially coming from a previous firm who only used spreadsheets!). Many thanks Maslins and specifically Bradley.

Adam Williamson

10:21 11 Apr 24

Consistently excellent service for a freelance Ltd based business, which particularly stood out and saved me money and time when I became non-resident for UK tax.

Cameron Carmichael Alonso

16:58 23 Feb 24

The team at Maslins are just outstanding and always lovely to interact with. I've been using their services for several years now and they are incredibly quick to respond to any questions, and proactive in providing info that is specific to my situation.

They keep technical communication simple but their expertise and eagerness to help always shows, which really takes a lot of stress out of running a business. Thanks so much to Julie and Ollie for making this process feel so effortless for me, it's really appreciated!

David Potter

15:15 10 Feb 24

Excellent service and always happy to help. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to start a limited company, especially if you are a contractor.

Peter Down

10:09 31 Jan 24

I can't recommend highly enough - had a very smooth experience firing up a ltd company, handling and advising on sensible tax positions. My contact Ollie was professional and efficient, responding to my emails and queries very promptly. Good value too when compared to the competition. V Good!

Adam Simmonds

20:55 29 Jan 24

Thank you so much to Bradley at Maslins for helping me out. As a new business, I was extremely stressed about our finances, and he helped me solve my issues of the last 2-years in 2/3 weeks. Thanks to John as well for the contact!

Fiona Mccarvill

11:51 30 Dec 23

Maslins has provided me with an excellent service for my company and personal accounts over 5 years. The team are easily accessible, promptly responding to questions and requests for advise in a friendly and professional manner.

The Maslins team are simply incredible! They helped me start my business 5 years ago, walking me through every step of the way. Since then, they have always been on hand to help with queries no matter how big or small allowing me to focus on my business knowing I'm in safe hands. They're speedy, friendly and no question is ever silly and their updates and explanations are always easy to understand. I really cannot recommend them more highly. The whole team are simply fantastic!

Will Lawrence

08:42 06 Dec 23

I started using Maslin's when I first started freelancing over 6 years ago. They've been exemplary, are always on hand to help and have been been pivotal in helping our business grow.
Would highly recommend them to any freelancer or contractor looking for an accountancy firm.

Massimiliano Faustini

12:10 30 Nov 23

As a contractor software developer for several years in UK, I had the pleasure to have Maslins as my accountants.

The provided service was simply awesome, their system is simple and easy to use, and it allows to have all the situation at hand at any time.

The few remaining questions of mine have been always answered quickly and effectively.

Value for money is quite high.
Staff is friendly and competent.
Never an issue.
Definitely advisable.

Joe Brady

03:58 27 Nov 23

Consistently great service. Everyone who I've communicated with at Maslins has been very knowledgeable, helpful, and of course accurate. Very fast responses, to all of the questions I've asked over the years. 10/10, would recommend to any contractors.

Dan Gough

16:36 24 Nov 23

We are moving away from Maslins now that we have grown considerably. But, it really has been the biggest pleasure working with them. They are fast to reply, give brilliant advice and are all kind.

E-mail comms are always straight forward and you're never left guessing what you need to do.

I have and will continue to recommend Maslins to any freelancer or small business that even utters the word "accountants"

Very thankful for their help through our stages of growth and wish them every success going forwards.

phil ratcliffe

16:22 24 Nov 23

I've been with Maslins for several years, and I can confidently say they are the finest accountancy firm I've ever worked with. Their team is not only exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable, but also incredibly responsive; I usually receive answers to my queries within minutes, complete with all the information I need. A special shout out to Julie, my accountant, whose support and guidance is amazing. I highly recommend Maslins to anyone in need of top-notch accountancy services.

Dhruv AHUJA

15:13 22 Nov 23

Simply the most reliable accountants for your contracting business. I have been with them since 2017 and they've helped with even a complex multi company structure and bootstrapping another business. Things are kept simple with minimal for me to do otherwise. And they're always on top of any filing dates. I always forward their annual tax outlook blog post to all my colleagues too!

Colm McMullan

13:50 29 Sep 23

Superb service. I’ve been a client since 2016 and Maslins have taken perfect care of my accounting needs ever since. Clear explanations, proactive advice and not a single issue I can think of during that time. Highly recommended.

