About Us
Count On You has a growing reputation as one of the area’s most effective bookkeeping businesses for individual clients and small businesses. We can deal with all bookkeeping tasks from logging information to keeping records up to date and managing payroll, through to undertaking your VAT and tax returns. We also offer a comprehensive range of tax consultancy and accountancy services when required.
Count On You can not only provide bookkeeping and accounts expertise, but with years of experience in running a small number of businesses, we can provide some invaluable advice too!
In recognition of our beliefs and values which underpin our commitment to maximising the value we provide to our clients, we have been awarded a ‘Clear & Transparent Pricing Award’ by our partners GoProposal. This is about being able to show clients exactly what they’re getting and what that costs in a clear and transparent way. This award recognises and demonstrates to clients what we stand for and we are proud to have received this.
