- Andrea R2/28/2024I'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.read moreread lessAnnette Bergen1/31/2024Update Jan 2024: I have been with SG Accounting for almost 4 years now and would highly recommend them. They helped me with the initial process of setting up a limited company and they have done my company & personal tax returns ever since. SG Accounting are also great with ad hoc tax questions, such as my most recent query on purchasing an EV via my limited company. Olivia Stevens and Alex Gould were really helpful via phone & email and gave me all the info I needed to make an informed decision. Review from 2020: I switched to SG Accounting this year and I wish I had done it much earlier! I really feel appreciated as a client and I find them very responsive and approachable. Laura talked me through the process of setting up my own limited company and all the tax implications that come with that. The team then helped me with all the initial admin, even setting up a business bank account, which was a huge help and saved me a lot of time. I terms of day-to-day assistance, I can always email with questions and typically get a response the same day. There is a handy spreadsheet that the accounts team tally with my business bank account whenever I want, which is great. I also like their structured pricing with the different packages. I can really recommend this firm to anyone!read moreread lessJohannes12/05/2023I 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.read moreread lessPraveen Pinisetti12/05/2023I 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.read moreread less
- alexia fletcher10/03/2023I 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!read moreread less
- David Belnick7/24/2023I had a complex setup, with a non-trading Limited Company that was essentially mothballed for 10yrs, so when I started to take on Contract work again, I had no idea where to start. A lot of Admin was required to bring the accounts up to date, new registrations for VAT and PAYE completed and Bank and Business management taken care of with FreeAgent and Tide. SG have been absolutely brilliant, on every level, from Customer engagement, understanding the requirements, practical advice and solid delivery they have stuck with the task of bringing me back online, which has frankly saved my sanity and put me in a great position to move forward. I highly recommend their services on a personal and professional level!read moreread less
- Ryan Badcock3/20/2023SG have made my accounting very straightforward for me. They have set me up in the best way for my circumstances and manage all of my queries very efficiently. I feel as though SG have my accounts in hand very well and I do not need to worry about them. I get given clear guidance and options to make decisions with. I would and have recommended SG to friends and family.read moreread less
- Nick Barber12/13/2022I have been a very satisfied client of SG Accounting for over 20 years and am happy to give them a hearty recommendation. SG have managed my professional accounting needs in an exemplary manner throughout and I have had no issues with their work. They have always been extremely professional in their dealings with me while feeling more like friends than suppliers. Now I have retired it will be sad to lose contact with them. If you're just starting out contracting and you need an accountant, or if you're fed up with your existing accountants then give SG a call.read moreread lessNick Barber12/12/2022I have been a very satisfied client of SG Accounting for over 20 years and am happy to give them a hearty recommendation.

- Tim Caldicott10/12/2022Having used SG for over 15 years, I thoroughly recommend them. They're very professional, efficient and have kept my company accounts (and me!) "inline". They always send timely reminders to ensure all the necessary actions are taken - very useful when running your own business. They represent very good value for money for the complete range of services they provide. If you're looking for a good accountant, look no further.read moreread less