La De La Studio

08:51 28 Sep 23

After years of working with various accountants and assuming that managing accounts and taxes would be a consistently stressful and confusing aspect of business - switching to Maslins has been a game-changer. Suddenly, that side of work is significantly more manageable, stress-free, and there's a reassuring sense of being in safe and capable hands. Top work, Maslins.

Katie Wooding

14:13 14 Sep 23

Working with the team at Maslins is a delight, everything is stress free. The team are lovely and helpful, the software makes everything quick and easy. The other accountants we used charged more, were less helpful, less responsive and created more work for me. The time and money saved working with Maslins has been fantastic and I am never grumpy about doing accounts tasks now.

Lorne Mitchell

11:01 13 Sep 23

I've been with Maslins for over 12 years and have found them to be excellent. They give sound advice and help me meet the various deadlines for corporation tax, VAT and personal tax returns. Highly recommended.

Andrew Stewart

10:35 30 Aug 23

Maslins (specifically Tom Saunders) are friendly, pro-active, and competent. Everything gets taken care of well in advance of the deadlines. And it's great having a fixed monthly cost instead of unknown, large bills once or twice a year.

Tania Leung

11:55 25 Aug 23

I’m thrilled to share my wonderful experience with Julie from Maslins Accountants. Julie’s friendly and patient approach made a significant impact, especially when I was setting up my contracting job.

Julie’s friendliness and willingness to guide me through the intricacies of starting my contracting venture were truly invaluable. Her expertise was evident at every step, making the process seem less overwhelming.

What stands out is Julie’s ongoing support; she’s consistently responsive and eager to help whenever I have questions. Her assistance extends beyond the initial setup, making her an invaluable resource.

I’m thankful to have Julie and the Maslins team as a part of my contracting journey.

Marc Lee

09:46 23 Jul 23

Maslins is exceptional in every way. Handled my accounts for 5 - 6 years & I honestly can't recommend them enough.

The software (FreeAgent) makes it simple to keep everything up-to-date & the lovely people at Maslins take care of the rest (payroll, all necessary tax / company returns, etc).

Any questions are answered super fast. I can't recall it ever taking even an hour for one of the team to respond during working hours.

You can just relax knowing that accounts are perfectly maintained (with absolutely minimal effort on your part) & concentrate on operating your business.

I couldn't have asked for a better service.

Don't bother researching any further. Maslins is all you need.

Chris Preece

09:10 10 Jul 23

Maslins was recommended to me by a colleague. I'd had 3 accountants over a 4 year period previously, and all had been very, very poor. The contrast when I moved to Maslins was like night and day. The quality and level of service is superb. The whole team is incredibly pro-active. They understand that you're not the tax expert and will take time to ensure everything is understood and correct. I cannot recommend Maslins highly enough. They take care of everything that you need and allow you to get on with all the things that you're good at.

Richard Annand

10:22 16 Jun 23

I have been with Maslins for over a year now and have to say the level of service is exceptional. Julie has been my main point of contact, but I have also had contact with Bradley and Ollie. They are all always on hand to help, especially in the first few months of trading when I was getting my head around being self-employed. I highly recommend Maslins.

I've had a Ltd. for 10+ years as a design studio. After having various accountants I can 100% vouch for Maslins as being the best I've met. Very quick, great communication. Everything is sorted almost instantly.

Mark Campion

12:17 18 May 23

Maslins were my accountant for the best part of 8 years, and not at one single point did I ever feel they were anything other than exceptional. Never did they fail to answer my queries. Always available over email or phone. And always offered timely advice when maybe I had overlooked something.

The integration with Freeagent is so simple too, rather than some in-house system that previous accountants had offered.

A particular shout to Julie who was my accountant there... it was all down to her that makes it easy to give five stars.

Samuel W

17:44 27 Mar 23

I've been using Maslins for my company accounts since I opened (July 2019ish) and they've just wrapped up my final closing accounts now that I've finished trading.

Julie has been my main point of contact throughout and she has been incredible. She's always got back to me quickly with detailed, accurate information. Her patience dealing with my follow-up questions, when I've wanted to dig into the specifics (probably more than I needed to, to be honest), has also been commendable.

