I'm a new business owner and BI Accountancy has walked me through the minefield of accountancy every step of the way. You are assigned a single point of contact and (in my case) they are very responsive to your questions and incredibly helpful. Recommended.

They did an excellent job handling all the accounts for my company. The team is professional and efficient, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. A special mention to Millie McGaughey, who always responded quickly and took care of all issues. She was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!
