EXCELLENT Based on 9 reviews Posted on Google Victoria HoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service once again from LSC in doing my tax return. Lorraine makes the whole process so easy and stress free. Cannot recommend her enough!Posted on Google Terry HavenhandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We met Lorraine from LSC account ing at the end of last year. We had a taxation problem that we just could not get our heads around, even some of the tax advisers at HMRC were either very vague or clueless with the help that we sort. Lorraine has solved the problem and made the way ahead so much easier, not only understanding but also pay any further fees. Thank you Lorraine and LSC for all your help and guidance.Posted on Google Gary GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently set up a limited company and LSC have been fantastic. They’ve always made time to answer my questions, no matter how silly they are. They have been extremely patient and always quick to respond to any queries I have. They have helped me understand my finances and tax implications. Would highly recommend to others, especially start ups like myself.Posted on Google Abbey PurcellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can't recommend Lorraine at LSC enough, went into the shop knowing nothing about tax returns being so sceptical about starting my own business but with her knowledge and support, it's now something I'm capable of doing knowing I have a great accountant to go to. Highly recommend, she was professional and very knowledgeable. Massive thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Posted on Google louis wiborgTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best Accountant’s around. After numerous attempts of trying to find an accountant Lorraine and her team picked up the slack, helped me along the way and proved why they’re the best in the business.Posted on Google Rie PearsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lorraine's advice is invaluable. As a new business I didn't have a clue where to start. Straight forward and sound advice and support put me on the right track, and reduced my worries. I 100% recommend LSC Accounting.Posted on Google Sam PiplicaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Date: Friday, 11 June 2021 To Whom It May Concern Testimonial for LSC Accounting Limited LSC Accounting Limited is an outstanding accountancy firm. I know how to drive a calculator and park an invoice, but I was lost when it turned out my first accountant did not know how to read a map (gave wrong advice but that did not go with the analogy). LSC Accounting helped sort out multiple payment issues, tax miscalculations and an incorrect furlough application moments before the deadline. Lorraine made time for me when I didn’t know what to do and gave professional advice in a timely manner. Being inexperienced/newly self-employed, Lorraine took the time to help me through my first self-assessment and my first company accountants’ submission, and I feel like I am back in the driving seat. Since then, the LSC team (Sean) has helped me with my first members of staff setting up PAYE and pensions. I would have no hesitation recommending Lorraine of LSC Accounting Limited to anyone for any accounting needs. Thank you, Lorraine Yours Sincerely Sam Piplica Sam Piplica BSc (Hons) MRICS MFPWS On behalf of Sam Piplica Surveying LimitedPosted on Google Gav GrievesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best accountants we've used and they're advice and tips are spot on.