Access to FreeAgent as part of the package made tracking company finances feel a lot less stressful as well. Great choice of a piece of software that made my life (and presumably/hopefully theirs) a lot easier.

When Julie's been away, another member of the team has always picked up from her seamlessly and there's been no interruption to the high quality service. Would absolutely recommend Maslins to anyone else for their small business accounting.

Joe Beeston

11:57 07 Mar 23

Maslins are a breath of fresh air compared to my previous internet based 'contractor focused' accountancy. Extremely flexible, super quick when responding to emails and very knowledgeable. Julie and Bradley are excellent and always look after me!

I moved away from one of the biggest internet based contractor accountant firms as I got fed up with slow response times, multiple layers of dressed up customer service teams (not Accountants) and an online book keeping tool that was inflexible to my specific needs.

Since moving to Maslins and using their preferred book keeping tool (FreeAgent) it has been so much easier to manage my book keeping and financial affairs, including the other non contracting revenue streams I have.

I really appreciate having instant access to highly skilled and knowledgeable Accountants, who are always quick to respond and happy to help whenever required.

Susana Rios

19:55 09 Feb 23

For the past few weeks, I've been in conversations with Daniela discussing the possibility of becoming an Ltd (I'm currently a Sole Trader). We talked on the phone and email. She was very patient, quick replying and very helpful answering all my questions. She didn't push me into making any decisions. She was always very clear on the advantages and disadvantages of all the options, so I could decide what was best for me and my business.

After a lot of thought, I ended up choosing to stay as a Sole Trader. However, I really wanted to drop a note here to say how friendly and nice Daniela was. I had a really good feeling during the whole process, it sounded like a great company to trust your business with 🙂

Paul Archer

14:26 01 Jan 23

I have been using Maslins as my accountant for many years. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone running a small business.
They are professional, friendly, efficient, and very knowledgeable.

Daniel Love

00:13 20 Dec 22

I only worked with Maslins (Tom in particular) for a short while, but they've really impressed me. Very quick to respond to queries, succinct, no nonsense and accurate advice, which is exactly what you'd want from an accountant. Local small business, with employees having a real stake in the business is what brought me in (having dealt with a large company were you'd never get reply, or where every email came from a different name you've never heard from before, or again). But here, at Maslins, it actually felt like they *wanted* my business! There aren't a lot of companies that I'd willingly recommend, but Maslins is one.

Francois Dupoux

21:39 22 Nov 22

I had other accountants before, and I have been with Maslins for more than four years. It is definitely the best service I had. I have been in contact with multiple members of the team over the years, and they are all very knowledgeable. They have always been able to provide useful advice and accurate answer all my questions. I always had quick responses to my emails, and if I send en email to a person who is away, I get a response from another member of the team. All the paperwork such as quarterly returns and annual accounts have always been prepared correctly and well ahead of the deadlines. Also they work with FreeAgent which is really important. I can strongly recommend their service.

Richard Shuttlewood

09:50 13 Oct 22

I have used 4 different firms over 30 years and Maslins is head and shoulders over the rest. Quick to respond, very attentive to detail and a pleasure to work with. They go the extra mile for anything whether routine or out of the ordinary and I am happy to recommend them.

Paolo Polce

06:44 05 Sep 22

I have been with Maslins for five years.
They are very efficient, knowledgeable, friendly and fast.
Their service has been consistently brilliant throughout these years, and I wish I had transferred to Maslins sooner!
I am very grateful to Julie, Bradley and the rest of the team for their support and professionalism.
Thank you!

Richard Allen

14:37 11 Aug 22

Maslins have provided me fantastic support over the years for my micro Company.
From Limited Company setup through to the various monthly, quarterly and annual returns, they have provided me timely reminders of my required submissions, answered all my queries,
and advised me on the best use of FreeAgent.
I appreciate the control I retain through my own bookkeeping and funding decisions that FreeAgent and Maslins allow. I'd never go back to a remote Accountant who keep all the Accounts hidden-away on their own systems.

Mark Burns

11:01 01 Aug 22

Maslins have done my accounts for years. They've always been knowledgeable, diligent, incredibly helpful, prompt at responding, they have a keen eye for detail and can answer any queries very effectively. It's great dealing with a company that are responsive to email and perfectly understand any query you have. I've worked with other firms in the past and the level of service doesn't come close to Maslins.

