Good morning Seb, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review and 5*.
It's great to hear how easy it's been to move over to us, and that the team have been so responsive and helpful. We'll make sure they see your kind words, thank you again.
Great contractor accountants
I switched to SG following a spell of poor performance by my previous accountants and have never regretted the move. All the routine work has been done promptly and proactively and I have always been able to get sound advice on demand for more complex matters when I've needed it. Now I am winding up my business after a successful contracting career, they have provided clear and detailed advice on the process, introduced me to an efficient liquidator, and completed the cessation accounts in double quick time. Highly recommended

Very professional services. It is the first time I am running business through my limited company and SG Accouting has given me the confidence that everything is in hand over the first company year. Quick responses to questions and helpful reminders anytime action is needed regarding company taxes, self-assessment and VAT returns. Also quite happy with the payroll system.

SG 5 Star Review.
SG 5 Star Review.
SG provided a 5 Star service.
They have helped me in many ways. For example when I had a tax demand from HMRC even though I was contracting inside IR35. They resovled this and I did not have to pay.
If I ever have an issue or require advice they reply in 24 hours if not sooner.
I have been with SG ouside and inside IR35 for over 20 years now. The team are superb. Also SG's fees are very resonable providing all the required contracting insurance's built in.
If you are new to contracting or wish to change / join an excellent accountant then SG are the people for you.

Expertise and experience for contractors like me
The team and Dean just make the administration of my limited company as simple and efficient as is possible. The specialists keep track of all the due dates for accounts, VAT, annual returns etc for me and provide the tools to make my input easy. Their focus on supporting contractors brings experience and expertise that they provide proactively. They are also always very responsive to my questions, however basic or complicated.

Contractor Accounting - Look no further
I switched to SG for contractor accountancy services about a year and a half ago, and they have been exceptional.
They are fast to respond to any questions with clear, and professional advice.
My dedicated account manager, Dean, and his team have answered all my, (many), questions and I feel I can trust them with tax and accountancy advice. A particular shout out to Charlotte Mountain for her help with my Corp Tax!
Highly recommended.

Very happy with the service
I was initially sceptical about moving to a national online accountancy firm, but I did not need to worry. There are various specialists, but everything joins up seamlessly, and you get a dedicated account manager. Everybody is professional, knowledgeable and they respond promptly to queries. They were even on hand to support with using FreeAgent for the first time. I am very happy with the service and would recommend SG for freelancers and small business owners.
