What Our Clients Say
Don't just take our word for it - our clients have wonderful things to say about our services. Wojciech Rzadkosz, Digital Wealth Specialist and Founder of R-Solutions Ltd, says, "The Friendly Accountants are a rare breed amongst accountants in that they specialise in and understand what most of their competitors avoid - cryptocurrency." Leah Boleyn, Managing Partner of 2 Angels, says, "In your first year of trading, it's important to have people you can trust to answer questions and set you on the right path. I think generally in your first year you can make all sorts of bad choices but instructing TFA, for us, was NOT one of them." Phil Woodward, Director of Ideal Warmth Limited, says, "I am absolutely delighted with the service I have received from TFA and since working with them my stress levels have reduced considerably!"