It's great that they are employee owned and you really get the sense this means they care more about the business.

It's nice and simple using FreeAgent and makes it super easy discussing any issues as you can share links to the exact transaction or report etc. They're also great for keeping you on top of everything involved in running a company in terms of VAT/PAYE/Corporation tax/Self assessment etc.

I'm leaving a review now because I'm closing down my company, but I'm sure I'll be back with them again if I am to set up a new company in the future.

Claire Pettifor

09:48 29 Jul 22

Super efficient, fast and friendly service from Gareth at Maslins. He answered my questions quickly and made the whole process so simple and easy - everything I look for when dealing with taxes! I can't recommend Maslins highly enough.

Samantha McIntyre

11:17 13 Jul 22

Seven years with Maslins (only left as my employment status changed) - and they were fantastic! So proactive to make sure I was always on top of things, and so quick to respond to any query I had. Thank you so much! Couldn’t recommend Maslins highly enough!

Parveen Paleker

13:40 27 Jun 22

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!

Eugene o'brien

12:46 17 Jun 22

After having some really bad experiences with previous accountants Maslins have been a breath of fresh air. Incredibly easy to use software and a really supportive reliable team who answer all my queries really quickly.

I feel confident that my accounts are in safe hands and I can actually focus more on my business. Highly recommended!

Joe Wright

22:56 16 Jun 22

I've been with Maslins for four great years. They are quick, clear and informative in all their communication. Their newsletter after government changes always set my mind at ease rather than panicking.

If you want an easy and calm life with your accountant, choose Gareth Shaw and Maslins.

Mark Barrett

09:47 07 Jun 22

It's been a month since I signed up with Maslins after googling around. I'm happy to report that it's been a brilliant on-boarding process. Tom has been great about getting back to me on the same day with any questions I had, and he has guided me through the process of setting up as a company perfectly. I don't really do reviews, but this has been been spot on. Thanks Tom

Sarah Hughes

07:00 27 May 22

I’ve been with Maslins for 4 years. They are incredibly supportive and helpful and always respond quickly with relevant advice and guidance. I’d recommend them to anyone just setting up or running a micro business or starting out as a freelancer. Their service has been invaluable to me and my business.

Nelson Castro

10:37 27 Apr 22

Superb services, as a first time contractor and not knowing where to start. Julie Falchevska is a total rock star, super responsive, she helped me with all of my questions and set up, explained everything very simply to me. Very highly recommended.

I also had support from Bradley Cemm who really went into the details of explaining concerns I had.

Thanks Maslins for the great experience.

Pip Robbins

05:09 23 Mar 22

I would highly recommend Maslins.

Gareth and the rest of the team have been a real pleasure to work with, they are very knowledgeable, friendly, prompt and take the time to explain everything. It's really taken the burden off running a limited company and allowed me to focus on proving a service.

Richard Holloway

14:56 28 Feb 22

I have been with Maslins for three years. During that time they have brilliant - they respond quickly to questions and give good advice. The hookup with Freeagent to manage everything online makes everything so much easier than my experience with other accountants. I would recommend them to anyone.

Ernest Akinlola

11:54 28 Feb 22

Since retaining Maslins in 2016, I have found them supportive, attentive and professional in every aspect of my affairs.
What I particularly like is that everyone seems to be up to speed on your status so if on person isnt available the ball is never dropped.

Graham Borland

17:40 08 Feb 22

Brilliant accountants! Never had to wait more than a couple of hours for an answer to a question, very personal service. I would happily recommend Maslins to anyone in the freelancing/contracting world.

Paul Turner

12:27 27 Jan 22

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!

Nick Heppleston

21:45 25 Jan 22

I used Maslins to support my contracting company for several years and would highly recommend their services to any contractor or freelancer looking to take on the services of an accountant.

The were professional and responsive at all times and chased me with good humour when I took returns to the deadline.

Of particular interest to me was the FreeAgent licence that was included in their monthly offering - a fantastic benefit for using their service.

Highly recommended!

Jon K

12:53 13 Jan 22

A pleasure to deal with, always prompt when replying to questions and queries. Gave good advice on company finances.

Tom Dyson

10:18 07 Jan 22

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!

