What do our clients have to say about our accounting services?

“We have worked with Rayner Essex since setting up our limited company over five years ago. Since then, they have been efficient and absolutely trustworthy in the preparation of our annual accounts, and in providing advice and expertise to our small business across many different areas. We feel very lucky to have worked with Lucy Ghawss as our main contact consistently during this time.

Despite being a smaller client, we have always felt the highest priority. Regular check-ins and reminders of key upcoming dates have helped us keep our company finances on track. We find replies to our email enquiries are prompt and courteous, and that Lucy has always been willing to set up zoom and face-to-face meetings where a longer chat would be helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending Rayner Essex and Lucy Ghawss in particular!”
