Gardners - Chartered Accountants

I've been a floral designer for over 22 years and I love the creativity my business allows me to have. Crafting the perfect bouquet or arrangement still gives me great satisfaction and I love the positive reaction we get from clients when they see what my team have created.

That's why it's important for me to have total faith in my accountant. Dealing with things like VAT, tax and changing legislation as well as keeping up with the day to day running of my business can become too much to deal with, which is where Gardners come in.

We've been unfortunate enough to have two tax investigations in the last few years which were both extremely daunting. However, having Gardners by my side made a huge difference. Gardners are so efficient and proficient at what they do which means that the relationship they have with the tax office is excellent and made the whole process so much easier to deal with. Knowing my affairs are in such good hands helps me run my business better and more importantly - enjoy my business.

That said, what I really like about Gardners is the relationship you have with all the staff, not just with your accounts manager. Being able to pick up the phone and be on first name terms with everyone you speak to isn't something you always get from an accountant. At Gardners you build up great relationships and their personal approach makes it so much easier to sort out any issues before they ever become problems.
