Compare services, prices and packages available. A good accountant should be experienced, trustworthy and willing to answer questions freely.

“I’ve been working with Adam & Franks for 6 months now and The service has been superb. I have recently set up a new business in Wetherby and Adam has helped me navigate various challenges many of which weren’t always accounts related. For me, it was a proactive accountant AND person to discuss business with that I needed, without feeling like I was going to get another bill, or was taking advantage of the service – he has delivered on both. If you are a new or even established business wanting to grow then definitely have a chat with Adam and his team.”
“Totally brilliant. Been with Franks since the beginning of the year, fixed price with no hidden extras. Totally personal service and great advice, has saved me almost what they cost! Always on hand to help, really can’t praise them enough! Very happy customer.”
“Adam has gone above and beyond, offering excellent business advice, and has assisted with various aspects of my business, his knowledge and advice has been invaluable.”
“I needed my accountant to be patient, down to earth and accommodating as well as good at their job – what a relief when I met Adam. Introduced via a mutual friend – who also raved about him – it was the best decision I made for me and my business moving forward. I still hate doing my accounts but a weight has been lifted knowing that Adam has got my back. I have been with Franks Accountants for a year now and have no hesitation in recommending the team. I have become a Limited Company and have had a successful first year in this new position. Thank you!”
“We were worried about switching accountants but Franks made it such a simple process. What’s more the service you get is a different level; never experienced a proactive accountant before! He actually phones me and makes suggestions rather than me having to chase. Best thing we ever did.”
“I’m a true believer that you should get a professional to do a good job. Adam and his team have more than surpassed that statement and I need not worry about my accounts no longer. Highly recommend them!”
“We’ve been with Franks Accountants for 3 years now and it has made a huge difference to our business. It is a breath of fresh air that everything is explained to us in plain english so we fully understand what’s going on. Additionally, being available for general business advice has been invaluable for us and the flexibility out of hours really helps. Highly recommended.”