Kieran Marron

09:15 06 Jan 22

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!

Stuart Coleman

09:57 15 Nov 21

Really fantastic team at Maslins. Responsive, smart and a great personal touch too. Highly recommended if you're a small business or lone trader.

Little Heron

10:04 24 Aug 21

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!

Kévin Etienne

07:55 18 Aug 21

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.

Dorota Krzyzaniak

11:50 31 Jul 21

Maslins have been my accountants for the last 7 years since I started my company. Any problem or request I had over the years were was dealt quickly, any question answered promptly and exhaustively. Highly recommended!

Steve Abraham

09:37 13 Jul 21

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.

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!

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!

I recently made the switch from Sole Trader to Ltd company and can't speak highly enough of the teams patience and help they have given me through the process. They are always very quick to respond to questions, and explain everything in a very simple, easy to follow manner. Highly recommended.

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.

Had a great experience. Maslins have tons of expertise and are excellent communicators. The turnaround times were quick. Will be using them again and am happy to recommend!

Maslins have been fantastic support for my small business over the years.

Truly made running a business easier for us, helped answer all our questions (very quickly!) and took the weight of us when it came all things related to managing our accounts.

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.

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.

Jeremy Gray

16:14 04 Jun 20

All the 5* reviews are 100% justified. I have used Maslins for many years and Chris, Moira, Gareth and Leanne are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They are responsive to queries, remember you by name and always follow up. Thoroughly recommended.

Joshua Perry

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!

James Marshall

12:54 03 Jun 20

I have had a very positive experience using Maslins. They are always incredibly quick to reply and always provide the support and guidance I need. Their information is always super clear and I simply can't rate them highly enough. Had I not closed down my company then I would be continuing to use them.

Michael Jeffcoat

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.

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.

Matthew Walker

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!

Esther Rose Bevan

20:25 28 Apr 20

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.

Dev Devani

15:30 23 Apr 20

From start to finish the service has been impeccable. Very helpful and answered/helped with the simplest questions. Prompt responses every time even when my main contact was on holiday. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a quality professional service

It has been a pleasure to use Maslins for the last seven(ish) years. Their professionalism and expertise took all the stress out of the management of my company's accounting enabling me to focus on running my business without worry. If I ever find myself in need of accountancy services in the future, Maslins will be my first call.

I used Maslins as my accounts for my small business. Their level of service was exceptional and knowledge of accounts flawless. I would highly recommend their services.
The level of detail and communication is top class.

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.

Kieran Everett

(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.

Beccy Stafford

10:54 23 Dec 19

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!

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!

Jeremy Allan

07:05 15 Dec 19

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.

Rob Nightingale

23:29 08 Dec 19

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.

Nick Shaw

14:53 05 Dec 19

These guys are fantastic. Helped us right from starting up to becoming established. Wouldn't
hesitate whole-heartedly recommend. Most queries I've sent them have been answered in minutes, but always same day.

James Dixon

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!!

Dan Lister

I've used Maslins for just over 7 years. I can not recommend them highly enough. They are absolutely fantastic bunch of people who are always willing to help. Their response times are fantastic.

Tomas Brunsdon

07:57 24 Sep 19

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!

Hamid Afshar

10:43 16 Sep 19

Thank you Maslins. An excellent modern accounting company to work with. They are always responsive and take great care in explaining stuff that would not otherwise make sense to me. A particularly big thanks to Julie and Ruth as they are my main points of contact and it is great to have them around.

Great accountancy firm, did my books for 3 years. Very responsive and the accountancy (online) tools they use are easy to use and understand.

Theo Felippe

08:20 27 Aug 19

Excellent service. Being new to contracting, I felt a little over-whelmed at first. But Chris and his team did an excellent job at making me feel well looked after and that I could rest assured there would be no surprises around the corner. Can't recommend it enough.

Umberto Garozzo

14:44 19 Jun 19

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.

James Killick

17:02 14 May 19

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.

Martin Harris

11:18 10 May 19

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.

Darian Moody

00:07 26 Mar 19

Simply the best.

I'd spent 5 long, sour years at Crunch.co.uk before finally being irked enough to look for a decent accountant - and I couldn't have found a better team.

Thank you Julie, Ruth & Chris for making my life much easier than it would otherwise be.

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!
