M Raza & Co. don't look much in reality, but their virtual presence is really impressive. I'm…read moreinclined to go with how well the website is presented, and overlook the offices that this firm of accountants inhabits. After all, their clients are paying them for how well they present information in electronic form, rather than whether they can consummately decorate a building! At M Raza & Co offer a full range of financial services to small and medium sized businesses across South Wales. Their key values are pretty straightforward: They offer a personal service, rather than treating you as an anonymous client, and they pride themselves on their quality of service, keeping customer satisfaction as their key objective. They also endeavour to offer value for money, because, as they say, "the last thing you need is another burden on your books". As a firm of Incorporated Financial Accountants they offer a broad range of services to business clients, handling everything from pay rolls to Management Accountancy roles. Fax: 0871 263 6255

I have used Mr Raza for accountancy services. He also provided me with very useful,informative…read moreadvcie on one of the business issue. It is a family run business and i find their services very professional. Having moved from another accountant one particular difference I have noticed is their swift communication with clients and addressing the specific concerns per se.

I love the idea of going to a firm of accountants to get my tax return done each year, but I really…read morecan't justify the expense, as I never seem to earn enough money! This is not because I'm lazy I hasten to add, but instead is due to the fact that I'm a sucker for 'good causes' and end up doing a fair amount of Pro Bono work each year... Great for the conscience, but not so great for my bank balance! If I were ever to earn enough money to warrant professional assistance with my accounts, then this is where I would come. I love their 'no nonsense' approach to laying out the facts, and essentially doing what they do best. In this respect accountants are completely cool in my estimations! They deal with the one thing that the rest of us seem to struggle with so often... or is it just me?! Don't think so! Tax Counter Ltd is totally geared up to deal with small fry like me, and so they are the obvious choice for sole traders and freelancers, who only require basic assistance with their annual tax returns. That's not to underestimate what these guys can do... they also perform the following services consummately: On-line filing system Business accounts Business advice Small businesses / Limited companies Payroll They also have a Chartered Accountant within the team Tax Counter Ltd also covers a broad area, reaching out to places as far away as Port Talbot if needed.

G Marino & Co. are a firm of Chartered Accountants and registered Auditors, which is pretty serious…read morestuff! But that's not to say that accountants can't be fun! In my early twenties I had a string of boyfriends who were accountants, which struck everyone as being more than a little odd. I went to art school, and was definitely a bit of a party animal, and so I guess that my friends couldn't quite figure out what I was doing dating 'stuffy, boring accountants', and no amount of explaining could convince them to review their opinions and move away from their image of the altogether unfair stereotype! The truth is that accountants rock! (in my experience at least!) Isn't it odd that men of words are considered cool and men of numbers are not! These are the two different languages with which we interpret and express what we see in our world... but I guess there is more room for artistic license where words are concerned!? I seem to digress! It's been known to happen! Now where was I? Oh yes, G Marino & Co... These accountants do it all! They perform company audits, prepare annual accounts, maintain monthly accounts, and handle book keeping and wages on behalf of their clients. They also handle tax returns and VAT returns. This means that they handle everything from individual accounts for self employed people to big business clients. They also handle business start-ups and corporate advice. And if that doesn't make them cool I don't know what will! If you don't agree, then just ask yourself this... Would you rather do your own accounts or get someone else to do them?

Ahmad & Co. are one of several Chartered Accountancy firms on Whitchurch Road. For some reason,…read morethat I can't quite figure out, this has become quite an accountancy enclave. It's likely that they have chosen to be here for the easy access it provides, or perhaps the business rates for the properties in this area are slightly less...? May be the local authorities offered incentives for accountants to set up shop here...?!? I don't know, but the one thing I am sure of is that they are not for the view! It's not so easy to find information about this firm as it is some of the others. They have seemingly a zero internet presence (so hopefully this review will help to amend this in some small way). As a firm of Chartered Accountants, Ahmad & Co. can perform every type of accountancy that they are called upon to handle. This is particularly true where Corporate clients are concerned. Nevertheless, they are also equipped to handle much smaller companies also.

Morgan Smith Partnership are just one of many accountants on Whitchurch Road. Some of them offer…read morelimited services and target the smaller clients, like small to medium sized businesses, and even handle personal tax returns, but a few are able to handle the bigger corporate clients. Morgan Smith Partnership is one of the firms that can do the lot! Being Chartered Certified Accountants as well as Registered Auditors, there is no accountancy client that they can't handle, making the one of two or three accountants on this street that can do this, despite there being well over ten accountants on the strip. I have not used this firm personally as my needs are not so grand, but I know a couple of business owners who relies on their services. One friend in particular treats their accountant as part of the company and keeps in regular contact. They justify the cost by telling me that it saves them money in the long run. I guess that this must be true, as they have experienced continued groth throughout the recession! Which is not bad!!!

Dowle Horrigan Chartered Accountants are in the right place! There are a couple of other Chartered…read moreAccountants on this commercial strip of Whitchurch Road, making the area a bit of a professional Mecca in some respects. As it also has a number of great cafes and restaurants, there's something to soften the blow of being informed that you face a hefty tax bill at the end of the financial year... cup of tea anyone! There's very little to differentiate Dowle Horrigan Chartered Accountants from G Marino & Co. just a little ways up the road. Both are Chartered Accountants and registered Auditors. So, essentially they both perform company audits, prepare annual accounts, maintain monthly accounts, and handle book keeping and wages on behalf of their clients. They also handle tax returns and VAT returns. This means that they manage everything from individual accounts for self employed people to big business clients. They also deal with business start-ups and offer corporate advice. There's one thing that Dowle Horrigan Chartered Accountants do that I don't think G Marino & Co. do... they also perform investigations... so anyone cooking the books had better watch out!
