SG Accounting Reviews 

SG Accounting provides access to FreeAgent as part of their services and the onboarding session their Accounts Consultant (Thomas A) provided was absolutely top tier.
He walked me through each of the key areas step-by-step and pointed out useful information as we went. Even when I deviated the topic to some general accountancy queries linked to the FreeAgent tab we were discussing at the time, he answered my query with full knowledge & background information. He also followed up very quickly in an email a side query I had regarding VAT calculations and provided the numbers behind it.
At the end of our call, not only do I feel fully comfortable with using FreeAgent, but I understood & learnt a lot more about managing my business accounts thanks to Tom.

I haven’t been with the company for long but transferring to them has been a seamless and easy process and I am glad I did it. They offer a professional and very helpful service. I have spoken with Laura Hepworth a couple of times since joining a few months ago and she was brilliant in resolving my concerns and queries about my company accounting. Highly recommended.

I recently signed up with SG Accounting to manage the accounts for my small limited company, and am very happy with the service I've received so far. My designated account manager, Laura, has been great - very responsive to my queries via email, and thorough in our introductory call. The compliance team have also been proactive and efficient with various filing obligations, which really helps take the weight off when you're juggling multiple other things as a small business owner.
I spoke with a quite a few different firms (national, local and online) before I decided to go with SG, and felt they offered the best value for money, and a more personalised service.

Bigoted and lately incompetent service.

While our journey started great a few years ago, it quickly turned for the worse. When I transitioned and wanted them to update my details, my emails went unanswered for a month. Then, when they finally answered, I was fed a bunch of complete nonsense by their 'compliance' team and was also told that I should report myself to the police, as otherwise, they cannot establish my identity.

It's not just wrong but outright insulting to tell a trans person to report themselves to the police over the simple act of a name change via Deed Poll, as is the legal way in the UK.

This was followed by more legal nonsense and made-up requirements, which can only feel like a continued bigoted attack on a trans person in 2024. Until that point, they were happy to take my money.

Unthinkable. Avoid like the plague.

Dean Lacey provides an excellent service. As somebody who is new to running a Limited Company, he is instrumental to helping me put arrangements into place on time in a fast paced workplace. I usually have about 50 questions, and his knowledge and expertise mean he is able to answer pretty much everything straight off the bat. Highly recommended.

I've worked with SG Accounting for various years and am thoroughly impressed. Their efficiency, professionalism, and punctuality surpass previous firms we've partnered with. Notably, Thomas and Carlotte expertly handled a critical task of reviewing all our bills submitted just 2 hours before a deadline, showcasing their ability to prioritize and execute tasks swiftly without compromising on diligence.

SG Accounting consistently goes beyond our expectations, proving themselves as not just a service provider but a valuable business partner. Sarah explains information relevant to us as required and provides valuable advice as needed. Their commitment and performance are exceptional, making them highly recommendable for any business in need of reliable accounting services.

I am very happy with the service from SG accounting. I have the package with the app which is great for expenses. My personal client Director is Alex and he is very responsive to queries. He is knowledgeable and his advice always ensures you are on the right side of tax laws. Being new to business tax, this has made life easy and given me the tax savings advice to help with income strategy and correct tax liabilities.

Excellent service. Always very helpful and quick to respond when I need any advice. Would highly recommend.

A special metion to both Sarah who helps me with my general day to day accounting and Dean who has helped greatly with my recent enquiries regarding a company car.

Especially dealing with Kerry and her team in the accounts department has been a pleasure. Always prompt and looking at things holistically.

I came to know about SG Accounting from my colleague and joined them 2 years back. It was the first time for me entering the contracting world after working in permanent roles for more than 2 decades. It was a nice experience. My accounting manager Alex Gould and the SG team are very good at explaining the accounting fundamentals. They took care of setting up everything from the beginning. I always get my queries answered on time with a quick turn-around time. They manage very well and do finish VATs/Self-Assessments/Corp-Tax etc activities on time. They monitor monthly-spreadsheets and make corrections if needed. They helped recently by providing me the required documents immediately when I had to provide a few documents to solicitors urgently as part of re-mortgage, home-buy, and other stuff. Thank you very much for your brilliant support and exceptional service.

I highly recommend SG Accounting. They are very professional and very helpful. Most importantly of all, they are always on time for filing returns and meeting all deadlines required. Been with them for more than a year and hope for it to stay this way for years to come.

SG Accounting has been taking care of my business for a year now. They are extremely professional, giving the best advice, and sending multiple reminders if needed to submit any documents. Respond to every question very fast. 11/10

SG Accounting offer great value for money services! I still need the extra support I need running an IT consulting company without having to pay extra in the majority of cases. They are very correct in offering speedy feedback. Great experience the last few years.

I have been using SG Accounting for one year and have had extensive dealings with almost every team within their firm.

Every single one of them, every time, has been polite, professional, proactive and incredibly helpful. Their responses are timely, fulsome and their advice is top-notch.

It is a genuine pleasure dealing with each of them, although a special shout out for Sarah Holland and Amanda Griffiths, who go above and beyond every time!

I have known Rich Murray and so many of the team for about 12 years or more, before SG, and when Rich moved to SG, I moved my accounts over to them too. Everyone has always been so friendly and helpful - extremely personable and professional, they're all like a family - I cannot recommend SG Accounting enough. Nothing is a problem for anyone - fantastic communication, so responsive and flexible to my needs whether I am contracting or taking a break. Huge thanks to Alex for a really helpful discussion recently too. SG team - you are all awesome!

My third accountant and the best. Everyone can support me with Freeagent. Whenever I have a question they answer quickly. Fees are reasonable.

I can't explain how much I have benefited from using SG Accounting Services. Before I started using them I spent hours on my accounts and didn't have visibility of how much I owed to HMRC, VAT, etc. Their software make it super easy to keep track of your accounts and the team are quite simply 'Brilliant'. Big shout out to Alex Gould who has helped me more than he will ever know.

I've been a client since 1996 and can only say good things about Sarah and her team

Never ever again, incompetent, unprofessional, ridiculous communication, overpriced.

I moved to SG from a large accountancy firm where I felt like a number and didn’t receive the tax planning advice I needed. After some initial teething problems, I requested some changes to my service and SG were very accommodating and even replaced my account controller with a new staff member. Since then Kerry who now handles my file has been nothing but exemplary. She is always attentive and available to provide clear and informed advice. Her friendly telephone manner and willingness to answer any question however basic or complex is an asset to SG. Huge thanks to Kerry for navigating me and my limited company through what felt like a challenging situation. I feel like I am in safe hands.