- Mahmoud Lababidi4/12/2022If you're looking for an accountant who handles your affairs (from accounts to personal tax returns, yearly reports and review of financial position...etc), very professionally and with genuine trustworthiness, then SG is the one for you. Had flawless service from them for over 2 years now and I don't think I will be going anywhere else anytime soon!!read moreread lessElliot Herman3/12/2021I first started using this company back in 2009, and haven't regretted it for a second. My only regret is that I left the UK and had to close my UK Ltd company. Like everything else they've done for me over the years, they handled it swiftly and efficiently. I can't recommend them highly enough! Questions are answered quickly and fully, and often at unusual hours (in one case, I got a reply to an email at 3:30am, and when i asked him if he was working from abroad, he just explained that he couldn't sleep, so decided to do some work!). Until you've dealt with accountants in another country, you won't realise just how good SG are! I miss them so much. They're not the cheapest, but absolutely worth every penny.read moreread lessRoland Swan3/12/2021I have now been with SG Accounting for 2 months and I do not regret the move. Their service so far has been prompt, clear, and accurate. Right from the first conversation with Laura I felt like I was in good hands, and Amanda has been a great support with any questions or guidance I might need as well. I would highly recommend SG Accounting to any other contractor looking for a reliable accountant.read moreread less
- Maria Ball3/12/2021I found this accountant by chance when doing a Google search for more local contractor accountants, who also provide FreeAgent access. What a find! They may not have been as local as I was originally looking for, but their good reviews and impressive website were enough to tempt me to give them a call. Right from the very first contact with them, I have been nothing but impressed with their helpfulness and professionalism. We were assigned Laura to be our main contact. We had an initial Zoom video meeting with her, and any further questions have been dealt with really quickly by email. I've found Laura to be friendly, professional, knowledgeable, helpful and efficient. Nothing seems too much trouble, and I'm left feeling really confident that all of our accounting needs will be taken care of in the best possible way. We previously used a different contractor accountant for 8 years, and immediately after starting to use SG Accounting, it became apparent just how little help and support my previous accountant gave us over the years. They always used to make me feel like it was an inconvenience if I phoned them, and every service used to incur an extra add-on charge, such as incorporating a new company, having access to FreeAgent, using their business address, etc. Using SG Accounting has been like a breath of fresh air. There's a great support team, who all seem to be helpful and good at what they do. Everything we need is included in a set monthly price, so no hidden extras. All those things I used to pay extra for, and more, are now part of our package. It even includes a really good level of business insurance, so it works out cheaper than having to buy separate cover. All in all, a great success. I'm really glad to have found SG Accounting, and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. And no, I haven't been paid for leaving this review, or been given any discounts with them. I just think this great business deserves recognition, and I wanted to share what my user experience has been like.read moreread lessK Bene3/12/2021I consider myself lucky to have come across SG Accounting by sheer chance. I was looking for a contractor in my area which is Reading and I looked on FreeAgent's website and I accidentally clicked on SG's contact details - who are definitely not even near Reading - and that's how I came into contact with them. They were so welcoming during the first conversation that I have decided to go with them and I am very pleased I did. Every person I have been in contact with so far have been wonderful and they all offer impeccable service. This is a rare treasure in today's world and if it was up to me I would set this as the gold standard for all companies and I'd refuse to do business with anyone not hitting this standard. I fear 90% of companies would not live up to this expectation... If all - or at least more companies operated like SG, the world would be a much more pleasant place. This is my genuine, unsolicited opinion and I can only wish to find service providers half this good in other walks of life as well. I am looking forward to continue working with the SG team.read moreread lessHugh Davey3/12/2021Good contractor accountant. You get a personal point of contact and an easy smart spreadsheet which you can use to track your business ins and outs, calculating what you can spend.

- Hayley Isaac3/12/2020I've been working with the SG Accounting Team for a few years now. Initially being new to contracting the whole process was quite daunting. I was connected to Richard Murray who took all the stress out of the process and guided me through to setting up my own business from scratch. He took care of any worries or concerns and explains things in a way that you don't need to have a degree in accounting to understand. Their system is simple, in tune with the busy schedule being independent brings and are always there for support. Their advice is second to none and will always be truthful and legitimate ensuring exposure is kept to a minimum giving you peace of mind. I personally recommend these guys and Rich Murray in particular, he's a real person and keen to ensure things work in tune with your own personal circumstances. Keep up the great work and look forward to continuing to work with you all.read moreread lessAndrew Faiers3/12/2020I have been using SG Accountants for over 2 years and from the first introductory meeting with Dan the service has been excellent. I have been really impressed with the professional, helpful and friendly approach made by all members of the team.

- John Hall3/12/2020Setting up my new venture was made so much easier by SG. From initial advice, through setting up the limited company, to getting my accounting package prepared and bank account set up.

My initial contact and in-person meeting with Dan set the scene for an efficient and supportive working relationship. The team is extremely responsive, professional, helpful and proactive. They have never failed to provide a prompt response to many of my ad hoc queries, and in addition are always proactive when time comes to returns or any other deadlines. The ability to use accounting software as part of some of the packages is extremely helpful as it links in with SG's own systems and means information flow is streamlined. I think the services is fantastic and great value for money and I have no desire to go anywhere else. Thanks SG Team!read moreread less

- Ben Folwell3/12/2020Great hardworking team at SG. I've been contracting for the last couple of years and SG have helped brilliantly with not just the day to day running of the company but also the advice and help to set the company up initially. I would happily recommend SG to any colleagues requiring accounting services. Their fixed price model is very handy for controlling accounting costs. Rich Murray has been great with any queries I have and is always on hand to offer advice and support when I need it. Face to face meetings conducted in the pub always go down well. Rich however, never forgets when it's my round!read moreread lessRiccardo Reato3/12/2020Just started 2 months ago my work relationship with SG accounting.

- Adrian3/12/2020To get started, I was offered a face to face introductory meeting with Laura, my Account Manager, but as I was very busy I couldn't fit this into my diary so we did this by phone instead. Laura helpfully answered the questions I had about how I should operate tax efficiently and some other queries I had. Since then, all I've had to do is keep track of my invoices and bank account entries in Free Agent and SG take care of everything from there. Any further questions I have had have been answered very quickly. It all couldn't be easier and I can highly recommend SG.read moreread lessConstantinos Fasoulis3/12/2020I have been working with SG Contractor Accounting for 2 years and even from our first introductory face to face meeting I knew I made the right choice.

It’s reassuring to know that the SG team are always on hand and happy to help with any accounting enquiry big or small. Having peace of mind on your business accounts is priceless... thank you SG Accounting!read moreread less
